Microsoft Word - Woodshop 101 Part 1 of 3

Activity

1. Once you feel they have the hang of reading a measuring tape
   write down five objects in your house and measure these items.
   PutanAbesidethefirstitemaBbythenextandsoon. Next,
   write down the measurements on the other side of the items
   listed, but mix up the order. Put a blank line in front for a place to
   put the correct letter. Make a race out of it to see how fast they
   can figure out what letter goes with which item.


2. Another activity is to get your kids to make a growth chart
   notebook. Using a measuring tape let them measure their feet,
   hands, arms, and legs and mark this in their growth chart
   notebook. Next, with your help, measure how tall each child is,
   and mark this in their notebook. Put the date beside the
   measurements and write in the next date you want to take another
   measurement. You might want to space it out enough so that the
   kids actually see results. (If your kids are like mine, you can
   probably take measurements every other day and see that they
   have grown!)
