Salinger is really boring, even if he riles up the parents.<BR/><BR/>My pet peeve with those worksheets are the anachronistic pictures. Invariably, there is a picture of an ink bottle for "i" or a quill pen for "q", causing much consternation as my children insist it's either medicine, or a feather.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the Etch-a-Sketch picture, I got from a website that lets you type in words and makes them look like the toy... I'm not that talented!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://milehimama.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Mama Says</A>Milehimama @ Mama Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04755353355022539817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-17662066364208472002007-06-11T12:33:00.000-07:002007-06-11T12:33:00.000-07:00In our house, Spanglish, toddler talk, and pre-tee...In our house, Spanglish, toddler talk, and pre-teen speak gets thrown into the mix which jumbles and confuses the English language <I>and</I> us even more.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37025305.post-45276134838304357372007-06-11T05:57:00.000-07:002007-06-11T05:57:00.000-07:00I love that you are learning "American English" an...I love that you are learning "American English" and you are FROM ENGLAND.
