Egg-stra, Egg-stra! Ready for Spring Break?

Has Spring Fever set in yet? Um, yeah, Rebecca and I are feeling full force. And it's not just us, but the littles too! So, with one day left before break, we decided we needed social time a fun buddy activity to reinforce nonstandard measurement! 

With loads of plastic eggs, some big and some small, we combined classes and paired up our kiddos then set them off to measure different surfaces and objects. Brilliant!

How tall is my buddy?


"Can we measure you Mrs. Walker?" Sure!

Super brave kiddos wanting to measure the room!

"The book is only 2 eggs!"

Miss Kunz being oh so brave!
