Joys of teaching

Joys of teaching early childhood education is that you get to see their inventive spelling. I love it. The students had homework where they had to think of math stories or objects to add up to 14. One example would be :
9 pinecones and 5 acorns on the forest floor. 

Here are some of the ones that were found in their work, all of them are typed exactly the way they did it:

Student 1 just moved from CA. You can tell. Every thing this student has a choice on choosing a subject or theme, it has to do with beaches. Below is an example of one of the math stories :) 

Student1
"I went to 1 beach then to 13 more beaches how many beaches in all?"

Student2
"I have 9 pentsals and a girl gave me 5 more pensal now haw mach pensals do i have?"

Student 3
"I have 8 shirtes and 6 pairs of shoes. how many peaces of clothing do i have?"

Student 4
"my sister has 14 candies :( and I have 0. How many candies do we have?" (yes the frowny face was there).

Student 5
"I wode like 2 glasis of milk and I wode like 12 lofs of bred. haw meney toogetr?"

Student 6
"i planted 9 onions and my dad planted 5 really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hot peppers, and we had 14 together"

And finally student 7, took me a minute to figure it out.
"6 strabeers and 8 blu beers"


I love it! :)
