If I went into a to a doctor's office, I would measure 5 feet 4 inches... However, is it possible that I could be over 6 feet tall???
Trace your foot on a piece of paper, cut out the silhouette, measure yourself using yarn and tape this to the wall... Then, see how many "feet" tall you are! I was over 6 feet tall!
This will be a fun activity for your students at the beginning of school and at the end of school. You can integrate multiple standards within this activity. You can include art, math, science and language arts within this one activity. Students can guess how tall them will be at the end of the year and calculate the difference. In addition, students can create a journal entry explaining their predictions and a second journal entry explaining the outcome.
Students will be amazed at how much they do grow over a year!
You ARE over six feet tall! Consider sharing a picture of your measurements! They're still up in the classroom! :-)
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to "trick" my future students! How cool will it be to see their smiling faces : )
