Shaving Cream Spelling

You gotta love the blogosphere. You can find all kinds of neat ideas out there and today I put one into action.

I was reading about how one woman had helped her daughter get interested in studying her spelling words by letting her write them in shaving cream on a cookie sheet. Sounded easy enough and it was something I was sure the girls would love. After all, what's *not* to love?

I told K to skip writing her spelling words this morning and we would do something fun when she finished all of her work. I have *never* seen that child work so quickly! Even she was impressed with herself and resolved that from now on she would be done with school by 10am. Yeah, uh-huh, I can see that happening.

Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of the spelling (and just plain playing) fun.
