Crazy 8s Club: Crayon Craze

Today the Crazy 8s Club used old crayons to sort and classify, estimate and count. We sorted by size and by shade, and grouped crayons into groups of five and then ten. With a partner, we grabbed handfuls of crayons and compared the number in each fist. We counted by 5s and 10s and we even talked about odd and even numbers, oddly enough! As you can see, these crayons were for much more than coloring!
