Measuring objects is a lot of fun. We measured the length of our carpet, tables, chairs, cubbies, boxes, and even students using non-standard measuring devices (e.g. shoes, cubes, cups, straws, crayons...). We compared and ordered objects according to their measure (shortest to longest), we even brought in tape measures into our "construction zone" to measure the size of boxes, towers, and houses that we built. Outside we measures our shadows, with a partner, using rocks or twigs and recorded our observations.
