Happy Spring First Grade Families!!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break. It was nice having a break at the end of third quarter. The first graders complete a lot of quarter assessment before break.
Reminders:
- Friday, March 31 is Parent-Teacher conferences. Thank you to everyone who already signed up. If you haven't please make sure to do so soon via signupgenius.com. I look forward to meeting with everyone to discuss your child's progress.
- Don't forget to complete the Returning Student form if your child is returning to Oasis academy next year. This too was sent out via email. The deadline for this is March 30.
This Week we will...

- begin our narrative writing. This week we will use different graphic organizers to get our ideas down.
- use MINTS to remind us of the items that need capitals when writing. Months, I, Names, Titles, Sentence beginnings.

Welcome Back 1st Graders,
I hope that you had a fun and relaxing Spring Break! With Spring Break coming to an end that means that it is the beginning of 4th Quarter! I can’t believe that it is our last quarter of this school year.
This week, our class will be focusing on fractions. We will partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares. We will describe these parts as halves, fourths and quarters.
