This is a big week for us.  We are beginning a new math chapter on metric measurement.  We are going to be learning about the prefixes centi-, hecto-, deci-, deck-, kilo-, and mili-, as well as the root words gram, meter, and liter.  We will be putting all of these words together into a place value chart for metric measurement, then using these measurements to measure objects in and around the classroom.

On Wednesday we go to Woodland Park Zoo.  Please do not sent money with your kiddo.  We have told all of the third graders that we will not be buying things from the gift shops, or getting snacks there.  Make sure that your kiddo has a lunch packed.  It would be helpful for us as well as your child if you could send the lunch in a disposable bag.  We will be walking all around the zoo, and we will not want to be carrying our lunch boxes everywhere. 

We are very close to earning our next button party!!
