We were so excited to get to do our Estimate Jar from January for our last day of January! Christopher, the Elf, happened to leave us the treats and were perfect for our winter themed activities in January.
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many chocolate snowmen are in the jar.
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 2 to speed things up and practiced our counting by 2'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 the snowmen.
Emerson was our lucky winner!!! He was only 1 away from the 36 treats we had in total! He knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in class and students may have brought home their treats (if they didn't eat them out of their lunch today)! Emerson also got to take over the leftovers! Score!
