Hello Families!

We've moved onto a new math strand - Measurement.

We will be working on the following learning goals over the new couple of weeks:

I can explain the relationships between grams and kilograms as metric units of mass, and between litres and millilitres as metric units of capacity.

I can use benchmarks for these units to estimate mass and capacity.

I can use metric units to describe the relative size of different metric units, and choose appropriate units and tools to measure length, mass, and capacity.

I can solve problems involving elapsed time by applying the relationships between different units of time.

Here are some games students can play:

Telling Time Game  (Elapsed Time)

Elapsed Time Game

Measurement Game

Measuring Using a Ruler Game

Choose the correct unit game

Converting Metric Units Game

We will have a spelling test THIS FRIDAY Dec. 4th. The words are:

wait, plane, brief, face, pain, feed, late, claim, niece, name, leave, piece, meal, cheek

In language we are continuing to work on Narrative Writing. Students are working on BOLD beginnings and EXCELLENT endings.
