My AP was giving me a hard time when I made my latest board (“O is for octopus”) because my highest group was asked to phonetically spell out octopus.
Obviously, this a very difficult task. I got “oktopas, “octapus,” “oktopos” and “octopas.” And one brilliant, amazing, incredible little darling who had to repat this year (had her last year too) spelled it: “octopus,” bless her heart. They did this independently which is ~INCREDIBLE~ for a group of pre-K students, especially since most of them came in not knowing their letters at all. All I did was stretch the word, make the sound, and then they wrote the letter they thought it was.
My AP wants to know… “Why did some of them spell octopus wrong?”
So this is what I made in response to her idiocy and it’s going smack up on the board as soon as I get back to work tomorrow:

Wait, hold up, THESE ARE PRE-K kids? I’d say they’re doing an amazing job if they’re spelling it so well phonetically.
