Having the children measure the sunflower stalk is such a great idea and getting the children outdoors and in nature is even better. What a fun activity!

The most memorable for the children would probably be the sunflower. That was an awesome project that truly emphasized measurement.

I feel yard sticks are a forgotten item now a day. What fun experiment you did with the sunflower seed.

A great reminder to keep these ideas in the classroom consistantly

Hello,
I agree with your comments. Children are so curious about everything around them and like little sponges. I have heard about children learning the most of what will shape them later is what they learn between 1 and 5. I think they children should be introduced to measuring as long as it is fun and engaging like the sunflower example from the blog.
