Re: My kids want spelling tests!!!! Ugh!
[email protected]
Hello everyone,
I'm hoppin on here to ask for some support I guess. Maybe I just need to not
be wigging out. Kass & Kree, 11 yo twin dd's, asked today if I could start
giving them spelling tests. I was taken aback and said, "Sure, if that's what
you want...." They said they don't want to write out definitions and they
don't want to write them 3 times each or anything like that, but that they
would like to write a sentence using each word. I'm torn between wondering if
they are feeling like they are behind in something, (they have been playing
with the kid next door whom we, dh & I can't stand) or if they are just
leading themselves in wanting to pursue mastering spelling. I don't want to
make a big deal about it and have them think I don't want them to learn these
things, but they specifcally said test and my hair on the back of my neck
stood up. Yuck, was all I could think. So when I get done writing this I will
begin to make up a list of words, but any feed back from you all would be
greatly appreciated. I asked them why they wanted to do this and they said
they were bored today and were thinking if they had words to study, they
could be doing that. I don't buy that as the true reason, but I don't want to
disuede them from learning irregardless.
Thanks in advance,
Rhonda

Spelling was FUN for me when I was a kid! And maybe they'll be interested in
spelling-bee stuff!!
There are probably some lists online somewhere that are "ordered" by
difficulty, and maybe you could come up with ten words and let them eliminate
words they already know, if they want to.
See if they can use more than one word in a sentence (instead of one sentence
with each word, which is boring). Two, or five or ALL the words in a
sentence!
<<So when I get done writing this I will

Do they want to do written tests or "spelling bee"? You should try both and
see which one they like, and they can be analytical about why one or the
other is easier for them, or maybe BOTH will be fun and easy!!
<<I don't buy that as the true reason, but I don't want to

I wouldn't worry about why. Either it will be a blast and they'll do it for
years, or they'll get tired of it in a couple of days, or somewhere between.

Lexie likes grammar worksheets and quizes. She finds them on the
internet and does the ones I use in my classroom. Personally I find
them revolting, and would never voluntarily do worksheets and only do
them with my students in my classroom because I have to do so, but Lexie
loves them. She loves grammar. If she wants to do silly grammar
worksheets I let her. If she doesn't, I don't care. It's her life, her
education.
If your kids want spelling tests, give them to them, I'd say. When they
don't want them, don't.

I just mentioned this to Lexie and she said "Tell them about me!" I
took the STARR Test and I loved it! Well, I didn't like it that it made
me m iss a lot of stuff that I love to do, and I had to get up early,
but I LOVED taking the test itself!"
Weird child. I said that to her... You are a weird child, Lexie.
And she said "I know, thank you." She and her other unschooling friends
have decided being weird is cool.

It will be okay.
Brianna does that, sometimes, esp. on long drives, we spell.
Sometimes, she'll ask for atest. I see it as a holdover or something....but it's all okay

You can also by sheets of magnetic paper for your printer at Office Max, make your own words, add clip art or photos etc. and just cut them out. I think you can get 5 sheets for about $10. We make refrigerator magnets with them ... but you've inspired me to try something new!

Thank you, Sandra. Who knew that there were people posting their magnet
poetry on the internet? I shoulda been able to deduce that, since
everything is on the internet.
I didn't phrase my question clearly. I'm trying to figure out if they
sell blank sheets of the magnet stuff that I can write my own words on.
Long ago, I think I had a friend who did some kind of scrapbooking thing
where she cut out the outlines of photos of her kids using this thin,
flexible magnet backing. So maybe I should look in scrapbooking stores
or in the scrapbooking section of the craft store. I can also go to the
craft store and wave my hands around a lot and see if they can figure
out what I want. <g>

Another Mom from our support group, although she is a school at homer, has a
child that loves to spell. They will spell things out to each other instead
of talking. It is so funny to watch and listen too. The daughter will spell
out a question and the mother will spell back the answer. This is one of the
things that isn't required. Didn't want to make her sound too bad. This was
something the Mom told us the child wanted to do.

We bought some once at Wal-mart, in the craft department. I don't
remember if it was expensive. It was a sheet about 8"x11".
Could you print your poetic words out on some label paper and slap it on
the magnetic sheet, then cut them out? I don't know, but now I'll
probably have to try that. <g>

Thank you to everyone who responded to my worry. I guess I needed to sleep
the worry off. I love that they want to spell and plan to support it however
they wish. More than anything I guess I was more concerned with the reason
behind it. That probably has more to do with the girls playing with a child I
don't personally like than about learning. But I guess there is a lesson in
that too. Perhaps I need to sit back and let them see what attributes this
child displays that make us not like him. However, when they do play with
him, we notice an immediate change in their demeanor and it's not for the
positive. So I think I'm really on the fence about their choice in friends.
Thanx again,
Rhonda

Wal-Mart sells packs of magnetic paper for printers pretty cheep,
espescially if you just want to print out lots of words, then cut it up.
I used it to make magnetic paper dolls for my girls. We have elaborate
rooms (full sheets) on the frig with paper dolls and their clothes. I
got the dolls off a website. It was a lot of cutting but the kids LOVE
it. I even printed scaled pictures of themselves, so they could
"dress-up" in the fancy dresses. For those of you with boys, they had
paper dolls as frontiersmen, gladiators, etc. Really cool stuff. I've
been playing a lot with different kinds of printer paper. I haven't
used it yet, but on-line I bought Shrinky-Dink printer paper. I just
can't decide what to make yet. HeidiC.

It's pretty clear here that I'm NOT a strong speller! Yikes! "Cheep,
cheep," said the baby bird!

Lisa asked me today if I would give her an assignment to do something. I asked what she had in mind. She said a kid's teacher assigned the class to write to a business and ask for something silly. The kids asked for, and got, a lifetime of free curly frys. Lisa wants to write to the company that makes croutons she really likes and ask for that. I asked why she needed me to assign that, why can't she just do it? She said, "Can I?" I told her she could.

I used to work at a _Fast Signs_ sign shop. We used magnetic stuff
to make signs for cars and there was often scraps left over. My
boss gave the leftovers to schols nearby you may be able to call one
or similar shops and ask if you could take their scrps off their
hands for free.
