Partner Match Up!

The first activity we did on Monday was partner match. For this we had strips that were a various lengths. We learned how to measure by lining up objects at the bottom and measuring up. As a group we began exploring, trying to find our partners. Once we found our partners we learned about each others favorite pet. After the class had partners, we switched up our strips and played again. Each time we did it we learned different things about each other (practiced saying names, favorite foods, and favorite pets).

Home Activity:
Find things that are similar in length or point out different objects and having your child say what is the shortest, tallest, largest, smallest.

Challenge:
Use a ruler to measure how long something is using inches and/or centimeters. Making sure to emphasize to line up the ruler at the bottom of the object.
