How Old, Question Mark

Emery doesn’t get as much formal teaching time as Savannah, but he’s always hanging around, absorbing bits and pieces of whatever I’m telling her. We’ve been doing a lot of work on punctuation marks and sentence structure type stuff.

One day in her Sight Words book she was learning the words “how”, “old”, and a few others. We began writing sentences using these words and she kept getting hung up on using the word “how” first, making each sentence a question. Like, “how old is Stafford?”

I wanted her to think outside the box. “You don’t have to use the word ‘how’…try writing a sentence that isn’t a question,” I told her.

She stopped and was thinking about it for a minute when Emery shouts, “I’ve got one!!!”

“Okay, what is it?”

“Mommy is old. PERIOD!”
