It allows them an opportunity to use reasoning skills to help them understand and replicate a structure.

Without measuring, we would not be able to build a fort that would maintain it’s shape. Once we are done, there will be plenty of time to play in the fort we have made for ourselves which will be a fun conclusion to this lesson.

They can count how many branches it takes to support the fort and it will help them identify the numbers while counting.

I totally agree and this is something that every child would enjoy and want to participate in every day!!!

I think that is a really great idea to implement. Nothing better then sleeping outside under some shade with fresh air. Being able to discuss their surroundings.
