Baby Ballots are Being Cast

At the time of our anatomy scan of our daughter (December 2012), I was eager to find out the gender and I wanted to make the guessing fun. My group of students that year were very excited and I was constantly asked questions about the baby...the most frequent being "boy or girl?"

I had them join in the guessing fun and majority guessed boy...


We had a girl...

This time around was no different. While my students are not as curious this year, they are eager to know the gender. 

This year's results. We'll know soon who was correct!


I also used this super cute activity from TeachersPayTeachers.


I really wish I had been able to use this with our first. It will make a wonderful treasure for the baby box.

Here are some of the overall guess results from the activity. 

Hair color: 9 blonde, 3 black, 2 brown
Eye color: 12 blue, 2 green
Average baby size: ~5 lbs and 20 in or 10 lbs and 20 in
Most guessed due dates: June 14th or July 31st (I'm due July 12th...eek!)

They also came up with some cute names such as Karly Linn and Rosie Blossom for a girl and Brock Dane and Jack Ross for a boy. 

While we're keeping the name a surprise until birth, it's so much fun getting suggestions.

  1. Ooooh, can't wait to find out. And what a cool game. I'm thinking boy but although I thought I was good at predicting, I was wrong recently about one I was so sure about!!

  2. I'm thinking girl too, like the majority of your class it looks like!
