Zero the Hero

     As most of you have probably heard, on every 10th day of school we get a visitor- Zero the Hero! He is always in a hurry so he drops off a note for us and even leaves us a treat. Most times, he talks about how 0 is his favourite number and helps us to count by 10's. He also teaches us about place value (ones house, tens house, and hundreds house). Today was our 50th day of school so he dropped off a note telling us that we needed to get two dice and create our own addition sentences. He also left us a treat that was shaped like a zero. Today our treat was festive coloured mini eggs! In previous visits, he has left us cookies, chocolates, and other candies all shaped like the number zero. It is safe to say that the kids LOVE when Zero the Hero stops by and they count down the days until he comes again!

Our new sight words this week are:
put
be
has
us 
him


Here are some of us doing our math activity Zero the Hero wanted us to do.
