Today students used adding machine tape to write numerals. It's amazing
how just a simple change in paper can make a difference in the
children's engagement in a task. They were encouraged to write by 1's
beginning with 1, as far as they could. Each child was given a three
foot strip of adding machine tape. When they filled the tape, they could
add another foot of tape... and another... and another. They are
bringing the strips home today. We stopped the class when we gave out
of tape but were thrilled when some of the students wrote past 200! Now
those are numbers to count on!
