Fish Estimation & Dr. You Know Who

       

Do you have an estimation station?

I recently started mine with this activity.

It is free in the preview file here.

I forgot to take a picture of our estimating

and the math activity we do after.

It is by Jen Ross from Teacher by the Beach.

I was unable to find the product on TpT to link to it.

Most kids guessed 100 or 120 fish in our

Estimation Station.

One child guessed 300 so he won the prize

for being the closest.

A package of Swedish Fish!

Afterwards, I wondered why I didn't buy a 

small carton of Goldfish crackers to give

as the prize?!

There were actually 500 fish in it, give or take.

Obviously we need some work at estimating!

I counted how many went in the scoop

and then just multiplied by number of scoops.

A few pics from our week.

I forgot to take pictures most days.

I honestly debated on whether to celebrate
Dr. Seuss this year.  I decided to believe
that Dr. Seuss himself would not be proud
of what happened and so I chose to celebrate
all that he contributed to literacy...
AND the kiddos LOVE it! 

Don't get me wrong, I understand it's the LAW,
but still......

I had so many kids gone this week. 
The crud has hit my class hard.
One little one missed this whole week.
She ended up with pneumonia. 
I don't like when they miss school, but
I especially don't like when they miss
these extra special weeks.


So my Five for Friday Friday Flashback
is all about Dr. Seuss activities!





Day 1

 The Cat in the Hat came back

for a visit and read us a story!

If Thing 1 and Thing 2 came to my house.....

This one cracks me up!

I would welcome them with a cake 

and let them play the wii.

LOVE this one too!

I would scream and move to a different house. 

I think I might get some blue hair.

Day 2

Tuesday was Grinch Green day.

We also ate green eggs and ham.

(Scrambled eggs with diced ham mixed in)

I have no idea why I didn't get pictures!

Day 3

Where did all those Thing 1 and 

Thing 2s come from?!?!

Hair inspired by

Day 4

Every year my 1st graders

have a Shape Party and

invite the preschool classes.

My kiddos take pictures of things 

around the school that are recognizable 

and we bind it into a class book for 

the preschool classes. We serve 

shape snacks, of course!

We read the Shape of Me and other

Stuff by Dr. Seuss as well as 

another shape book and of course

read the book we made them!

Little Cindy Lou Who reading!

Today was Crazy Hair/Cindy Lou Who hair day!

Day 5

Our last day of the celebration!

The Butter Battle!

Making Oobleck!

Crazy Hat Day!

Snack Time!

I have made a cake similar to this one...

once...that was it! It was very time

consuming for someone not used to 

cake decorating.

I made a cake similar to this most years.

Much easier but still time consuming!

This is what I did this year!

Pinterest inspired but I used

White Striped Shortbread Cookies

from Wal-Mart. Didn't take long at all!

They were a hit with the kiddos!

We began our ocean unit
