I found this picture while sorting through our photos on the computer. It was taken for one of Abby's math homework assignments when she was in preschool about 6 months ago.

Math homework? For 3 year olds?!

Yep, Abby has had some great teachers and these simple home assignments were meant to involve the parents and provide an extra spark to interest the kids in whatever topic is being taught.

This particular assignment was to use a ruler to measure a group of things from home and then identify the longest and shortest items.

Abby chose to examine our family's shoe sizes and she proved to know how rulers worked quite well. I thought she had a really cute idea. To prove accuracy in her homework responses, I helped Abby take a picture and attach it to her submission.

She received a special recognition from the teachers for an assignment well done. :)
