Math News From Miss Garcia
The countdown is on! We are officially down to the last 12 days of school. You should have received an email from O.A. about Field Day. Field Day will be held at Oasis Academy on the last day of school, May 25th, from 8:00 - 2:00.
The first graders will review measurement this week. They will order 2 or more items by length while also using “non-standard” units such as cubes, paperclips or disks to tell the length of an object. I will also give them a “standard unit”, a ruler, to measure objects in the room to the nearest inch. The students will also review geometry focusing on using 2-dimensional shapes to compose a new shape while counting sides and vertices.
