My son and I have learned through (very hard) trial and (tearful) error that it’s important to read through ALL the spelling words on the list the first day we get them.\u00a0\u00a0It makes the homework that follows (as well as the Friday spelling test) a million times easier.<\/p>\n

And this way, we can figure out up front\u00a0if there is any confusion over word pronunciation and\/or definition.<\/p>\n

So today when we got home after dropping\u00a0the carpool kids off, and after my kids ate their\u00a0hefty after-school snack (and by hefty I mean a full meal.\u00a0 Hey!\u00a0 They’re hungry!!\u00a0\u00a0Why not just feed them a balanced\u00a0meal instead of them making a meal out of a bunch of snacks?!?\u00a0\u00a0I then follow up with a bowl of cereal before bed if anyone’s hungry at that time), my son and I reviewed his spelling words for the week.<\/p>\n

Below\u00a0are my three favorite from this week’s list that I thought I’d share so you can also join in on the fun (when you’re a stay at home mom, I’m sorry to say that this sort of thing becomes “fun.”\u00a0 You get your kicks where you can):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Autumn (hard to figure out what this word actually is since my son initially pronounced it oo-too-men-nen)<\/li>\n
  2. bawls (bow-wels)<\/li>\n
  3. coughing (co-hing)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And there ya have it, Folks!\u00a0 Good times brought to you courtesy of the 3rd grade spelling list!!\u00a0 Thank you and goodnight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
