Everyone counts!

After reading the book Everyone Counts the 2nd graders spent the first few weeks of school filling a jar full of safe, achieving and caring behavior. We first estimated how many cubes we thought were in the jar by looking for groups of 10. Then several students worked together to count the total number of cubes we earned. The second graders counted groups of 10 and then made groups of 100. The total number of cubes equaled 245 cubes. We celebrated having a special snack. The students are now working on filling an even bigger jar!
