Students took the 100's challenge seriously! Many students brought in sculptures, textiles and other manipulatives in groups of fives, tens and twenties to prove to everyone they had counted carefully.
After our hundreds collections were ready for display, clearly showing the amounts in respective groupings, ZERO THE HERO showed up to celebrate his 100th birthday! The kids asked him to also read one of our favorite 100s stories.
As promised, Mrs. K brought in 100 memories.
99 Cheerios + one chicken, 100 Legos and 100 straws take on a new form.
Zero the Hero freeze tag! If his cape touches you you have to freeze and count to one hundred. You may do so by skip counting if you wish. I wonder how many children decided to count by ones, or did they choose to get in the game faster by counting by 5s, 10s or twenties?
"Zero the Hero saves a place so all of the other numbers can stay in the place," is his mantra. Without him our base ten counting system would not exist. Never has being a zero been so important. However, can he really be a hero? "You're not really Zero the Hero, you are wearing work clothes under your cape!" exclaims Hilario. "AcCOUNTant by day..." responds our place value caped crusader.
