Measuring with nonstandard units of measurement

A group of students just measured the room with linking cubes, a non-standard unit of measurement.  Why is this good?  Because it's using both sides of the brain and growing a deeper understanding of measurement.  How long is our room? 532 linking cubes!

Great First Few Weeks!

We're off to a great start this year!  We've been fully engrossed in our Reading and Writing and are continuing to build upon our concepts learned.  I am half-way through my individual assessments and am looking forward to working with small groups as well as some one on one.  Recently, we created a Doubles booklet in Math with all our doubles concepts learned and our "Doubles Chant".  We also worked on number bonds with number bracelets, and even Mrs. Campbell got in on the action!
