How Many Letters Are in Our Names?

After reading the book Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes, we had a discussion about the importance of appreciating the uniqueness of each other's names. In the story, we learned that Chrysanthemum (a girl mouse in the story) had 13 letters in her name! So, we wanted to see how many letters were in our names, which brought us to making a graph on the board. Then, we practiced making "I noticed" statements. We noticed that there were more children who had 6 letters in their name than any other number. After, the children transferred the data of the graph to paper, which is in your child's Friday folder this week.
