Visitor Count Palindrome!

This week we noticed that the Visitor Count number was a palindrome!

pal • in• drome (noun)
a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward, e.g., madam or nurses run.








Do you see any palindromes in your life?

  1. Dear class,

    I discovered a palindrome:

    Never odd or even.

    That palindrome is so cool! I have a sister and her name is Hannah which is a palindrome.

  3. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I think that the palindrome Never odd or even is a unique one because you have to really think about it. How did you come up with that one? I realized that Hannah's name is a palindrome! Here are some other palindromes: Bob, race car, dad, and mom.

    Can you think of any more?


    Warmly,
    Gr♥ce

  4. @ Miriam,

    Thanks for sharing about your sister

    H A N N A H!

    Did she know her name was a palindrome before you explained it to her?

    @ Grace,

    Great work with the palindromes!

  5. What a great post! I've never thought of a number as a palindrome before. I usually think about words instead. I really like palindromes because my first name is one: Aviva.

    Hope you're able to "collect" a few more palindromes here!

  6. I am terrible at inventing them, but I am a big admirer of palindromes. Ask for these books by Jon Agee at your library:
    Sit on a Potato Pan, Otis!
    So Many Dynamos!
    Go Hang a Salami, I'm a Lasagna Hog!

  8. Dear Mrs Yollis,

    Wow you really got me thinking.
    Mind you I am pleased to see so many comments thinking about palindrome.
    However I can only think of one at the moment and it is rotator.
    Hope you like this one Mrs Yollis.

    Will have to work on more for you.
    Great post!

  12. Mrs. Yollis,

    This is a great blog post! What a wonderful way to find new palindromes with your students.

    My husband's cellphone number (without the area code) is a palindrome: 306-1603.

    His parents live in Alaska and said there is a place called "Kanakanak" that is a palindrome.

  13. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I have known that my name is a palindrome since kindergarten! That's when my wonderful teacher, Mrs. Rollins, taught the class about palindromes and told me that my name is one.

    Here is a palindrome sentence with my name in it:

    Did Hannah see bees? Hannah did.

    Sincerely,
    Hannah★

  14. Hello, Grade 3's!

    You sound like a class who would really enjoy reading, Punished by David Lubar. My class loved it! The author has lots of fun with words in this book. You'll find puns, palindromes, anagrams, etc. Check it out, if you haven't already done so.

    Have a great school year!

  15. Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I noticed there is an extensive amount of palindromes in the world. I found a very long one. Anne, I vote more cars race Rome to Vienna. There are more short ones like Bob, God dog, mom, and multiple. I thought of this one. Do geese see God? I saw some birds outside and I thought of geese. Then I thought about the palindrome post and that I should think of a palindrome. So, I thought of that. I loved your Was it a car or cat I saw?. How did you think of that one? I just thought of another one! :) Tar rat.

    Bye,
    Ryan
