K/1, 1/2 and 2/3 have been reading non-fiction materials about Valentine’s Day. In the book Valentines Day by Trudi Strain Trueit, we learned that some people celebrate Valentine’s Day by guessing how many candy hearts are in a jar. So, for the next week students K-5 will hone their skills of estimation to try and win a jar of candy hearts for their classroom. So far our estimates range from 72 to 1,000,000. How many candy hearts do you think are in our jar?
Update: Wednesday 2/13
Congratulations to Ms. Humphrey’s class. D guessed 510 and there were 507 heart shaped candies in the jar.
