Noticing the number of school days today, I asked, “What other number would have three of the same numerals?” One kindergartner volunteered, “Two, two, two,” and then read it correctly, “Two hundred twenty two!” Many more examples followed… 666, 999, 555, and 888. Then someone wanted to do “billions!” I gave a little support as the class read “8,888,888,888!” Big numbers are really fun to read.
There is something about numbers that repeat like that. They are even more satisfying – and fun – than simple round numbers like 200.
Just wanted to let you know that we are out here reading, even when we aren’t commenting. Thanks for keeping us up to date with kindergarten
