New Math Unit

A Vegetable Garden

How big is our classroom garden?

As most of you know we will be starting a new unit in math called Measurement. We already had practice on estimation earlier on in the school year, so my first question to you would be: 
Can you ESTIMATE  how big our classroom garden is? (your estimation should be in either cm, dm, m or Km). 
When we are in class together we will figure out the actual measurement of our garden in class tomorrow as an introduction to our new unit.
