This week my firsties are working on measuring length using standard and non-standard units.Since I had already planned a mini-Read Across America event for Monday, followed on Tuesday with Mardi Gras, and then St. Patrick's Day the following week, before heading off for Spring Vacation, I thought I would create a March-themed measuring booklet for my kiddos that included all 3 of these celebrations.
I had a lot of fun with this one - trying my own hand at writing rhyming verse like the dear Doctor. It actually turned out pretty cute... but best off all- my students are really enjoying the booklet and are getting lots of practice measuring using inches, centimeters, paper clips, and linking cubes. They are also learning how to use approximation - and determine the nearest whole or half unit when measuring.
And to top it off, my early finishers are enjoying coloring the pages...and they claim they LOVE measuring! Yippee!
Grab a FREE copy HERE before Monday, March 10th. After that, you can find it in my TPT store.
Please let me know if you find any typos.
Enjoy!
