Fact families on a whiteboard
I just found this picture that I took of the fact families my 4-year old wrote on the whiteboard - totally on her own. There was a time she loved writing fact families like this every day. Being able to choose different color markers plus it being on the whiteboard seemed to be the main motivating factors, because she didn't want to write them on blank paper... Kids are funny. Then again, it allows us teachers to use colorful markers as a "motivational tool" : ) Anyway, I was really happy that she had grasped the concept.
