Today we had a special visitor
come to our
classroom - ZERO THE HERO!
WHY?
Because it was DAY...
We are counting up to the 100th day of school, so ZERO THE HERO came to help us understand place value and the important role 'zero' has in a number. He's going to help us count in tens, visiting us every '10' days until we reach the '100th' day and then we'll have a big celebration.
This was ZERO'S first visit so we watched his favourite video to learn a little more about why the number ZERO is a HERO.
Here it is for you to watch too.
When ZERO visits, we have special activities to do to help us count in tens.
Watch the slideshow to see what we did today.
We are really excited about ZERO visiting us again in another 10 days. Now there are only 90 days until DAY 100.
If you've counted up to DAY 100, we'd like to know what activities you did along the way. Did ZERO THE HERO visit you too?

Hi Mrs M,
The 2mgems blogger is great. We have spent lots of time on the blog sites just looking and learning. You asked for comments from parents and here's mine. We initially have found it difficult to locate this years information on the site. Is there any way to have the most current blog information for
2mgems 2009 segregated from the rest of the 2mgems information i.e. at the top of the screen or in more specific areas? If not, I'm sure the more we use the blog the easier it will get.
Thanks again for making learning fun!!!!
What a fantastic blog! I am really impressed. It looks like you are all doing some great maths at the moment.
We have just finished a film about Hansel and Gretel. Please visit and leave a comment.
I have added your blog to our links, and would really appreciate it if you did the same.
Thanks

I'm glad to see your back up and running on the blog again for another year. I love the zero the hero idea. It looks like so much fun. You've made a great start to 2009.
I have always loved "Zero to Hero". We use it here also. My daughter loved it, and I think it is one of the best ways to learn important math concepts around place value in a manner that helps kids remember and understand.
Hi class I found a tortoise in my back yard today. We took it to the creek so it would live.
