Hello, Grade 1 Families,
Learning Intention: I can compare the length or capacity of two objects. I can order objects according to length or capacity.
Students measured items around the classroom with non-standard tools such as snap cubes. We even measured our feet! We discussed the difference between length and width and how we find these measurements. It came up in the discussion about what happens if one person measures in snap cubes and another measures using plastic teddy bears. How do we know what the accurate measurement is? This led to a conversation about standard measurement and why we have rulers. It would be fantastic if you could show your child how you use standard measurements at home. For example: using measuring cups/spoons, rulers, and tape measure. It is always more impactful to see our learning in real life.
We have started a coding unit using RoboGarden, made possible by Junior Achievement. Ask your child about their first day! More on this to follow in the coming weeks.
