The kindergarten kids and their third grade buddies were on a roll today. We have just started exploring measuring with non-standard units and kicked of the unit by using linking cubes to measure ourselves and our buddies. We were even able to compare the two by looking at how many more or less blocks we used when measuring our buddies. The students did a great job challenging themselves and counted beautifully...I was so proud of the re-counting happening as they got into the bigger numbers. Be on the look out for more measuring challenges coming up this week and next and don't be afraid to have your child measure things around the house using their own choice of non-standard units.
