Gallon Girl

In 2nd grade we are learning measurement.  The children are trying to memorize how many cups, pints, and quarts are in a gallon.  We have a gallon man poster hanging up in the room, however, I felt that the students still did not understand what a cup, pint, quart, and gallon really looked like.  Sure they've seen a gallon of milk, but I did not feel that all of the sizes sunk in.  So... for the past 4 weeks I've been collecting containers and here is the final project!!! All of my students loved it!  (:
