SMART Room: Stringing beads to make turkey feathers...

Math: Estimating
New Concept:  Yesterday we had so much fun measuring things in our class room that I want to show you something that mathematicians do. They estimate! When you  estimate, you make a smart guess. I have this yarn and I want to make some estimations. I estimate that this yarn will be longer than my foot. Now I can check it.   Was my estimate right? I estimate that this yarn will be longer than my school bag.  Was my estimate right? It is okay to not always be right. I estimate that this yarn will be shorter than our big book. (I will continue to estimate and use the language as I measure other items in the classroom). One thing that I need to remember is to use my tools correctly. Remember how we had to have John and Bob’s feet lined up?  We need to line up the yarn with the edge of the item I want to measure. 
Whole Group Explore: Today you will get to estimate and measure just like yesterday. Now, when I measure with the string will I want the string to be loosey goosey like a jump rope or should I pull it so it looks straight against the object? 
Student Application: Students will practice tracing and writing 8, 9, 10  
Student’s will color the objects that are shorter.  
Students will draw an acorn that is shorter.
