Helpful Hands for Measuring

About the Book

I wrote this book based on a very challenging fourth grade class that I taught during the 2006-2007 school year. I am both thankful and amazed at how God gave me a special way to teach them a unit on customary measurement which lasted about ten days. It was a year and a class to be remembered. The most memorable experience was teaching the children to measure using my hands, fingers, and other objects to keep the students engaged while learning. I taught, and they learned very well. At the end of the school year, my children showed lots of improvement and growth in their learning. They all were successful with measuring and other subjects as well. I was the happiest 4th grade teacher on this side of heaven. All thanks and praise be to God!!!
