Dollar Words

We have been doing this new thing in our class called dollar words and it has become very popular. A dollar word is a word worth 100. Here is how you find what a word is worth. The letter A is worth 1 and the letter B is worth 2 points. C is 3 and so on. If your word is TOE then you would add up 20, 15 and 5. Then you would know that the word TOE is worth 40. So it is not a dollar word.
Our class is crazy about dollar words. We were just introduced to them 2 days ago and now we already have 2 posters with all different kinds of words on them that equal 100. HEre is a chart with all of the letters and their values.

A  B  C D E  F  G  H  I  J   K   L  M   N   O   P   Q   R   S   T   U  V   W   X  Y  Z
1  2  3  4  5  6   7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14  15  16  17 18 19 20  21 22  23 24 25 26

Dollar words can be tricky but you'll get the hang of it in know time. On my first day I got the hang of it quickly but I couldn't find any dollar words. Then the next day I found dollar words! Its that easy!
Are you up for this challenge?
