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?
Please share a palindrome or two in the comment section!
Remember, look to see if your palindrome has already been mentioned!
When do you think the blog will hit 100,000?
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that we have a palindrome number on our visitor chart. 87,678 is a lot of visitors! I can figure out when you will reach 100,000 visitors. First I subtracted 87,678 from 100,000 to find out how many visitors you still need to reach your goal. The answer is 12,322. Since we know that you got 186 visitors in 1 day, we divided 12,322 by 186 and got approximately 66 days. We used a calculator to divide this big number. Then we looked on the calendar and counted out 66 days: 2 days in November, plus 31 days in December, plus 31 days in January, plus 2 days in February. That will mean that on Feb 2 your blog should have 100,000 visitors. Do you think we can check on Feb 2 and see if my calculation was correct?
The most important palindrone in my life is my sister Hannah. Other palindrones that I can think of are kayak and racecar.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteFrom reading, I know many palindromes. A few are:
Bob: "Did Anna peep?" Anna: "Did Bob?"
O gnats, tango!
Otto made Ned a motto.
Flee, elf!
Some names, such as Anna, Hannah, Bob, and Eve are palindromes as well! Does anyone have a palindrome name?

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing a post about palindromes! The reason why I am thanking you is because one of my favorite kinds of words are palindromes.

Here are a ton of palindromes:

P. S. I know much more palindromes than that! Mrs. Yollis, do you want me to bring in my list of palindromes? If you do, we can look at them backward!
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you hit such a big number. I think you will 100,000 in about a month. My visitor count is 3,547 visits. I have a long way to go before I will get anywhere close to 100,000.
In my family, I have a little sister named Hannah and Hannah is a palindrome.

Here are some example word palindromes:

• lion oil
• Dennis sinned
• Baby Bab
• A car, a man, a maraca

Hi Mrs Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI have a few palindromes:
a Toyota
mum
dad
These are what I thought of quickly after my homework last night :-(

Hello Mrs Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteI've always found palindromes, both numerical and alphabetical, interesting. I like your visitor numerical palindrome.
Did you know dates can be numerical palindromes?
In Australia, we write short dates differently to you. December 1 will be 1/12/2011 whereas you would write 12/1/2011. Because of our different way of writing dates, i.e. putting the day before the month, we have different date numerical palindromes. Here’s one form this year...
February 11, 2011 could have been written as...
11/02/2011
There are also sentence alphabetical palindromes...
A man, a plan, a canal -- Panama
There are strange ones...
Mr. Owl ate my metal worm.
Ones about maths...
Never odd or even.
and wise ones...
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
But with all these palindromes, both numerical and alphabetical, perhaps my favourite is a simple numerical one where we might both write the date the same way….
November 11, 2011 became … 11/11/11

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing a post on palindromes! The reason why I am thanking you is because one of my favorite kinds of words are palindromes. Since my favorite kinds of words are palindromes, I know a lot of them.
Here are some:
∆ Walmart tram law
∆ Was it Eliot's toilet I saw?
∆ Was it a cat I saw?
∆ Yo banana boy!
∆ Kikikikik
∆ Glennelg
I know a lot more than just those. If you want Mrs. Yollis, I can bring in a list of all different kinds of palindromes. If you do, we can only read them backward!
What is your favorite kind of palindrome?
Sincerely,
M♥a
Hi Mrs Yollis's class. Great discussion on palindromes. One of our local beach suburbs here in Adelaide is a palindrome - Glenelg.
