What We Are Learning
Measuring
We will be playing several games and using different ways to "measure" objects in our classroom so that children understand the concept of measurements. We have already started this by measuring and weighing the 2 different pumpkins in our classrooms. We also have a new game that lets the children mix and match "people" so that they can measure them and see how tall they are.

Leap Frog Measure
Learning Outcomes: Measurement, Gross Motor
Pretend to be frogs! How far can you leap? Using a tape measure, stand next to the zero. Estimate how far you can jump and then take a big leap. Place a rock next to the number where you land. Read the measurement and then take another leap! Which "frog" can jump the farthest?
Why It's Important
Your child observes how you use measurement every day as you prepare food, drive a car, read a schedule, etc. You can help your child develop an understanding of measurement by providing lots of playful opportunities to use the vocabulary and tools of measurement.
Not Ready Yet
Instead of reading the numbers on a tape measure, use a sticky note to show where each person landed. Talk about who had the longest jump and who had the shortest jump.
Need a Challenge
Record the jump measures on a piece of paper. Each person can jump three times to find the “best out of 3.”
