M is for Measurement

Recently the students completed an activity that incorporated many of their fine skills. We started the activity by cutting out their traced foot, measured the length of it using cubes, counted how many cubes were needed to cover the length of their foot, and then chose a "mini" or "big" language challenge for its completion (printing sight words or printing the whole sentence).


We have also been discussing other various ways that you can measure things using language such as taller or shorter, heavier or lighter, and bigger or smaller. A balance scale with regular classroom items was placed at a table for students to use and explore.
