Standard measurement is difficult for firsties!! They understand nonstandard but they just have a bad time with standard. So I decided that I was going to make it real life! So they were construction workers! Did they have a blast!!
First, we started our day off reading two books about construction and did a Venn diagram! We read Pete the Cat Construction Destruction and a book that I wrote!
We talked about nonfiction and fiction! They loved it!
Then we constructed our opinion writing pieces about being a construction worker.
The afternoon is when they really had a blast. They built structures and measured them. They did place value and time centers with the construction theme!
It was just an awesome day all around! Below are more pictures from our day!
