MEMORIZATION TIPS

 

The Great Lakes ~ When I was teaching my kids the Great Lakes, I told them to remember the word, "HOMES" (Lake Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior).  They learned them in quick time. ~ A great tip from Debbie Klinect in Florida! 

If you want to learn them in order from west to east (left to right), learn the sentence, "Sam's Horse Must Eat Oats."
(Lake Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario).

SPELL CHEQUE
Author unknown  (The English language can be confusing with different spellings and meanings!  Just read this and see!) Please read the complete left column first, then the second column.  I try to squeeze everything into less pages if possible.  For a great test of the proper use of the English language, have your children correct this poem.  Or do it yourself!

 

   Eye halve a spelling chequer                                  
As soon as a mist ache is maid
   It came with my pea sea
