Measuring on Monday

     Last Monday, we spent time with measurement.  I asked the kids if the flag mounted on the wall was taller than me.  Most said yes.  When we took it down and I stood next to it, we found that I was actually taller than the flag.  We talked about the need to have items at the same level when you measure them in order to get an accurate measurement.  The kids then took a Post-it and found an item in the room that was either taller or shorter than they were.  They drew the items and place them appropriately on our whole group poster.
