Igloo Measurement

This particular activity meets the benchmark, K.4.6. (Measure length with non-standard units; e.g.,paper clips, cubes) In this activity students cut out the mitten, snowball, and snowflake rulers and measure the 5 different igloos while recording their height on the recording sheet. I have placed black dots on the igloos to help students know where to start/end their measurement! Click here for the recording sheet.  Here are the igloos and rulers.  I tried to number the igloos, but for some reason they weren't saving correctly in PDF format. This means you will need to number them...just write 1-5 on the igloos. Enjoy!

My Door Display Obsession

Here is the finished igloo door that I had been dreaming of. I had really high hopes of using styrofoam and other 3-D materials, but that quickly went to the gutter when I saw the prices. I settled for paper and cotton. Still pretty cool, if I do say so. The first attempt resulted in the igloo melting to the floor after one night...ha, it has been standing for two successful days. : )
