Oasis Academy is currently writing our Continuous Improvement Plan. A big part of writing that plan is providing important student achievement data to our families.
Over the next two days we have scheduled two times you can log in live to see our student data presented and ask any questions you may have about that data.
We hope that you will find time to join us and see what our students are achieving. If you are unable to join us live, a recording will be sent out later.
Dates are:
Tuesday, Oct. 5, 9:00-10:00am
Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2:00-3:30pm
Please check your email for a link to the meetings. Thank you for being an active participant in education.

Ms. Bogdanowicz's Science Class tested for macromolecules to help solve a hypothetical crime. Students watched for reactions in solutions testing for lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Students in Mrs. Renfroe's third grade class were investigating Newton’s first law of motion and seeing first hand how an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless it is acted upon by an external force. They were given 4 cups and 3 index cards and had to make a tower and then pull the cards to try and have the cups collapse into each other in a stackable manner without disturbing the other cups or tower!
Congratulations to Trevor Halloran for finishing FIRST in the putting competition at the Western Nevada College Golf for Education Tournament last Friday.

Reading Tip! When reading a book where the print is large, point word by word as you read. This will help the child learn that reading goes from left to right and understand that the word he or she says is the word he or she sees. Source: http://www.k12reader.com/
Kindergarteners in Mrs. Maloney's class shared stories they wrote and illustrated with their classmates. Classmates showed mutual respect and attentive listening to one another by complimenting the authors and their pictures.
Show your kids math at work in their world. Get your kids used to math by thinking out loud when making calculations. Then, let your children work out some real-life puzzles themselves. For example:
- Let them measure when you bake.
- Ask them to figure out how long of a hose you need to reach from the faucet on the side of the house to the garden.
- Let your child figure out how many miles you’ll be driving on your next trip by using the information on a map.
- Sort silverware by knives, forks, and spoons. Sort cards by suit or numbers.
