F is for Fingers...you have TEN fingers?

(During the month of April we are participating in an A-Z challenge hosted by Arlee)

We'd love your support by 'like'-ing us on facebook. Just click here: 



Apparently, the vast majority of my students have ten fingers. That's strange because I always grew up with only eight!



As can be seen in the above picture, a normal pair of human hands has 8 fingers. A large number of my students were not aware of the word 'thumb' in English.

A popular sentence they liked to write was: "I have ten fingers."

After introducing their thumbs to them with some laughter, they now write: "I have eight fingers and two thumbs."



How is your A-Z challenge doing after the first week?
