I used to be a Teacher Assistant for kindergarten about 2 years ago. Anyway, we were helping the children write sentences in their journals. The teacher was helping one little girl in particular spell "wash". So, she asks the girl, sweetie, what makes the (making the phoenetic sound for w) sound and the girl says the letter... "W". So she asks
again for "a" and the girl says the letter..."A". So then she asks, what makes the "shhhhhhh" sound? The girl was having a hard time with this one, but then, she perked up and said "Mommy!!"
We laughed for days and made sure we told her mother, too! I miss my kindergartners!!!
