The End of the 3rd Nine Weeks

Another great week of fun activities.
We finished the unit on Shapes, Halves, and Symmetry.
Please continue to encourage your child to look for different shapes in our environment, look for arrays, discuss fractions and symmetry.

We are having a great time figuring out and exploring with cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. Have your child point out the different sizes for you when grocery shopping. It's a great way to connect the real -world experience with what we are learning in class.

Our class begin a new unit on Friday.
How Long? How Far? is a unit about measurements. In our everyday world, we need to know how long things are. During this unit, your child will find several things in the classroom that are about the same length. The students will use a variety of materials, such as paper strips, interlocking cubes, string, rulers, and measuring tape as measuring tools to measure and compare lengths.
Our introduction lesson into measurement was great! Ask your child about it.
Thank you for all your support!
