In class this week, we have been learning about measurement and why we measure things. They have learned the concept of longer and shorter and have gotten a lot of practice showing me they understand this new concept. The classes have had so much fun with the hands-on experience of getting to measure objects in the room with unifix cubes! In kindergarten, we are giving them the opportunity to learn the concept of measurement and how to practice measuring the length or height of objects. They will be learning how to use a ruler when they measure in older grades but this a good start to the concept to build upon later. Today they got to work with partners and work together to fill out an activity where I asked them to measure various things in the classroom and record how many cubes long they were. It was so fun seeing them all working together as partners and learning from one another! I was so proud of their team work!
We had a fun filled day today and I am beyond blown away with all they are learning! It is truly AMAZING! Have a great weekend, everyone!
