Fingers and Toes

It's not always easy to tell why you would count by 10, or 5, or 2. So we started at almost square one: fingers and toes.

This involved me standing barefoot during math. One kid counted my toes while another kid counted my feet. Eew.

And I had a moment thinking, "wtf do I do all day..."

That didn't last long because we had to hold hands and count.

  1. Brave Bunny is confused as to how this very sophisticated and erudite class that can carry out an inventory of classroom materials using some highly complex and unfathomable methods now is troubled by the accurate counting of feet and toes. Did the class suddenly dumb down as perhaps the entire Republican party had done for a generation? Brave Bunny thinks not. Rather it is a brilliant and probably effective ploy by the students to claim the need of something so basic that all will be able to coast to the finish line of the school year without spending any more effort.
