A little over 2 weeks ago we started the estimation jar. The estimation jar will go home with a different child each week. We will go in reverse abc order. When the estimation jar comes to your house please fill it with something that can be shared with the class. It can be candy, treats, erasers, goldfish etc. Do not put over 120 items in the jar or less than 17 items. Please do not let your child count the items. You will have to count, so they can still participate in class. The estimation jar will normally go home on Friday. Please send it back on Monday. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays we will observe the estimation jar. On Thursdays, we will write our estimates in our mystery math journals and justify our guesses. We will count the items in the jar and order and compare our estimates on Fridays. This week our jar is coming home today because I was not here on Friday.

| Here is our winner from the first week. She got to share her winnings with the class and take the rest home to her family. |
Our Fast Fact test this week will cover the 2 facts only. We take our test on Friday. 2 + 10 will be the highest fact we will cover. Please make sure to study with your child every night. Your child will have a note in their agenda if they did not pass their 0s and 1s test. They will get to retake this test on Wednesday.
They earned their 10th compliment today!!!! We will be having our first compliment party of the year on Friday. They will get to end their day with a movie and popcorn. If you have a G rated movie we can borrow, please send me an email with the title of the movie. They will get to vote on which movie they want to watch. I will send you an email back if they picked your movie.
Thank you so much for all you do. I have an amazing class, and I enjoy each day I get to spend with them.
