Recently, I got this email from a teacher about my upcoming math book. Just had to share it with you all to put a smile on your faces:
Hi Debbie,
It is an IMMENSE RELIEF to hear you only have two chapters remaining in your math book adventure. This is why. While reviewing units of measure for our state testing in early March, I asked my 4th graders, “Ok, next one. How many feet are in a yard?” One of my more creative thinkers replied, “Well, DUH, it depends on how many you invite over!!”
Isn’t that a good one! Not to worry, I’ve finished writing the chapter about measurement stations! I’m writing about addition and subtraction stations right now. Almost there!
Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni is such a wonderful book to read aloud to introduce children to measurement.
