A little play on words


This week while doing our MBTP lessons, we did some fun crafts, that actaully went with the bee class we took a couple of weeks ago. Anthony made a fun bee topper for his pencil and flowers for it to pollinate! We went over the how the bee gathers the pollen to make yummy honey. It was fun afternoon of making things and sampling some honey:)

Then on to our grammar and writing, which is always a challenge to get excited about in our house. I decided to see if he could distinguish between multiple meaning words and went to my favorite site for any related to words Spelling City! They had these fun play on words sentences.....

Never desert your friends in the desert.
Close the window before the bee gets too close.
Lead poisoning can lead to health issues.
Does the deer see the does?
The dove dove down to its nest.
Shut your mouth or a fly might fly into it.

These were part of the sentence writing and I was even surprised when they had things like capitalization of different words like... may (as in May I help you?) and May (the month). Usually, I let him do these types of lessons/games on his own but this time even I stuck around so that we could play together. It's hard to always make the days fun when there is sooo much to do, so I enjoy days like this one just as much as he did!

  1. So, has anyone ever told Anthony he looks like that kid from Modern Family?? Well, anyway, I think so. But I'm weird, so maybe that doesn't quite count. ;) Anyway...that kid is famous and adorable and I'm sure Anthony is too. :D
