We've been working on teaching the kiddos how to put words in ABC order. I hated this as a kid, especially when it came to alphabetizing based on the second or third letter of the word. It just felt so tedious. Anyway, the worksheet that I had to help them with involved alphabetizing by third letter. Mr. JB is a super clever kid. He figured out a shortcut to the worksheet. For the "M" section of the worksheet, he would first write:

mi
mi
mi
mi
mi

Then, he would fill in the rest of the word. That's pretty good thinking! I was pretty impressed.
