Previous to day 8 we send home the numeral 8 with our students. Their homework is to create/decorate/use 8 of something on their numeral 8. Remember, we have been talking about numbers in a number and using 8 of something is a great way to get our students thinking that 8 can be ANYTHING. I actually had one year where I had a student bring 8 groups of 8 things on his numeral 8. The students were completely enchanted by 8 groups of 8 still representing the number 8. The students are able to do a gallery walk on this day and discover what eights they have seen. The students then record what they saw in their math journals and glue their own numeral 8 in their journals. Happy Day 8!
