How many pumpkins tall are you?
Today we measured in pumpkins.
Yup, orange, round things, grow on a vine, used to make jack-o-lanterns.

non-standard measurement
(a first step in learning measurement before using standard measurement tools)
First the kidlets measured themselves on the pumpkin measuring chart.
Our very tall principal even got in on the measuring fun!
Each child recorded their pumpkin height.

Sometimes I put out a bunch of random objects from the classroom for the kids to measure.
Sometimes they explore the classroom to find things that they are curious to measure.
Usually we find a "big" project that we need to work together to measure. Today I was the big project! Sadly (not really!!) there are no photos to share of that measurement experience!
