Happy Fall to All!

We have been working very hard this month.  Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement. Now, more on how you can help your child understand and build their thinking skills for measurement.

Using measurement in daily life involves making comparisons. This language takes practice to develop.

Start by modeling a comparison and then ask an open-ended question that allows your child to explore. For example, "A plate is heavier than a fork.  What can you find that is heavier than a plate?" 

Some basic terms to practice:

heavier and lighter, nearer and farther, younger and older, taller and shorter,

more and less, longer time and shorter time

Have fun extending your child's language of measurement!
