Measuring with Bats and Candy Corns?





We practiced our measuring skills throughout the week using non-standard units of measurement. We made our own bat measuring tape and measured a variety of classroom items including each other. We also used candy corn to estimate and measure distances between two points on a recording sheet. Our small pumpkins helped us measure girth, height and weight. We made an amazing discovery that surprised many of us--pumpkins float!
