Measurement Trees

Our class has been reading and learning about different holidays that happen in December and we have made a few projects to go along with them. We made hand print menorahs when we learned about Hannukah, poinsettias when we learned about Las Posadas, and today we made Christmas trees using rulers to measure the parts of our trees during math. Last week we made the backgrounds for our trees using crayon resist (drawing snowflakes with white crayon on white paper then watching them appear when we painted over them with blue watercolor paint) and today we used our new skills using rulers to measure strips of green paper to the nearest inch for our tree branches (our recent math unit had a focus on learning to measure). We finished the project by decorating our trees to make them unique! These will go home tomorrow.
