44 and counting!

Families thank you for your response to our call for help! The children were so excited to count how many food items were donated today. 

We used what we know about numbers to easily count the items that came to school this morning. One child suggested we place the items into groups of ten for easy counting. We quickly calculated that 44 items were donated!

We are keeping track of how many items have been collected in total on a large recording sheet using numbers and ten frames to help us organize our thinking. 

The children helped us bring the food to our big display in the front entrance of the school. 

The children were also eager to make more posters to help share their cause...

...and we announced our project over the p.a. system so the entire school could be informed!
