Valentine Projects

Today we learned what estimation means. We know now that to estimate means to make a guess. We practiced estimating by guessing how many conversation hearts we could hold in one hand. Then we reached in to grab a handful and counted how many we could actually hold.

Next we estimated how many conversation hearts would fit inside a heart on our paper. After we made our estimation, we filled the heart with candy to see how close our estimation was to the actual number that would fit.

The three year old class used liquid water color paint and brushes to make these beautiful heart doilies (this idea came from a blog called 4 Crazy Kings). To give our fingers more of a workout, the pre-k class used liquid water colors and eyedroppers to paint heart doilies. I love the rainbow look to these! We strung them with ribbon and hung them in our hallway.

Using the eyedroppers is great exercise for our fingers and will help us become good writers!
