\u201dSorry, you are not tall enough for the rollercoaster!\u201d<\/p>\n
We decided to develop the children\u2019s interest in measurement in the block area. The children helped to attach a large tape measure to the wall! They then used different sized blocks to build their own tower and measure how tall it was. They used a pen to mark on a piece of tape how tall they could actually build their towers!<\/p>\n
\u201cMy tower is the biggest, it\u2019s away up here!\u201d<\/p>\n Some of the children wanted to estimate and point to where they thought they could build their tower to before it fell down!<\/p>\n \u201cYay look I got it that big, to that number!\u201d<\/p>\n Next the children decided to measure each other and mark on the tape to see who was the tallest!<\/p>\n \u201cYou are tallest but let\u2019s \u00a0see with your hair sticking up if you can be tallest!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dIf I put on my high heels on \u00a0I\u2019ll be tallest!
