On Monday J came home from school and announced that he could get a free homework pass if he could come up with a "dollar word". So far only one person in the class had turned one in: "Kingtut".
The formula for the words is as follows:
A-F = $.01
G-M= $.05
N-S = $.10
T-Z = $.25
You add each letter up. It has to equal $1. No more, mo less.
Last night B came u with grizzly and I came up with solution. J turned in "grizzly" today and came home with a free homework pass for the night.
I guess they will be working on these "dollar words" for the next week or so. He can come up with as many as he can find in that time.
Go ahead....give it a try. It's a lot harder than you'd think. And kudos to his teacher, Mrs A. She is teaching spelling, math and problem solving skills and meanwhile, the kids all think it's a game. Brilliant!
