Happy Monday,
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Just a reminder...we will be having our Valentine's Party on Wednesday at the end of our school day. The kids will exchange Valentine's and have a small treat, provided by me. If your child is bringing Valentine's cards, please have them sign the cards, but leave the "to" section blank. We have 24 kids in our class.

A Math Message from Mrs. Bloomfield
First Graders are continuing to work on decomposing and composing numbers to make a group of 10 and 20! This has been a challenging concept for many of the students to “get.” This week will be just as challenging; the students will be working within 100. They will decompose a two digit number to get to the next “10” by decomposing a two digit number. Please look at the example below in case you or your child is unsure of what the steps to complete the homework.
Here is an example of this week's homework:
34 + 12 = ___
↙ ↘ ↙ ↘ 1.Decompose 34 into 30 and 4 and 12 into 10 and 2
30 4 + 10 2 2.Combine “like” place value; tens and ones
(30 + 10) + (4 + 2) 3. Add 30 and 10 then add 4 and 2
↘ ↙ ↘ ↙
40 + 6 = 46 4. Add 10’s and 1’s together to find the sum.
President’s Day will be celebrated on February 19th. Oasis will not have school on Monday, February 19th!
Monday, February 12th is President Lincoln’s Birthday and Thursday, February 15th is President Washington’s Birthday. I wonder if we could figure out how old each President would be…?
