How Many Hippopatamaseseses Do You Have?

You may have heard of the gigantic turnip by now; it was humongous, it was large, it was ginormous!  and it took a whole farm load of animals to pull it out of the ground.  We have been counting those animals using 10-frames this week.  I handed out bags of different animals to a group today and then we proceeded to fill up our frames and check our count with each other.  We did pretty good with the geese, the pigs, and even the mouse.  But when I asked how many hippopatamuseseses they had, all I got for answers were giggles and guffaws.  You might want to check for large grey animals at home.
