Measuring/Ordering Length and Height

We had lots of fun in math class lately. In our measurement unit we have been checking out how long/ tall and short things are compared to each other.

Kindergarten are learning about 3D shapes. Here is a great link for learning their names and where we find the shapes in our environment. We are also practicing using describing words to talk about the shapes,their sides and faces, and how they move: curved, flat, straight, point, corners, smooth, solid, slide, roll, topple....
