SPRING OF 2020 IS MEMORABLE Not sure of the timeline but some heard December, 2019 from China, others said January, 2020, and still others said February BUT we're all one in the world May, 2020 with the Pandemic... Corolla Virus also known as (aka) Corvid-19, not exactly rushing around us but in charge of how we live our lives for the near future. Someone suggested on Facebook I plant little green onion bulbs 2 meters apart. Well, I rolled my eyes at THAT piece of advice! Practically slobbering at the thought of picking green onions I planted one row about 4 inches apart and none of them have far to shake the dirt from their little bulbs and enjoy the sunshine I wish for them and the rain that was falling gently as I closed my curtains. In this dear country it can change to snow with little or no notice... even in May!
LONG vowels say their own name: A as in t a pe; E as in f e et; I as in like ; O as in g o at; U as in c u be SHORT vowels say the short sound in words below: a as in t a p; e as in p e t; i as in i t, m i tt; o as in d o c; u as in c u b This next story will help you remember VOWELS in the alphabet. Once upon a time a mom had borrowed sugar from her neighbour. She asked her little boy to return it the next day. The little boy took the cup of sugar to the neighbour saying, " A E, I O U (and sometimes Y is a vowel) some sugar!" So the vowels are "A E, I O U (and sometimes y)." this is a story as told to our class when Noel was about grade 3 or 4. I never forgot your wonderful little helpful hints about how to remember the vowels in the alphabet. (Noel is a grown-up man with a family of his own now) by Prairie Gal
