When I visited Brycen's classroom yesterday morning to check on how he was doing without his device, one of the associates was excited to share that Brycen did great participating in a group activity in kindergarten that morning. My understanding is the teacher would say a number (and letters too I think) and the kids would write them...Brycen on his dry erase board. We know that Brycen can write almost all of his ABC's legibly, not only in capitals but some in lower case as well, but we had yet to witness what he could do with numbers. We recently programmed a section on his device for counting and had included buttons through 10 so he could "voice" how many of something when he is counting on his worksheets. We had never really worked at home on much above 10, nor had we worked on writing the numbers.
So of course we had to practice at home so we could share all of it with you! The first time I practiced with him, I just held up a card with the number and he copied it. Then when Mike was home last night (prior to Brycen getting sick today so he was still on top of his game!), I brought out his binder with the numbers 0-20 that I had printed and laminated on Monday night. Before I could even show him one, he started writing 0...then 1...then 2...all on his own. He kept going with just prompts from us "What is next?" and pointing to other parts of the paper for him to write on so he wasn't overlapping so much. He made it ALL THE WAY to 14 before he was stumped! So, then I showed him each picture individually from 15-20 and he copied the rest!

Can you decipher this?! |

Isn't that 8 cute?! |

All over the place but you can see 13 in the middle, then 14 and 15 and 17 pretty clearly on the right side. The 16 and 18 were overlapping the 13, but 19 is in the middle on the bottom and 20 is on the top left.
