How Do We Measure Up?

With Non-Standard Units!!
(what are those? things like paper clips and counting cubes)

Dear First Graders,

     I loved measuring with you this week! I was also very proud of how well you did working with your buddy and helping to ensure we follow the...

rules of measurement! 

Measure from starting to ending point.
Measure in a straight line. 
Measure with the same unit.
Place unit of measurement end to end.
(Do not overlap or leave a gap!)

   
    We used our foot to measure objects in the room and guess what??? When we all measured our desks we got lots of different answers!  We discovered that it is important to use the same units of measurement if we want to compare.  Here is a great book that we read to help us understand some of our measurement rules. 




   We also enjoyed two mystery readers and celebrated a friend's birthday this week!! (We are all booked for Mystery Readers until February break.)



Having fun making bracelets and playing with friends. 


Bear Hugs!!
