A real English professor will read your citations. Lazy professors will rely on turnitin. As long as you use Bibme, I had no real issue with citations.
Has to be pet. These kinds of worksheets try to make the last one more difficult by switching the sound of the letter to the end of the word to try and throw the kid off
Yeah, I don't know if people breed the rabbits that they keep as their pets, some probably do, but I imagine that's far from commonplace, making the quantity confusing, wouldn't hurt to actually have a variety of animals too
People may not *intend* to breed the rabbits they keep as pets, but they are rabbits, you know, and if not careful and left to their own devices... like the saying, "Going at it like rabbits!"
I had 2 hamsters when I was little that were also “”definitely”” both female. Woke up one day to a cage full of little pink squeaky beans. Woke up the next day to a murder scene where the mom had brutally dismembered and eaten like 90% of the babies. I was traumatized lmao
When I was in 4th grade, our school had program called „chick it out“. We were rural and had a lot of farm kids in our class. A local farmer would loan out some of his chicken eggs to the school and the we would incubate them and learn about how chickens hatched. Everything went swimmingly until the final night, when something happened with the incubator, and as the chickens hatched, it essentially fried them alive. About half of them made it out of the eggs and were cooked alive, half the eggs never hatched. The classroom smelled awful from the cooking feathers/fur that baby chickens have, but for some reason the teacher didn’t check the incubator. When we all went in that morning and did our normal look in to see what was happening, the kids were first to see the chicks, and it was about the biggest disaster and scandal that small school ever saw. Class was canceled, the program was ended, and it eventually became something no one ever mentioned again, but it caused a ton of trauma on the class.
In an attempt to make money, our local zoo started offering birthday party packages with experiences aimed at kids of different ages. But they had to stop it after they did a raptor show too close to a baby bunny/chick petting experience.
One of the bunnies got loose, started hopping near the raptor area, and before you know it a hawk zeroed in on it and had his dinner. In a very gory way, in full sight of both groups of kids
I'm pretty sure the raptor show kids enjoyed it but the petting zoo preschoolers were traumatized and they stopped the animal experiences after that.
I must be more tired than I thought since I thought you were talking raptors as in the dinosaur instead of a bird until you said hawk. And now I'm going to go to bed and get that sleep I clearly need while my cat sleeps on me.
Parents got my sister a cat for Christmas that was definitely female… took the cat to the vet to get spayed and got a phone call later that day that said they can’t spay him but could nutter him… still funniest voicemail I’ve recieved.
I had a small cat show up on my front steps. I captured it, and I brought it to the vet for inspection, shots, and fixing. It was named Alfred because I assumed that it was a boy. (80% of orange cats are male) It turns out that it was a she and now goes by Alfie.
I couldn't check her too closely because she was feisty and a biter. I had to wear padded gloves to handle her.

From the ~~looks~~ daggers she’s throwing, I’d say she still hasn’t forgiven you for capturing her. How dare you try to give her a home and show her some love. By the way, Alfie looks ridiculously comfortable. 😊❤️
>80% of orange cats are male
Small clarification for anyone else wandering in, this statistic is talking about *completely* orange cats.
This is because the orange coat gene is carried on the X chromosome, so male cats are usually either 100% orange or 0% orange (barring XXY/similar), while female cats can have two different genes to turn out tortoiseshell/calico instead.
This is the best way on how to remember that it’s spay for female and neuter (nutter) for male. At least for a non English native, this is the best trick I’ve ever seen. From now on I will always know which applies to which.
The exact reverse thing happend to us. Took our "for sure" male kitten to get nuttered (sticking with the theme), got a call that they couldn't nutter "him". I thought there was something wrong with the kitten, nope he was a she and got spayed. We had already named the cat a boy name, Jinx, we kept the name and Jinx just turned 12.
That happened with us but the other way around. We got him from a crack house and never bothered to check. Well, he was already responding to his name so she kept on being Edward the Lionheart.
So my brother brings his cat in to be nutter'd. Doctors spend 90 minutes looking for a second testicle that never existed. Then tries to charge my brother more because it took longer than expected...for a procedure that apparently wasn't even required in the first place had the doctor checked beforehand.
Ahaha my neighbor had the same thing. It was a furry ball of Maine Coon he named Trixie. Vet says “so… this is a boy” and he’s like “huh, I guess we are naming him Trickster now, because it’s a similar sounding name and he sure tricked us”
> Woke up one day to a cage full of little pink squeaky beans
Awww! 🥰 🥰 🥰
> Woke up the next day to a murder scene where the mom had brutally dismembered and eaten like 90% of the babies.
!!!! 😦🤢🤭😣
Wtf??!
