Warm-Up

Quick review: your child measures a spoon in both inches (about 6 in) and centimeters (about 15 cm) and explains why the centimeter number is bigger. Then they name the three tools from this week and one thing each is good for.

Weekly Assessment

Set out six objects: a crayon, a book, a shoe, the kitchen table, a rug, and a doorway. Your child chooses the tool for each, measures to the nearest inch, and records the object, tool, and measurement on a chart. Check that each measurement starts at 0 and that the tape measure or yardstick was chosen for the table, rug, and doorway.

Practice: Measurement Riddles

Give riddles to solve with the ruler: 'I am in the kitchen and I am about 7 inches long. What am I?' (a fork or spatula); 'I am on the bookshelf and about 20 centimeters tall'; 'I am in your closet and about 30 inches long.' Your child measures candidates to check each guess and then writes one riddle for you to solve.

Wrap-Up

Reading Celebration

Flip back through 'A Drop of Water' and 'The Magic School Bus at the Waterworks' and have your child pick their favorite photo or page. They tell you the fact it taught and which fix-it move helped most this week.

Reading Response

Read the two-page spread about soap bubbles in 'A Drop of Water' aloud once. Your child writes three sentences: what the page was about, one fact from the words, and one fact from a photo. Score it against the week's objective: did they use the text, the photo, and their own words?

Publishing and Author's Chair

Your child copies the rest of their edited piece neatly, adds a title and a small drawing or diagram with a caption, and reads it aloud from a special chair. Ask them to point to one ARMS change and one CUPS fix and explain why each made the writing better.
