In Math, we will be completing a unit on Measurement. Learning Goals: use different units to measure the passage of time; use a calendar; measure length, width, and height in centimeters and metres; measure perimeter in centimeters and metres; and measure the mass of an object in grams and in kilograms; demonstrate an understanding of perimeter. Students should continue to review multiplication facts up to 5x5 as well.

Homework
· Each week, your child will be bringing home books at his/her independent reading level (good fit books). Please make time each night to allow your child to read these to you. An important component of strengthening your child’s reading skills is regular home reading practice. Ask your child about what they are reading and have them answer questions.
· For some fun math practice at home with your child, continue to practice how to measure and record perimeter in (cm and m) at home. Make sure to visit the Xtra Math site for practice on basic math facts.
· As always if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at school, send a note in your child’s communication bag, or send me an email.
