We had Hannah's Kindergarten assessment today. I knew she'd do well with the letters and sounds and phonics. We've worked hard on those.
In fact, she even took a phonics/reading enrichment class this summer. She loved it. She is good at writing her name and knows her phone number and her birthday. She can count quite well. (She counted up to 50, but did 30s for both the 30s and 40s...)
But I have been saying to Darwin this summer that we need to work with her on simple addition and subtraction. But we just had not. And yet, her teacher quizzed her on both--and she answered both correctly. She used some manipulatives and figured it out all by herself. Oh! And they were story problems and she knew what to do.
Color me impressed.
She has her dad's math brain, aparantly. Yay for that.

Yay for Hannah! But we already knew she was a smart girl. As for the counting, I helped test kids on that at the end of last year and some of them still didn't do as well as she did.
I thought Darwin would have already taught her calculus with cheerios by now!
That is always nice when they have picked up more than you intentionally taught them. Yeah Hannah!
Grandpa Rehart would be very happy. He Loved Math!!, Grandma R:)
