2M's Blog of all that's happening in our classroom.
This blog was started by the Gems of 2008. We, the 2011 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation.
You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'.
Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.
On Tuesday we hadZERO THE HERO visit our classroom.
WHY?
Because it was DAY 10 of the school year!
ZERO THE HERO visited because we are counting up to the100thday of school. He's going to help us count in tens, visiting us every'10' days until we reach the'100th' day, when we'll have a big celebration.
ZERO is going to help us understand place value and the important role'zero'has in a number.
This was ZERO THE HERO's first visit, so he told us a little about himself, not by speaking but through strange looking designs called 'qr codes'. We needed MRs M's iphone to scan and read the codes. One of the codes had alink to ZERO THE HERO's favourite video -' ZERO, MY HERO'.
When ZEROvisits, we have special activities that help us count in tens.
