Measurement

Dear Mom and Dad:

We are off to the pond after school for the trout release.  We hope to see you all there!

Today we met with Ms. Michelle. She is helping our school plan out our naturalization area near the playground. We worked in groups and used plasticine to plan out some ideas!

Today we looked at our pumpkin plants and did some comparisons through measurement. I had to find something that was taller than, shorter than and the same size as my plant. Ask me to tell you what I found.

If I am in grade 1: I can use direct comparison to compare two objects based on a single attribute, such as length (heights), mass (weight) and volume (capacity).  

If I am in grade 2: I can compare and order objects by length, height, distance around and mass (weight), using nonstandard units, and make statements of comparison.

Question of the day: Compare the family members in your household and come up with some measurement math sentences to compare them.  For example: In our teacher triad family: Ms. Deboald is taller than Mrs. Ly. Mrs. McEvoy and Mrs. Ly are the same size. Mrs. McEvoy is shorter than Ms. Deboald.

Have a great weekend!

Love,

The Rainbow Triad
