We are really excited this year, because we the children are doing such a great job measuring and documenting.......
Kiersten is a great teacher ;0)
Ashley has become very skillful in measuring for the costumes, so she has taken the leadership in helping the children measure out their costumes.
Each child is tracing themselves for their project, and we document our measurements on our own "chart" of our body! This is turning out to be a great tool in helping the children recognize numbers and understand measuring in inches. It is also helping them understand to find the number 1 at the beginning of the measuring tape, put the 1 where we want to "start" measuring, and finding the number at the "end" of the measurement.
Parents, try doing similar activities with your child at home! Feel free to ask us about the measurements your child has been working on in class so that you can follow up in your conversations and activities at home.
