Helper and Hints ~Part 6~

April 30, 2009 Lana

      These helpers or hints have helped me tremendously. I just love cute little sayings that help me remember English, Spelling and Arithmetic rules.

      Part 1 of Helper and Hints
      Part 2 of Helper and Hints
      Part 3 of Helper and Hints
      Part 4 of Helper and Hints
      Part 5 of Helper and Hints

    1. Cincinnati is a word
      Hard to spell but easy heard.
      It need not cause you irritation,
      Just drop the ON from CIN CIN NATION.
    2. Massachusetts is tricky,” the teacher confesses,
      “Just remember to spell it with two tees and four s.”
    3. Let’s put an end to all this confusion.
      We can’t tell the difference between Tuscan and Tucson.
      The best way to end typographical stress
      Is to remember to put the C before S.
    4. ANTI­DIS­ESTABLISH­MENT­ARIAN­ISM is really not the longest word, do you know what is?
    5. To know the difference between b and d, make a bed using b and d.  b-d.
    6. HOMES on a Great Lake:
      H-Huron, O-Ontario, M-Michigan, E-Erie, S-Superior (I had forgotten this one but Mom2fur had given that suggestion to us.)  I love it!
    7. Learning the 10 commandments:
    8. <\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/div>“;” alt=”” />

        Aww, gee, thanks for the credit. It isn’t like I made that up myself, LOL! But here is one I did make up! I could never remember how to spell broccoli. So I tell myself this: “I can “SEE” there are two “Cs” in broccoli.” Hey, even the dumbest ones work, LOL!

        You have the best lists! Your Kids prefer cheese over fried green spinache came in handy this morning as Rachel was heading off to take the science TAKS test….I’m using it tomorrow in my CLEP test too! Blessings, sweet friend.

      May the LORD bless you and keep you; May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May He turn His face toward you and give you peace. Feel free to leave a comment - we LOVE to hear your thoughts! ~Blessings to you!~ ~You are so loved!~ ~Lana (Like Banana)~
