A ‘dge’ kind of day!

Written by Heather Haupt 6 Comments

Who would have thought that spelling could be so much fun???  About a month ago, we were reviewing the ‘dge 3 letter j’ phonogram in our Spell to Write and Read program (which I just LOVE) when I noticed on the back of the card it offered the cute suggestion of taking some time to go –

Eat fuDGE on the eDGE of a briDGE.

We were meeting friends the next morning and I knew that there was a bridge over an irrigation ditch there, so I whipped up a batch of my super yummy sugar-free fudge and took a box of it over!  (That way, I wouldn’t feel too guilty about giving them fudge before lunch…)
They enjoyed it so much that Keegan, my 4.5 year old, recently asked if we could do it again.  I told him that this was something he would just have to anticipate doing when he reaches that point!
I love my job!

    Hi. I’m over here from the SWR group and I just love your fuDGE idea. The first time I truly understood the word fuDGE (from SWR) I literally did a little dance. I was so excited! It had never made sense to me before! Take care and I wish well with everything. Liz F. (not the trainer!)

    What a fun activity! I know mine would love it- anything for chocolate. Congratulations on your baby girl- mine is already spoiled by her big brothers. One jumps into entertain any time she starts to fuss!

    I just love that expression with cheeks pudged out. Made me smile.
