A Little Too Smart for Her Own Good

The girls have been working on writing and spelling in their kindergarten class.  This evening they were doing a writing exercise with Sarah; she was giving them words and they were trying to spell and then write them.  Partway through the exercise Sarah told them to write the word "ship".

After a bit of back and forth, they decided to guess that "c-h" should be used to write the "sh" sound.

"No," said Sarah. "Can you think of any other words that start with a 'Sh' sound?  Maybe that will help you to figure out what letters go together to make the 'Sh' in 'ship'."

After a moment of reflection Camille said, "How about....chandelier?"
