As a teacher, I have learned to go with the flow when teaching new concepts. Some days Abbie & Sophie learn the material fast, fast, fast; other days there might be tears, time-outs, and long bouts of repetition. Unexpectedly, today was a slower learning day with giggles and smiles rather than tears and time-outs.
In English, we started to learn about synonyms and antonyms. Abbie and Sophie had no problem remembering synonym = same/similar meaning words or antonym = opposite meaning words; BUT, they couldn't pronounce synonym/antonym to save their lives! Oh my goodness, it was sooooo funny I had to film part of Abbie in the process of learning and share it with y'all.
I think Abbie learns better when she can read it so I wrote it down phonetically on the white board. She finally got it down as long as she said the words separately. Sophie (major audio learner), on the other hand, got it down in a matter of seconds so I wasn't able to film her.
