Wow!! We are in week 32 of our school year. It is hard to believe that we only have 20 days left of school. The days are definitely feeling like summers. Please remember to send a water bottle in with your child.
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that have been helping out all year and especially during our testing weeks. We couldn't do it without all the support of the wonderful parents.
Last week in first grade...
- we worked really hard on writing our small moment narratives.
- First graders also look at animal super powers with the focus on their teeth.
- We started to identify and describe the central message
- We reviewed previous learning and will begin re-assessments this coming week.
This week we will...
- Work on our personal narratives.
- Identify the central message of a story.
- Review they types of sentences.
- Determine why animal have camouflage.
Math news from Miss Garcia
Thank you for ALL that you do to go above and beyond to help your children

and the teachers of Oasis Academy.
We are down to the last 20 days of school…which is SCARY & EXCITING
at the same time! There is still a bunch of math concepts, strategies and
assessments to work on and complete. The teachers are also busy re-assessing
most concepts taught in order to see if your child has mastered them by the
end of the year.

Our focus this week in first grade will be to add two, 2-digit numbers by
using 2 different strategies: Branch Addition (which the kids are familiar
with) and Arrow Method, which is a newer concept that we began last
week and will continue to work with again this week. Both examples
are listed below.

Branch Method Examples:
Example 31 + 6 = 52 + 12 =
↙ ↘ ↘ ↙ ↘ ↙ ↘
30 + (1 + 6) = 50 2 10 2
30 + 7 = 37 (50+10) + (2+2) =
60 + 4 = 64
Arrow Method Example:
53 + 34 = 1. Start with the bigger addend (53).
+ 30 +4
53 → 83 →87 2. Draw an arrow. Break down the other addend (34) into tens(30)
and ones (4).
3. Above the arrow write a plus sign and the amount of tens (+30).
Write the subtotal.after the arrow (83).
4. Draw another arrow after the subtotal. Above the arrow write a
plus sign and the amount of ones (+4). Write the total (87).
