Last week was the last week of spelling. Also, please make sure your child continues to read for 20 minutes. We may not meet in formal reading groups these last weeks but it is important to keep reading. 

Math news from Mrs. Garcia...
The countdown is on!  We are officially down to the last 11 days of school.  You will be receiving an email from O.A. about Field Day.  Field Day will be held at Oasis Academy on the last day of school, June 7th, from 8:00 - 2:00.  ALL student are released at 2:00 this day!

Over the next week please have your 1st grader choose an IXL assignment from the 1st grade IXL objectives for math to complete for homework Monday - Thursday.  There will be no assigned homework.  I will be receiving updates through IXL in order to see who has completed assignments throughout the week.  If they choose NOT to complete an assignment each day, they will stay in for study hall.\\
