Measuring

In Math, the children have been very interested in measuring the room.  When there is a choice of math activities, they often choose to measure the length of the room using different types of blocks.  Last week, we used more traditional measuring devices: rulers, meter sticks, and tape measures.  We also expanded from just measuring the room to measuring ourselves.  The class is learning the difference between the inches/feet side of measuring tool and the mm/cm/meter side.  It is hard to use the same side consistent but with practice it will become easier.
