Estimation, writing, shape attributes, and trees!

Our weekly "Shine and Share" person of the week gets to fill our class estimation jar with something from home and bring it back to school! All of our friends make an estimation or our "best guess" of the number of items in the jar without counting! After everyone has made an estimate, we all count the real objects and discover whose estimate was the closest!

This week Holly filled our estimation jar with marshmallows!

 We have also been hard at work on our sentence writing! Our sight words the past three weeks have been: 

• I 
• like
• the

When we put them together we can DEFINITELY build a sentence that makes sense! I can't believe how many spaces and periods I already spy in our writing!

The past two days we have been talking about the attributes or descriptions of the following shapes: 

• circle
• triangle
• square
• rectangle
• hexagon

After a very fun "shape mystery game," we created shape collages from magazines!

We have also been learning about the parts of a tree in science! Yesterday we labeled several of the parts in our tree journal!

See you tomorrow for my favorite day of the week!
Love,
Ms. Conlee
