• measuring length using the vocabulary:  long/longest and short/shortest
• measuring height using the vocabulary:  tall/tallest and short/shortest
• we compared objects of different lengths and heights to each other to find which was the longest/shortest, etc.
• we learned to use a start line when comparing objects of different lengths and heights

Hello Parents!

      Just a quick note about tonight's math homework.  I'm sorry there are not directions...it was meant to be classwork but we didn't have time to start it today.  Your child is supposed to break down the two digit number into tens and ones.  Then add the ones.  Then add the ten to the ones.

Also the worksheet starts at 5 and ends at number 10...so there is no 1 through 4.  

Sorry if there was any confusion!

Here's an example:

• Permission slips for tomorrows field trip should be handed in today. If you are interested in being a chaperone and would like to carpool, please email me. mindy.canalori@new-haven.k12.ct.us

• Friday's spelling test will be given Monday, January 8th. .
