Today for Zach’s language lesson, we were discussing special holidays as proper nouns and sentence structure. One of Zach’s sentences he needed to help fix was:
In June we celebrate father’s day.
Well he knew that Father’s Day was the holiday and the proper noun that needed fixing. So I asked him “How do we fix Father’s Day?” Before he could even answer Chantelle proudly told him “by fixing breakfast for daddy!”
Zach replied, “No! you fix the F and the D.”
Chantelle replied back, “But daddy needs breakfast on Father’s Day.”
Zach: “But the D and the F have to be capital letters!”
Chantelle: “You can’t fix Father’s day with letters!” and stomps off.
Zach confused by this point, “Mom, I need to fix the D and F with capital letters not breakfast to make the sentence right, right?”
At this point trying not to laugh at my 1st grader and preschooler with two very different thought processes I let Zach know he had found the correct words to fix in his sentence.
