Every single morning, we take a look at the calendar and write the date. First, we find the day by counting up to it and using a number card to post it. Then, we go up and determine the day of the week. We determine the month and year. Then, we write the entire date, using the sentence "Today is .....", on the board. Lastly, we write the short-cut version of the date (3-18-2011). On Friday, we were so impressed. Tony asked to write the date. Just thinking that he would assist, we said "Sure"! Tony amazed all of us when he went ahead, following all of our steps, and wrote the ENTIRE date! Then, he wrote the short-cut date ALL BY HIMSELF! No assistance was given in determining the date, day of the week, month, or year. No assistance was given in writing the sentence. No assistance was given in spelling everything right!
I wish I would have gotten a picture of the final product, but I think I was too excited!
WAY TO GO TONY!
