For the month of April our calendar markers have focused on measurable attributes including length, weight, capacity, and temperature, along with various tools that might be use for measuring each of these. During Number Corner we have practiced identifying attributes that could be measured for specific objects. For example we might measure the length and weight of a glue stick, but probably not the temperature. During math we have measured the lengths and weights of various objects. Children have especially enjoyed measuring each other. While the units we have used to measure these are non-standard (cubes and craft sticks for length, counting bears and pennies for weight) we have talked about the importance of using a uniform unit. We closed the week measuring and comparing our stuffies, which was lots of fun!
