Dear Parents.
Thanks for making Parent Teacher Conferences great!! Friday was definitely a packed day,
but it was very fun to meet with so many families to discuss the progress of your student!

As many of you are aware, one of 8th grade students was in an accident. To support this
student (who is a big Boise State fan), Oasis is having a school wide fundraiser.
On Monday students may pay a $1 and wear blue and orange instead of their uniform.

Math
This past week students spent time exploring fractions. So far students have worked on
naming fractions of a whole, recognizing the unit fractions one half, one third, and one
fourth. Students have also worked on identifying, reading, and writing fractions.

We worked on describing fractions by saying 3/4 of the shape is green.
3/4 is 3 out of the 4 equal parts.
We will continue working with fractions on Monday and review and assess on Tuesday.

We also started to create personal timelines. Students will complete personal
timelines this week and begin researching their decade at the end of the week.

With April, the days have been a little warmer (except for last Thursday when a few
snowflakes were in the air) and of course a bit lighter later. Lacrosse, softball, and baseball
are all in full swing, which makes for very busy afternoons and nights. Please be sure to
try to keep a regular schedule as Miss Garcia and myself want well rested learners.
