Parents,
Each Friday, I do an "Estimation Jar" activity with my class. I put a certain number of little items in a jar, the kids each estimate how many items they think are in there, we count the items, and see who came the closest. Whoever comes the closest gets to choose a party that the entire class gets to enjoy on the following school day.
Today, Molly had the closest estimate! She estimated that there were 70 items in the jar. The actual number of items in the jar was 70. Whenever a student gets the estimation jar exactly correct, they get to choose two parties. The parties this student chose were:














Participation is optional.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!
