Today, we got to do our January Estimate Jar. Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board.
We discussed our rules for counting objects. We decided that counting one item at a time would take us a long time so we did groups of 5 to speed things up and practiced counting by 5's today.
Then for the big moment...we all took a turn going around the class and sharing our estimate. We compared numbers and how far away our estimate was from the actual total we had of candies.
Our estimating skills our getting good because this month we had a 3 way TIE to decide our lucky winners!!! Ava, Carson and Reed all guessed exactly right, 60 candies! We even had someone guess 61 so they were SO close. They were all super kind to share the candies with everyone in class today and students have brought home their treats! The winners also got to take over the leftovers! Score!
Students are really excited to see what is going to fill our estimate jar next for February!
