Early Literacy

Recently Tai and some of his classmates have taken an interest in writing letters and spelling words.  The children have been approaching the teachers for help spelling words that are of particular interest to them.  The teacher writes the word on a scrap of paper for the child to then copy in their own hand.

Apparently the teachers really are leaving it to the children to decide which words they would like to practice writing because yesterday Tai came home with a piece of paper that simply said:

AUSTRALOPITHECUS
HOT WHEELS

And did you notice that he put austrolopithicus SIDE WAYS?? The teacher had it written at the top of a vertical piece of paper, and by himself, Tai figured out the only way he was going to fit it all on one line, was to turn the page horizontal? He's brilliant.
