Quarter 4, Week 3

We Need:

• Clorox Wipes
• Kleenex
• Objects for our estimation jar (food, candy, erasers...anything) Every week I place items in the estimation jar. Students estimate and the closest wins a treasure from our treasure box. 

Thank you for recycling items and having your child bring them in! We can't wait for our flowers to bloom! : )
