Mrs. Simpson’s Preschool classes are studying a unit about trees. They have collected several different tree parts. For a small group activity, the students measured sticks, acorns, buckeyes, and pieces of bark. They used rulers, math links, and linking cubes as measuring tools to see how long each tree part was.
