misspellings

Last week I found three misspellings that made my heart skip a beat. They were:
fuze (fuzzy)
brethas (birthdays)
fisheing (fishing)

You might think that a high school math teacher wouldn't care about misspelled words, but I do care. I care a lot -- especially when the words are written by my five-year-old daughter.

Most of the time Emma acts like she doesn't care about reading. She'll ask me to read her a book, but the moment I ask her to help me read, she loses interest and wants to go play somewhere else. But the fact that she can independently try to sound out the words that she wants to write proves that she is actually learning something in Kindergarten. Honestly, I was starting to wonder.
