Comparing and ordering by length, Indirect Measurement,
Using Units to Estimate and Measure Length, and Measuring
Using Different Length.

Please have your student
continue working on their facts. Xtramath is a great way to do this. It also
allows me to track their progress. Please let me know if you need the information
for accessing it through your computer or personal iPads.
Homework-Purple

There
will be a math sheet for homework every night (unless there is a test or
