MATH: Why do our smart phones have a built in calculator, but not a ruler? Your child should know the answer - personal references. We don't need a ruler on our smart phone because we know that from the tip of our thumb to the first knuckle is about an inch. The width of our pinkie nail is about a centimeter and the width of our palm is about a decimeter. The distance between our nose to the tip of our fingers on an outstretched hand is about yard, and from our opposite shoulder to the tip of our fingers on an outstretched hand is about a meter. Help your child estimate measurement with these personal references as they complete their homework tonight.
HOMEROOM: Parents, I'm looking for donations for the following snack items. We'll be using them to make a thankful snack on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Let me know if you are able to donate. You can just send it in with your child, but keep the activity a secret :)
