That's what I was thinking?

yep. wizard of oz. at first he was just saying lion and the green guy. once he added the guy with the hat that has steam coming out I got it. Our copy of the movie still had the plastic wrap on it, so he has never seen it at our house before. they must have been watching it at daycare.

So my daughter is having trouble with her spelling. I think it's thyme for some tutoring from uncle mike.

All well, most engineers can't spell anyway.

All well, most non-electrical engineers can't spell anyway.

Fixt.

I've been told that I need to used spell check from now on.

My poor daughter can't spell very well either, and she seems to talk with a slight accent (have no idea where she got it from). So when she tries to sound out words like "saw", she'll write "sall".

My son on the other hand has inherited his mothers spelling and grammar skills. He can look at a word one time and will remember it. I don't remember the last time he got a word wrong on a spelling test.

I literally just learned this week that excel has a speel check (No shit!) that would have been nice if someone had told me that 20 years ago

So do most internet browsers...

 

[matt267 PE]

Too bad spelling tests don't have a built in spell check.

 

[NJmike PE]

That would be cool

With our kids we just had to spend a lot of time with their weekly spelling words on index cards until they knew them....

It is a royal pain in the ass and something I don't miss doing

 

[NJmike PE]

In a year we plan on homeschooling the first of our three. This should be interesting...

 

[matt267 PE]

I use flashcards for her math facts. I'm thinking of making flashcards with her spelling words to play "memory." I'll have her say and spell the word every time she pick up a card.

All this while I try to study too.

I think you're also supposed to use a spray bottle of water and splash them in the face if they get a wrong answer.

Or maybe that's when your cat scratches on the furniture I can't remember

 

[matt267 PE]

I was going to withhold dinner. But the water bottle technique might work too.

Edit:

I think I misspelled ever other work in this post. I hit "backspace" more than any other key on the keyboard.

Orange looks good on you Mike.

Signs and banners for #2's birthday party next weekend. Mrs NJ made a treasure hunt for the kiddos too. I will be making a treasure chest from a cardboard box too.

Can you tell what the theme of the party is?

 

[MA_PE]

Pirates? Treasure chest and you have pirated copies of the superheroes movies?

 

[matt267 PE]

Today was pirate day in mystic, ct.
