We were so excited to get to do our Estimate Jar for February to wrap up our month! And learning all about a leap year too!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many candy necklaces 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.
Leah was our lucky winner!!! She was only 1 away from the 23 treats we had in total! She 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)! Leah also got to take home the leftovers! Score!
We were brainstorming what our March Estimate Jar item may be. We will soon get to find out!
