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!
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.

Wishing a very happy belated birthday to the wonderful Mrs. Sayward Owsley. Thank you for all you do for Oasis Academy and our students.
Math tip for the week: Be positive about math. Express confidence in your child’s ability to do math. Don’t stress either your own fear of math or how difficult math is or how much you admire anyone who can do math. Remember, everyone can and does use math all the time.

Students in Mrs. Rosario’s Eighth Grade Class learned more about the Periodic Table in a unique lab experience. She explains, “Students arranged Periodic People into a meaningful sequence based on patterns similar to the organization of the Periodic Table of Elements. Students used their arrangement to discover the gap in their sequence (the missing Periodic Person) somewhat similar to the process that chemist Dmitri Mendeleev used with the actual Periodic Table of Elements.”
The high school girls volleyball game for today (8/30) at the Venturacci Gym has been cancelled.
