Spelling

Posted in spelling

My husband is so awesome!

I caught him teaching the little ones how to spell using the alphabet.

(Okay, I do realize that all words are spelled from the alphabet. )

Here is what he was doing:

a = ay

b = bee, be

c = see

d = Dee

g = gee

i = eye, I

j = Jay

k = Kay

o = oh

p = pea, pee

r = are

t = tea, tee

u = you

y = why

Isn't that awesome?!?

I tell you, my husband is not only awesome, he is cute too!

Make a List Book

Posted in spelling

The younger kids are turning all of those lists into books this week.

We made books out of construction paper, wrote "Sophia's List Book"

(or whichever child's name) then used each page for a different list.

For example:

page #1 - school supplies list

page #2 - grocery list

page #3 - things I want to do this year list

The possibilities are endless.

Why not make a list book with your kids today?

They are fun and educational.

Lists are a great way to teach spelling!

Have fun!

~Candy~

Using Things to an Advantage

Posted in spelling

Jaimie turned 19 on Monday!!

We had a big pizza party.

I must have made 20 pizzas!

We had a great time.

People showed  up with bags and bags

of candy for the kids. Ughh!!!!!

Well I thought I could use the candy to

my advantage.

Last night, we had a family spelling bee.

Even my two graduated sons participated.

It was fun trying to come up with words too

difficult for them. ; )

Whoever spelled a word correctly received

a piece of candy.

Wow, I never had such eager spellers!!!

About Me
