Okay, ONE cute story

When I observed Cameron's classroom earlier this week, I watched his teacher introduce him to bank work (a type of math work). She showed him a bead, told him this was called "one unit" and placed it in his hand. "What does it feel like?" she asked. "Small," he replied. Next, she showed him ten beads strung together on a wire. "This is called a ten bar," she stated and again placed it in his hand. "Ooooh," Cameron said appreciatively. "It feels soooo ten-y!"

This math teacher finds this story so adorable. My 8th graders are never that cute!
