Spelling Words

Jacob came home yesterday with a list of words that he is learning to spell. One of the words was "which". After spelling the words, he had to make a connection to another word using the spelling word. The connection he made was "bich" (say it phonetically). I was so proud to see my son learning...and even more proud to see that the teacher drew a large blue star on the top!!! Holy cow! I guess he did what he was supposed to. (The good news here is that with all 5 spelling words, his "connection" word started with a "b". So at least it was a TRUE mistake - not an intentional swearing). Of course, I did have to explain that this is not an appropriate word or one I care to see or hear him use again. Ahhhhhh....1st grade!
