Measurement

 I love student-directed learning! Today, my students were given the challenge of measuring at least three things in the room with a stack of 10 linking cubes.  Were the items bigger or smaller than their tower?  It was fun to watch them run around the room, busying themselves with math.  Not realizing how much they were learning as they interacted with the world.  It's joyous to watch them come alive...having conversations, calling out to each other, "Come see this Kleenex box!" "I measured the Ruby Slipper legs!"  They just flat-out make me happy.  I saw this last night and it made me think about this very thing.

I wanted to share some pictures of their learning.  I have a lot of lamps illuminating  my room, so it cast a special "glow" today....let's just call it Kindergarten Magic Lighting.  

Tomorrow's prompt: Choose two objects from the basket.  Which object is the longest?  Draw and label the objects.  Repeat with another pair of objects from the basket.

This prompt is from the K-5 Math Resources: Kindergarten Math Prompts Packet.
