We were so excited to get to do our Estimate Jar for February to wrap up our month!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many Valentine's lollipops were 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 candy packages.
Olivia F was our lucky winner!!! She was just two off from the 24 treats we had in total! She knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in class and students brought home their treats! Olivia got to take home the leftovers! Score!
We are excited for what our March Estimate Jar item may be. We will soon get to find out!
