We started it today. The images in the book are expected to be a variety of clip art, photos taken by student or classmate, images used with permission from internet or illustrations drawn by child, scanned and uploaded to document. Each page will have a sentence with some sort of measurement statement and measurement units should be matched with a measurement tool and vice versa. We are using Publisher to compile all of our information. My para helped students scan their illustrations and it wasn't long before the students were scanning on their own.
Before illustrating our words we brainstormed measurement words using an ABC chart when we read Measuring Penny. We looked at posters in our room for more words. We had to "stretch" some words in order to have at least one word for each letter of the alphabet. I gave the students a template to help them organize their page. I also gave each child a "half spiral" notebook for page planning. (I bought a bunch of spiral notebooks for a nickel one year...I found a place to get them cut in half. Make for nice little notebooks. And.....the students think they are FUN! :) )
