ABCs

As the end of summer institute draws to a close, we need to assess our cherubs to see how much their brains have grown. I take them one at a time out of the classroom and show them ABC flash cards, they need to tell me the letter name, the sound the letter makes and a word that begins with that letter... here are some of my favorite responses from today:

Holding up the letter l:

Student: Thats a one.

Me: What sound does it make?

Student: wha wha

Me: What word starts with this letter.

Student: nothing.

Letter P name, Student J: That's a zero.

Letter T name, Student J: Airplane.

Word that begins with A, Student: Akon (That one's for you Dad!)

Word that begins with M, Student: Madagascar
