Our new unit of study this month is MEASUREMENT.  During the new few weeks our class will be learning how to :     * Make comparisons between objects (longer, taller). *Order lengths of objects (shortest to longest). *Compare the areas of objects by covering them with different materials. *Practice the language of measurement using words such as longer/shorter, as tall as, more/less, heavier/lighter.           *Compare the capacities of containers by filling them with water and other materials. *Compare the masses of objects using simple scales and balances.
