Curriculum Areas/Learning Outcomes
Math: Concept 1: Development of computational fluency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers requires flexible decomposing and composing.
Connection: Your child will spend the weeks of the unit practicing with measurement and computation including estimation.
Concept 2: Regular increases and decreases in patterns can be identified and used to make generalizations. Connection: Your child will hear about the Imperial and the Metric system and use these to make generalizations. Concept 3: Standard units are used to describe, measure, and compare attributes of objects’ shapes. Connection: Your child will learn about the Imperial and Metric systems of measurement. Perimeter, area and circumference will be introduced as well.
Language Arts: Concept: Stories and other texts help us learn about ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Connection: Stories about measurement will get your child thinking about their own life and the things around them.
Social Studies: Concept: People from diverse cultures and societies share some common experiences and aspects of life.

Curriculum Overview
This month you will dive into Linear Measurement. You will work from the whole to the parts, from the child to the world around them. Each piece of the history of measurement will include the story, the perspective of the people of that time, an activity for your child, and book work that will become like a manual for measurement. This month is designed to provide you with some flexibility and therefore will cover all curriculum in the first 15 days of plans. The final 5 days will be a project that you can choose to skip or complete. We hope that this way you can create flexibility if you need time off or can count on the routine of having all 20 days of planning if you need to keep going. As you go through the month remember that your child will need to be working on their math foundation muscles and should be taking 15-30 minutes a day to work in a leveled math workbook. You will also need to provide about 30 minutes of reading time each day. Your child will get time to write this month but feel free to have them keep a journal as well. For the project week your child will be invited to create a shelf to hang on the wall made of wood. You’ll need materials for this on Day 17. Your child will also be invited to create their own ruler on Day 12. For the ruler you will need a piece of very thin wood that is flat, 1.5” to 2” wide, and 1’ long. They will sand it and mark it up. If the piece is too long, they can saw it to the right length.
For your story line, you can keep reading from the Old Testament. On Day 5 you’ll need the story of Noah and the Flood. If the Old Testament is not a match for you it is possible to use Legends. A good resource is Sparkle Stories, original audio for children.
