Measuring with string

We began learning about measurements. Ask if your child remembers how many inches are in 1 foot?We talked about the terms, taller, shorter, longer. Every child was measured and then given a ribbon as tall or as long as they are. Then they were able to measure things around the classroom to see if they were taller, shorter, or longer. After measuring they were able to cut the long piece of ribbon into shorter pieces and add them to the ribbon collage. Each child was given an extra length of ribbon to use at home to measure and compare shorter, longer, taller.
