One of my boys studied hard this week for a big Geography test. He brought his paper home today and he did really well - he got an A. When I reviewed his answers I had to chuckle. Here's what he had:
LABEL THE 7 CONTINENTS ON THE MAP:
1. Anarticka
2. Asai
3. Astralla
4. Afreka
5. North Amica
6. South Amica
7. Yurup
LABEL THE 4 OCEANS:
1. Artic
2. Adlantic
3. Indin
4. Pusific
Now that his Geography is in order, perhaps we should turn our attention to his Spelling.
It is so fun when they spell how the words sound to them. My favorite was when Perry II was 7 and wrote: "happy is the kid that falloith not the unGodly nor standth in the way of sinnor's nor sitith in the sit of the scorfol." They had memorized Psalm 1 in VBS and he came home and wrote it in his own words. They usually learn to spell soon enough :)
ReplyDeleteWell, at least he has a grasp of phonics!
ReplyDeleteWhen a niece (name omitted to protect the innocent) was going to my parents home for a few days she thought there should be a few rules written down. One of them was
Dot win n fus.
It took a bit of time to figure out Don't whine and fuss.
That's still a rule at their house.
