Spelling

Kendall (age 6 .... 1st grade) was given a new spelling list.  A more challenging list.  Harder words.  I mean hard.  They are kicking our butt :)

Here are his words ... and remember, he's only 6 (barely)
mail
stay
green
remember (I often times type this wrong ... rember - maybe I type too fast)
seat
keep
garden
plain
clay
idea
grandmother
mean
answered
chief
dream
serious

We have been making up ways to have him spell the words.  If we use the words in a sentence, he has to spell the word.

Last night it was just me and the boys for dinner.  We were reviewing his words for his pretest.  I asked the boys (John, Kerst and Kendall) to spell garden.

John replied  "f .... a ..... r ..... t ...... e ......d"

I think we need to get his ears checked.

Oh boy ... I am surrounded by boys.  Save me :)
