Quarter 2 Week 2

Happy Halloween from Oasis Academy!

It is always a fun time at Oasis Academy when Halloween comes around because the kids get to wear costumes to school instead of their uniforms. Monday will be a fun day of learning as well as doing fun activities at our party. Your child will be meeting in class for reading and math in the morning.  Due to trick or treating happening in the evening on Monday we will not have any assigned reading homework.  Reading homework will be as usual for the rest of the week. Please remember to wear your costume and if if you choose NOT to then you must wear your uniform to school.

REMINDER: Parent Teacher Conferences begin this Friday.  I will be sending home a reminder email showing all of the conference times that are planned.  I look forward to meeting with all of you beginning on Friday.

The Scholastic Fair also begins Monday.  The book fair is set up the dungeon and is very successful due the the volunteer work of our many dedicated parents!  Stop by and check out the book fair.  Family Night is Wednesday evening from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Our Class will visit on Tuesday to make our wish lists.
Last week first graders

• sorted words by how many syllables they have. We also learned that syllables are... a word or part of a word with one vowel pattern.
• sorted words by long vowel and short vowel sound
• wrote about a haunted house by using their senses to describe one.  The first graders completed a TREE map and wrote sentences from their tree maps. These are hanging in the hallway be sure to check them out. 
• had their first Drama lesson with Mrs. Heather. We will have Drama every Tuesday and Thursday until Christmas Break.
