How Many Letters Are In Your Name?

We read the book Chrysanthemum, by Kevin Henkes this week.  In this book we learned that "Chrysanthemum's name was spelled with thirteen letters. That is exactly half as many letters as there are in the entire alphabet."  This got us thinking about our names.  We wandered how many letters were in our names.  We also made predictions on who we thought would have the most letters and who would have the least letters in their names.  This is how we found out...

We discovered that Ian had the least letters in his name and Kynidee had the most letters in her name.  We also discovered that most of the friends in our class have 6 letters in their names.
