Mr. Special Sound Muncher

This week we met a new friend...Mr. Special Sound Muncher.

He is in our classroom to help us learn our Special Sounds.

We use the Abeka curriculum and have several charts full of "special sounds". A.K.A...words that refuse to follow the rules of "One vowel words say their short sound and when there are two vowels, the first one does the talking and the second one does the walking (SILENTLY)." So glad I was born speaking English, I hear it is pretty tough learning as a second language. :) Well today my kids got to feed Mr. Special Sound Muncher! "He" sent home a note last night with the special sound he was hungry for..ck in duck. They are able to bring in pictures they draw or find or words they write or find that use that special sound. This morning they excitedly fished in their backpacks for their meal and fed it to him.

Mr. Special Sound Muncher was definitely full!
