I was so excited about this grant, it gave me an opportunity to plan a fun engaging activity for teaching measurement. Students generally struggle with measurement, a lot of it is due to not having exposure to hands on experiences. My students were able to do something I call the Measurement Marathon, where they race around the campus doing different measurement activities. The grant allowed me to buy scales, and other measurement tools allowing the students the hands on experience.

The grant process was very easy. My only wish is that the check did not have my campus name on it, becuase of this I was only allowed to purchase items from our school district vendors and their approved items. I would have been able to get things for a cheaper price and was not able to get all of the items I needed due to this hiccup.
