Measuring

Today we worked on measuring with standard (inches/feet) and nonstandard (our own feet) measurement tools.  First we had a measuring lesson in the computer lab where we learned how everyone's feet are different sizes, but a ruler is standard measuring.  Then we went back to the classroom and traced our own feet.  Using our own feet as a ruler, we measured various things in the classroom. 


For enrichment, try reading these books at home (all are available from our school library).
