Esti-mysteries!

 Hello! Happy Tuesday!

In Math, we solved two esti-mysteries by working together as a class. What is an esti-mystery? It is a picture - usually of small objects in jar - and a series of clues that guides you towards estimating the answer. Following and deciphering the clues helps us review and apply Math vocabulary and concepts in an interactive way.

Here is a look at one of the ones we completed in class today:

Please ask me to guide you through the steps to see if you arrive at the answer!

Mme Careen also ready us another story today, We're All Friends Here.

This story lead of to a discussion about backpacks, and how, each day, we are all walking around with different things in our backpacks. Some days our bags feel comfortable. Other days they are heavier than we're used to. 

We will all have great days, ok days and hard days. On hard days, it's ok to ask for help. On good days, we can extend a helping hand to others. Every day, we are responsible for showing kindness and compassion to others, because we don't ever truly know what the people around us are carrying.

Smiles, kind words and helping hands are always light and do not take up any backpack room at all. 💚
