Measuring WithOUT a Ruler!

Today we measured many different objects in the classroom. Instead of using a standard unit of measure, like a ruler, we used parts of our body. Take a look at the kids using their digits, arm span, foot, etc. We had a great time and learned a lot about the length of objects!

First Grade Computer Programers?!
