Letter To Parents - Literature To Read Together - Measurement

1Dear Family,
We are starting a new unit called Measurement. In Chapter 11,
we will compare, order, and measure the length and height
of objects. In Chapter 12, we will compare, order, and
measure the weight and capacity of objects. In both
chapters, we will estimate before we measure.
Love, ______________________
