It is impressive to hear so many students singing all the words to all the verses all the way through. Bravo, bravo! And even the teachers learn a bit of French- by osmosis and with un petite help from Google translator.

Monday, September 29, 2014. The letter that was awaiting us as we came to math class. The book that inspired us. Eager to become "bean counters". Careful not to "spill the beans". Putting beans into groups of 1's and 10's. Using a place value chart. Finding 10 groups of 10 to make 100. Bowls helped us keep track. Let the trading begin. Ten 1's = one 10. Ten 10's = one 100. Ten 100's = one 1000. The numbers start to add up. Now we know: two bags of beans equals 5694! That's a lot of guests to feed!
