Measuring Snowmen

We are beginning the new year with a unit on measurement.  The children are learning that their are different ways to measure using standard and non-standard measuring devices.  Non-standard devices might include string, shoes, blocks and paperclips.  Standard measuring devices might include tape measure, measuring cups, ruler and a scale.

Take a look at out beautiful snowman we created at the art center using a variety of materials and techniques.  We then used our snowmen as part of a math measurement activity and had the students using cubes to measure the height.  We displayed them all on the bulletin board.  We are very proud of our great work!
