Wednesday is book Exchange! Bring a book from home if you want to trade it for something new to read.
Today in class we took a break from our Everyday Math book and did some extra work with measurement. The kids need to be able to identify between inches and centimeters using a ruler and be abel to apply their knowledge while working (ie. when the paper says to use cm they should know to use centimeters and be able to measure in centimeters independently without and adult telling them which part of the ruler to use) They are only required to measure to the nearest 1/2 inch (or 1/2 Centimeter) so if something is between 13 and 14 centimeters they should write 13 and 1/2. We are going to continue to practice this skill all week in class with some fun bonus activities before we continue on with our regular book work :) I want to see all the kids master this skill before we start the next unit because it is an important life skill.
