After button week, we counted pockets every day. Our total for the week was 614. We have had 800 buttons donated to our contest. Keep them coming in until May. Thank you so much.
Each day we counted the buttons that each of us wore and used that many unifix cubes to show tens and ones. The students got to see how place value worked. On Friday, we regrouped the extra ones into tens, the extra tens into hundreds, and discovered that we had 10 hundreds! The final count was 1,064 buttons worn all week. Wow, that was exciting. We are also counting the donated buttons each day until the end of the year. We have a contest with Mrs. Day's class to see who collects the most by May. We are watching place value in action. We also graphed the buttons in a bull's eye graph and a venn diagram. We described the attributes of buttons and played a game called Bodacious Button. Next week, we will count pockets all week. Wear clothes with lots of pockets each day.
