So I'm confused. First graders are between the ages of 5 and 7 correct?
Maybe I'm seeing things. You know hallucinating.
Because Daughter's spelling list this week includes the word "courteous". I'll be honest, I don't even know how to spell courteous without:
A. Picturing the the word and concentrating
or which is much more likely
B. Spelling it wrong and seeing what corrections Word pops up with.
Courteous - courteous - courteous Nope, still can't spell it easily.

Where do these words come from?
Is there a master list of spelling words somewhere that I'm not aware of?
Who on earth thought "Hmm, courteous is an excellent first grade spelling word, those 6 year olds really need to have a handle on words with EOU in them."
Seriously?
And why are we still having spelling tests anyway?
Isn't school over yet?
