Happy Monday!
Your child should be able to come home and discuss measurement with you! The students have been having a great time measuring using both standard (inches, centimeters, feet) and non-standard units (small and large paperclips, cubes, tiles). They should be able to tell you that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
The second graders will continue to work on measuring this week and we hope to test by Thursday. They have shown great interest in measurement. They have had the chance to explore with many tools: rulers, measuring tapes, yardsticks, tape measures as well as a measuring wheel...ask your student what you can use a measuring wheel for. I purchased one for the classroom and will share it between my class and Mrs. Bloomfield’s class. I also purchased a tape measure that measures to 100 ft. because the kids have expressed an interest in measuring the cafeteria, classroom and hallways! Their questions and interests really guide the instruction in our classroom.

We will also continue working on compound words.
Have a great week!
