Here is a funny video I found on Teacher Tube for you to watch!   We have been learning about three kinds of Measurement – Length, Capacity and Weight in class the pass few weeks!   I thought this teacher was quite creative and you kids always like a good rap. I printed out the lyrics so I will get them to you next week!  

DON’T FORGET that:

12 inches=1 foot

3 feet=1 yard

4 cups=1 quart

2 cups=1 pint

2 pints=1 quart

4 quarts=1 gallon

16 ounces=1 pound

1,000 grams=1 kilogram

and so on…. right!!!!   Happy Thinking to YOU!   Have a great weekend!

We are setting goals for the 2010 year!   We each have set a goal for at school and at home.   We want to BE the BEST we CAN be!   Please read them!

Before Christmas during our Food Unit, the kids had many food challenges.   One of them was to try out a recipe and eat a meal from a different culture.   Some kids were kind enough to share some pics with us! Happy Eating!!!
