Will's Super Letters

Will is doing so well at kindergarten!  He loves to learn new things and be with his friends.  He is so much more talkative, so I get more detailed reports than I can usually get from Christopher.  He doesn't usually tell me a lot right after school, but over the course of a few days, he starts telling stories.  Apparently, the first week of school Will took too long doing his business in the bathroom when his class had a potty break at the bathroom down the hall.  He got left in the bathroom and had to find his way back.  He ended up at the kindergarten classroom that it is adjacent to his through a small bathroom, and he found his way back.  He seemed to think it was pretty exciting!

In the few weeks before school started, Will taught himself a bunch of math facts.  He learned the doubles (1+1, 2+2, 3+3, etc.) and then figured out that if he knew that 4+4=8, then he knew 4+5=9.  We were impressed!  He also loves learning about animals.  He is obsessed!  He also likes to come up with imaginary animals and then quiz us:  "Mom, tell me five ways that burpy slurpy carankulas interact with their habitat."  Not an easy pop quiz!

Will also loves superheroes.  So it shouldn't be a big shock that he's invented "super letters."  It started with the L's in his name, but it has expanded to other letters as well.  After this paper, I convinced him to save super letters for his artwork and not do them on his homework.  :)
