I helped the twins with their spelling words this morning: bumpy, puppy, funny, penny, sandy, bunny, sleepy, chilly, my, night, or, because, behavior, group, plead. Adrienne got them all correct except for behavior and plead. I told her the correct way to spell them and she corrected her work.
Atticus had problems with because so I helped him out by spelling it for him. When we went back over the work he had spelled it becaus. When I told him that he had spelled it incorrectly he started crying and complaining that I had told him to spell it that way. He also missed behavior, group and plead spelling them behavor, graep and pled. He kept saying that his mother told him that group had an "e" in it and that it wasn't his fault.
So he wanted to practice the words again so we did it again. Once again he misspelled because (becaus), behavior (behavoior) and group (gruap) and when I corrected them he just broke down crying and went upstairs.
He wants to be so confident and he thinks he already knows everything and when someone calls him on it he just can't handle it.
Ahh the challenges of being a parent. Hopefully this will be one of the largest challenges with him......
RIGHT!!!!
