Did you realize that
measuring with standard/nonstandard units
is a Kindergarten expectation?
I know it may seem awfully young to expose the Kinders to the world of finding out how
tall, long, short, or wide something is, but...
THEY CAN DO IT!
These last few weeks, we've learned how to measure using nonstandard units
(paper clips, unifix cubes, counting bears)
to using a ruler for inches.
I will say, the rulers (Inchy the Inchworm)
is a huge hit!
The kinders understand what the markings means, what the 1/2" marks mean, how to accurately measure beginning at 0", and how many inches are in a ruler.
We are moving into
measuring with telling time.
It is NOT a Kindergarten standard, but I want my KinderKids to understand an analog clock, how the hands work, what the hands mean, and how to tell time to the hour and 1/2 an hour.
Room 5 is busy exercising their brains.
Can't you tell how big our brains are?
Are we blowing your mind yet?
