Hannah Beth came up to me one day and gave me this piece of paper and said that she was giving me some math problems. I was very impressed - Hannah Beth is in preschool and they have worked on writing numbers and counting, but have not done any math problems. I often do math problems orally with Hannah Beth to help her understand the concepts of addition and subtraction (for example, I'll ask her, "If you have 4 apples and I give you 3 more, how many do you have?") and she does quite well with that. She plays with my calculator and she knows how to add numbers together on it and press the equals sign, so that is the only way I can think of that she knew how to write them out!
This one may be hard to read...
... unless you read it from the bottom up! She gave this to me a couple of days ago and told me what it says - "Open it on Mother's Day"! I love how Hannah Beth sounds out and writes words. She can read simple words, and we've talked about one vowel and two vowel rules, sh, th, ch, and a few other things, but she still sounds things out really slowly. I think she could probably do a lot more with reading, but I haven't really pushed her (she still has a whole year of kindergarten ahead of her!). But when she is ready, I have a feeling that she'll really take off.

Good for you to not push her. It will all come when she is ready. She is a bright little thing. =)
