Celebrating our 100th Day of  School  by Counting to One Million!

Hello Parents.

As part of our 100th-day celebration, in Second-Grade Math, we challenged ourselves to count to one million. We did it in 40 minutes! (of course we counted by 100s). Each of us wrote the number "100" in every space on a "hundreds" grid (meaning that each of us "counted" to 10,000 for each grid done!)  Then, we worked 'til together we'd made 100 of those "ten-thousand" grids. Finally, 100 ten-thousands  (or ten thousand 100s) brought us to one million. AJ Beverly glued on our  final grid, and we cheered to have counted, finally, to 1,000,000.

We also watched an amazing video called "The powers of 10" Check it out with your child this weekend!

Take care, everyone.

Mr. Bolger
