Chalk It Up

Our kitchen chalkboard looks like a giant wordsearch, except every letter is part of a word. The kids are obsessed with words, spellings, letters, sounding things out, and want to see their favorite words written on the wall. Then they read them out to me or copy them down on pieces of paper. The current words are:

• family members: Mommy, Mama, Gommie, Pop, Sis, Bud, Albus, Hermione
• Imagination Movers: Dave, Smitty, Scott, Rich
• Brother Bear: Kenai, Denahi, Sitka, Koda
• random favorites: school, food, art, eat, friends, books, cat, Amy (the bunny), penguin
