Today's Copywork Assignment

I usually don't think much about reporting Abby's copywork stuff, cause it really makes for a boring picture. Today, however, she gave a really cute answer to one of the questions, so I figured now was a good time to write about Copywork.

Today's Copywork:

Tom rubs the van's hub cap.

(She copy's the sentence in her own handwriting).

Then she does the excercises for that sentence. Today's were as follows:

1. Circle the apostrophe. What does it mean? (she answer's orally--"That it belongs to him.") I'm not about to correct her that a van is not necessarily a him/her.

2. Why do you think Tom would rub the hub cap? (What I was expecting: "To make it shiny." What she actually answered was way cuter: "Because maybe they're going to a show to see who's cars the prettiest!" TOO CUTE!!!!)

3. Underline the wrods with the short u sound. (rubs, hub)
