Mastering Measurement Skills

Help me give my students new tape measures. These Milwaukee 16' tapes are easier to read than many others. A given marking on the tape is easily distinguishable from the other "really small lines" nearby

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The classroom set of tape measures needs to be replaced after all of this time! It was super surprising that the wood shop's current set has been in service for some 9+ academic years. Newer ones will provide new and improved features that will make them more rewarding to use. Students will use these tape measures throughout our semester together. Accurate tape readings are essential in order complete the "keystone project". These tools will serve middle school students in a Title I school.

The wood shop has been a favorite class here among the many students (and their parents) throughout the years.

These new tape measures will help to make the learning process a more positive one, with nice and sturdy features to endure!
