Counting to ten game is really fun.The hard part is you have to say your # just so, that nobody says it the same time you do.You can listen carefully for some sign that somebody is going to say the next #.
This was a hard game because every body wassaying the numbers all at the same time.I like this game because it is very challenging.
I think it is better that we wait for someone to speak instead of rushing that way I think we can go forther. I like the game because I think it is fun. I also think the game helpes us work together.
I think that you should always listen befeore you say the number.you shouldmake shure to here the number. Want makes it so herd that you don’t no when sombody is going to say a number.you should went a fue seconds before you say the number.
Dear Mr.Sklar
:Today at school was hard to count to ten cause we can’t plan for who to go first. We never knew when to go and all of us keep saying the numbers at once I think that we should pratice more often so we all could make it to ten.
Dear Mr.Sklar,
This is hard because we all have to work together. Also everyone is yelling numbers at the same time a lot. This game is very challenging.
Count to ten is my favorite game that we learned so far in Mr. Sklar’s class. The thing i like most about count to ten is that you can’t plan how its going to go you can’t give every body a number to say. But you can wait until nobody says anything then you could say the number your on to. Were not to ten yet but were very close.
i think if we all wait eventually somone will say the number and so n
Dear Mr.Sklar,
What I like about the game is that we all try to count to ten without two people at a time to say the same number because then we have to start all over again. What makes the game hard is we can’t all say the same number at the same time because then we have to start all over again countig from 1 to 10. If we would want to get from 1 – 10 we should listen to each other before saying a number.
I think we should wait for people so we can count to ten because then we could hear if people are going to say a number.
I think we should use the numbers that we got.
Dear Mr.Sklar:
Today the count to ten game was a little easier. Yesterday we only got to two, but today we counted to seven because we know the rules a little better. I bet tomorrow we’ll get to ten if we listen better to each other, and wait till somone says a number before speaking at the same time.

you should always listen closely before you say a number and also listen if someone said a number so you don’t mess up.What makes the game really hard to play is that you don’t know who will say the next number so two people can shout out the same number at the same time.i think everyone should stop before they sya a number a see if someone said it already so evryone shloud just slow down and stop rushing to say a number.

What I like about the game is that it is challenging.What makes it hard is that only one person can say a number and if more than one person can say a number and if more than one person says the same number we have to go back to one.I Think we should all pay more attension then we might get to ten.
I like this game because its hard and its hard because we cant plan who goes first. I think we should wait so we dont rush through.
I like the game ten. I like the game because it is hard and sometimes funny. The game is hard because when we say the same number at the same time we have to start all over.
I think a better way to play the numbers game is to wait till someone says the number and if no one starts saying it then you could say it and if you heard somone just say the number then you shouldn’t repeat it. The best way to succeed in the game is to have a good eye contact with everyone in the circle. Watch and listen!!!
I like this game because it’s a challenge for everyone. You must be careful when you are calling a number so you don’t mess up the game and have to start over.
I think that this game is hard because you don’t know what your classmates are going to say. I think if you really listen to your classmates and work together we can really get to ten.This game is FUN! because it is hard.You never know what’s going to happen next.
I would use our numbers for class in order. I would try next time to think first and say the word if no one else says it you should say it. I think it is a very challenging game and I enjoyed playing it with my friends.
Mr. Sklar I think that we have to be silent for a second and if no one says a number you can say it out loud. It makes it hard because one person can say one number at a time but if three or two people says it we have to start over again.
