From SgWiki

zero(s) are not those suicide planes which got us on 9-eleven..but they are numbers! I don't understand why they have eleven numbers when my two hand of fingers can only count Upto ten(10)!

The Hindu (Indians) ..

Since the earliest form of the Hindu symbol was commonly used in inscriptions and manuscripts in order to mark a blank, it was called sunya, meaning "void" or "empty." This word passed over into the Arabic as sifr, meaning "vacant." This was transliterated in about 1200 into Latin with the sound but not the sense being kept, resulting in zephirum or zephyrum . Various progressive changes of these forms, including zeuero, zepiro, zero, cifra, and cifre, led to the development of our words "zemeaning of the word "cipher" today - referring either to the zero symbol or to any of ro" and "cipher." The double the digits - was not in the original Hindu. In early English and American schools the term "ciphering" referred to doing sums or other computations in arithmetic.

Songs/Poems:

"100th Day Song" (tune: I've been working on the railroad) We've been working in our classroom, For 100 days. We've been working in our classroom, Here in the first grade. Rising early in the morning, Bring our books and pencils, too. Every day we come to ____K2___K1____and_____Primary________ (school name) We learn something new. 100th day is here, come on give a cheer, 100th day is here, come on give a cheer, 100th day is here, Hooray, Hooray 100th day has come, come on -join the fun, 100th day is here, Hooray! 100 Animals I went to the zoo, And what did I see ? 100 animals , Looking at me . There were 10 tall giraffes, eating from trees, Ten silly monkeys, scratching their knees. Ten sleeping snakes, lying in the sun, Ten munching elephants, eating peanuts, one by one. Ten leaping tigers, performing in the shows, Ten pink flamingos, standing on their toes. Ten grouchy bears, trying to get some sleep. Ten happy hippos, in the water deep. Ten roaring lions, walking two by two, And ten galloping zebras, all living in the zoo.

100 Stars (from same book) I saw 100 stars last night Shining in the sky. I wondered as I watched them, How did they get so high? Twinkle bright, twinkle long Like Mom's good night kisses They stayed with me The whole night through AS I made 100 wishes <to come True..>

This poem was brought back from Reggio Emelia, Italy (a leader in early childhood) The child is made of one hundred. The child has a hundred languages a hundred hands a hundred thoughts a hundred ways of thinking of playing, of speaking. A hundred, always a hundred ways of listening of marveling of loving a hundred joys for singing and understanding a hundred worlds to discover a hundred worlds to invent a hundred worlds to dream. The child has a hundred languages (and a hundred hundred hundred more) but they steal ninety-nine the school and the culture separate the head from the body. They tell the child to think without hands to do without head to listen and not speak to understand without joy to love and marvel only at Easter and Christmas. They tell the child to discover the world already there and of the hundred they steal ninety-nine. They tell the child that work and play reality and fantasy science and imagination sky and earth reason and dream are things that do not belong together. And thus they tell the child that the hundred is not there. The child says: No way. The hundred is there!
