The long and short of it

This week in math we will be beginning a new chapter on measurement. Our chapter goals are to: 1) compare the length, weight, and capacity of objects, 2) measure length with non-standard units, and 3) solve problems by using appropriate strategies and skills such as estimate and measure or use a picture.

Our sight words for this week are: do, are, and that.
