This week the students finished up their measurement project. After reading the book "Measuring Penny" which is a book about a girl named Lisa who has an important homework assignment--to measure something in several different ways. She has to use standard units like inches and nonstandard units like paper clips to find out height, width, length, weight, volume, temperature, and time. She decides to use her dog. Students were asked to bring in their own stuffy to do some measurements of. They recorded their measurements and then created a poster to represent them.
We also discussed how we use measurement in everyday life and why it is important. The students had to come up with one way they use measurement in their life and represent it.
We also got to cheer on our Calgary Flames with a spirit day of wearing Red! Go Flames Go!!
