Re: HIT: What to count in jar for contest?

[Anna Russell <Alibrarian@AOL.COM>]

I just read the hit . What fantastic ideas.  I was thinking of reading the
book the Candy Corn Contest by Patricia Reilly Giff and Betcha (its a Math
Smart book sorry I think the author is Murray).  I will have a jar of candy
corn for the students to guess how many. Betcha is a book on estimation. The
Candy Corn Contest takes place before Thanksgiving. The teacher has a contest
to guess the number of candy corn in the jar.

I also liked the sayings listed.  I sometimes put treats in the teachers
boxes to motivate them to schedule or bring their classes to the library.  I
used Tootsie Pops and labeled them "Pop by the Library".

Thanks for the wonderful ideas.
