This activity has the students measure themselves and then average the mean of each measurement with the measurements of their group. They use these measurements to create a life size puppet/model of an "average" student their age. This lesson involves looking at physical proportion, measuring, and averaging mean. I also have extensions that make the assignment even more exciting and integrated!

Experience
I taught 2nd grade for two years, 5th grade for three years, 6th grade for 2 years, and homeschooling for a year.
Teaching style
I am always looking for ways to make learning an exploratory experience and have the child learn through creative, hands on lessons. I want students to be involved in their learning and doing that through multiple modalities for enjoyment and maximum learning/ remembrance. I want children to love learning in all areas.
