Before Halloween the children enjoyed measuring the height of different pumpkins in our classroom using snap cubes. For the activity shown in the above collage, the children measured pumpkins they made. They could make their pumpkins any size and shape. The children measured their pumpkins from the bottom to the top of the stem and recorded the measurement on a sticker on their pumpkins. A few students were very interested in ordering the pumpkins from "shortest to tallest" (see our "Short To Tall Pumpkin Wall" collage below). |
