There are so many ways to watch our children as they become the wonderful people God wants them to be! They learn all of the time. They grow in His knowledge and His faith all of the time.
This year many of the students have already conquered the idea of tightening shoestrings from the toe of the shoe to the top. They are working at keeping shoestrings tied for a longer time by double tieing the "bunny ears". It is great to see a skill they struggled with during the first week of school slowly becoming automatic. Now they barely stop to think about how to double tie bunny ears.
All knowledge is like Bunny Ears. It becomes easier to apply without thinking when we use it, practice it, and fine tune it daily.
As your students apply the knowledge of our new Silent e Spelling Pattern I hope you take some time to post their words to our blog. Make sure words end with a silent e and contain a long vowel sound. The last two sentences used some words that fit the pattern....hope, take, time, and make.
"Sure" ends with a silent e, but the bossy r doesn't let the u sound out as a long vowel (it doesn't say u). Check your words before you add them to the blog.
You can add the words by clicking in the box that appears under "Post a Comment" and you'll be able to type in the box. Remember to also click on Publish before leaving the comment section. Then your silent e search will be posted on our blog! Happy Searching!
