About This Lesson
I used this as part of a Teddy Bears Picnic day with a mixed class of kindergaten/1st graders. Each child had bought in a teddy bear. I led an input measuring using standard measures i.e. cm. Activity: Using the handout; children measure their teddy first; and then go around the class measuring and recording other children's teddy bears. Extention task: measuring and recording other aspects of a teddy e.g. nose; ears; arms etc. Wrap up: Discuss the tallest and shortest teddy bears and fill in the final 2 sentences as a class.
