Read together
Once upon a time, in a magical land of measurements, there lived a pound, a quart, a ton, and a yard. They all lived together in harmony and helped each other out with their jobs.
One day, they were asked to help build a new castle for the king. The pound measured out the ingredients for the concrete, the quart mixed the water, the ton carried the heavy blocks, and the yard ensured everything was the correct length.
Together, they worked hard and created a beautiful and strong castle that lasted for many years. The end.
Talk about it
Reflection
- What did each measurement do to help build the castle?
- How did they work together?
- Do you think it would be possible for the castle to be built without their cooperation and teamwork?
- What other things do you think the measurements could help with in their magical land?
