Digital Photography and Measuring with First Grade

First graders embarked on a measuring adventure using digital cameras to record their findings. Students were grouped and given objects to measure with a nonstandard measuring item (such as blocks). Then, they were given rulers to measure and record each measurement. Students took pictures of each object and inserted the pictures in Microsoft Word. Each student created one page with their measured object and labeled it with fun WordArt.
This project integrates class curriculum with technology while being creative and having fun!
