10/01 - How Big is a Million?

This week we read a book called How Big is a Million?  Big numbers like million, billion, and trillion are exciting, but sometimes it's hard to understand what that really means.  The book gave us examples like if a million children climbed on each other's shoulders, they would reach higher in the sky than airplanes can fly.  Also, if a billion of them made a tower, it would reach past the moon.

Each of us then made a picture about what we would do with a million dollars.  There was a wide variety of ideas, everything from buying money, fancy cars, horses, and more siblings!
