In connection with our EL curriculum, we are reading A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. Be sure to ask your child about Nya and Salva’s journey!
This week in Math:
We are on our last remaining unit of our math curriculum with some more measurement concepts. Students will learn about US Customary measurement of length (in, ft, yd, mile), capacity (cup, pint, quart, gallon), and weight (oz, lb, ton). To assist parents in helping their kids I have included a guide. I know I had to refresh myself on some of these, so hopefully this makes things easier!
Here is a parent guide for helping you and your student understand our main learning outcomes
