Measurement

We have started our new math unit on Measurement.  We had a blast today measuring with a partner to see if Santa was bigger, smaller or the same size as items in our classroom.  This is a cool freebie on TPT.   http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Measurement-Activity-for-Reception-Kindergarten-371190  Check it out.  See our fun below!

Measuring an Indian pointer



See our recording sheets below.  Pete and a Tissue box were smaller than Santa.  Mrs. Hightower's new Santa cup is the same size as Santa and the Promethean board was bigger than Santa.   The kids had a blast measuring around the room!!!

We also learned about Mr. and Mrs. Measurement.  The girls like Mrs. Measurement and the tools that she would use to measure with.  Most of the boys liked Mr. Measurement.  They decided to measure with the non standard measurement tool like bears.  This freebie came from http://www.pinterest.com/pin/335588609703822006.  Thanks for the great ideas!!!
