As you are busily looking for gifts for your children, don’t forget a simple tape measurer (fabric is ideal).
Thursday morning I put out different crafts and things to
work on, and every child received a simple tape measure as well.
First, there was curiosity and counting, then there was an explosion of excitement as they started to measure EVERYTHING!
Within no time, numbers were being called out followed by “the floor is longer than 60!” HC announced. Once they discovered things were “longer than 60,” they banded together “It’s 60 and 60 and 60!”
ES exclaimed, “It’s 60 three times! Do you know what that is?! 180!!” Every child in the classroom was measuring and adding their measuring tape to see the length of the rugs, width and length of the floor, the height of the tree – it was a full-blown Seabury moment.
No directions, just a measuring tape.
Simply enjoy!
