The Kindergarten lesson will consist of Introducing the children to measurements telling the children to think about attributes on an object inside the classroom and exploring length. The class for that day will be about measurement frames. During the morning we will read a book then we will discuss what is the length, and the weight of the objects we see in the pictures of the book. The children will be asked to choose two things and compare their length which is longer or which is shorter?. Why that make you think that about that object. We will continue learning about our measurements and will be followed by the use of the iPod so the children can play a game called measurement center frame and each of them will be able to identify which of the objects in the game are longer, shorter, taller ,heavier lighter, than for about fifteen minutes then they will choose a partner so both of them can discuss about the objects that they were playing before on their iPods the children will be provided with a measuring tape so they can be able to measure the things around the classroom using a paper and a pencil the children will be asked to draw a picture of an object that is longer, shorter, taller, and to write which of the objects that they choose to measure are heavier or lighter than others. I will be around assisting the children who need help and make sure they are on task and they understood their assignment. After 15 or 20 minutes we will meet at the rug and see what kind of objects each partner measured and if they can tell which are the attributes of that object and how many they were able to draw.

The hands on component of actually measuring objects is a great example of active learning at this age.
