Thank your for showing extra special kindness on World Kindness Day, friends. 

Today, students worked on representing the length of their foot using snap cubes. Students traced their shoe and then measured it using snap cubes. We compared our shoe length with others in the class. We shared using words, longer and shorter. Students were challenged to find a friend with a different foot length by comparing snap cube towers and then share if their foot is longer or shorter than their friend.
