Measuring Up!

One of the second grade standards is using rulers to measure inches and centimeters. First, we measured our ears, noses, heads, hands, feet, fingers. We used yarn to measure ourselves then recorded how long the yarn was in inches and centimeters.
We also used adding machine tape to measure our spine, legs and wingspan. We taped them together to make a skeleton. We used a yard stick to measure how long the tape was. Then we added all of the numbers together with a calculator to find out how long our bones are. It was a blast but our favorite part was making clothes for our skeletons because we decided that 'nobody likes a naked skeleton'.