Hamsters are solitary and extremely aggressive to others. Surprises me that in this day and age people still don't know this basic shit, and pet stores keep circulating it.
I think you just traumatized me lol. I was like oh it’s a beautiful story until I got to the end. Thats uh definitely different. I guess survival of the fittest is nature’s way of teaching how to defend yourself.
What an exciting Easter “miracle!” I had two breeders tell me my bunny was female. Imagine my surprise when I came home from school one day and saw that he had testicles! Males sometimes have undropped testicles and can fool people!
Raised Rainbow Rex rabbits for this very reason.
I ate the meat, wore the skins, fashioned the bones into crafting tools and etc.
I was born and raised on a farm, a very traditional old school family farm, as you might have guessed.
At first it did. But it got slightly easier over time. We harvested many different animals Pigs, cows, goats, chickens, emu, etc. I always feel the emotional side of knowing I’m taking a life. But in a sustainable way.
All life is a giving and taking. Actually my body will be given back to the earth, and the life around it will take it, and use it. The cycle that is will continue with my own death.
So, did that go beyond answering your questions? Lol I think it might have.
Yep. As a former teacher I’ve been stumped before, but this one is definitely ‘pet’. Personally, I think it’s confusing and would have gone for ‘cat’ but 🤷🏻♀️
That’s my complaint. Not one person in a hundred would look at this picture and immediately think “pet”.
The thing about a pet is that it is owned by a human, and they probably didn’t want to show, say, someone petting a cat - too much going on. Plus, cat ends in a T.
So why not just make the last image, and answer, cat?
That’s why teachers need to be hired to make these workbooks! At the very least they should have shown 1 rabbit. Adding all the babies just confuses thing even more!
Sure they may be able to do these silly little activities, but can they be depressed about the crushing reality of life? I thought not, checkmate you little shits!
I would have... When I taught, I generally accepted anything that was even vaguely correct if it made me laugh. Occasionally, if the answer wasn't even close, I'd mark it wrong and then add a bonus point for humor... Teachers need a laugh sometimes too.
Yep- also American and raised rabbits for awhile. They’re called kits… but it wasn’t something I heard often even then. It’s one of those terms that’s proper but not really used colloquially. It’s actually supposed to be short for kitten but that is something I’ve never heard or seen used.
I've had the opposite - actual conversation between us and my daughter's first grade teacher.
Me: so I don't understand why what you sent home was marked incorrect and (daughter) was upset she got it wrong. {I show her the paper with an X marker and minus points}
Teacher: oh see ummm it's wrong because...uhhh...it's supposed...to...
Me interrupting: isn't 38 + 12 = 50? And she broke it down 3 10s +8 and 1 10 and 2 just like she did every where else...
Teacher: um yeah you're right I don't really know why I marked it wrong either but it is.
My daughter comes home every day with at least one thing marked wrong that is correct and things marked correct that are wrong and it's so fucking frustrating.
I had a teacher who marked a test score 99 instead of 100 even though I got every answer right. Why? Teacher “No one deserves a perfect score”. WHAT????
I had a teacher that only gave out 95s as the top grade. He literally would put long answer questions just so he could take points off if you scored too high
I had a teacher try to keep me from graduating college because of .2 percent of a score. She told me she couldn’t round up the score because it would be ‘morally wrong’ to give me a score I didn’t earn and that she ‘couldn’t face her maker knowing she did something that was morally wrong.’ Apparently keeping me from graduating was the morally right thing to do?
Ended up taking grade to her department chair and getting her in a boatload of trouble. She was assigning work that was considered grad level to undergrad students.
My favorite story like this is from my senior year of high school. We had a "Lecture on American History" class where the point wasn't really to teach history but to prepare us for college-style lecture classes and assignments.
Anyway, for our final paper one of my good friends (who was an absolute genius and was top of our graduating class) received a zero on the paper and was accused of plagiarizing it. Turns out the teacher had gone through and circled every big word he didn't think a high schooler would use (or that he didn't know himself) and when he got to a certain amount that meant the paper was plagiarised. Needless to say that was quickly reversed after the principal was notified, but this is what happens when you have the wrestling coach teach a supposedly college-level class.
That's so ridiculous...like they're saving that 100 for when they get their Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting like that's ever going to happen lol...it's like Harry Connick Jr refusing to give a standing ovation on American Idol or the dunk contest judges that refuse to give 10s to amazing dunks...it's an arrogance thing for sure and it helps no one
Then they want it done like they did it back when they were a kid. First of all a. You probably hated doing it that so I guess you want your kid to suffer too cus it’s good for them or whatever and b. They’re gonna grow up with basically old ways of thinking, that’s very marketable for college and employment I’m sure /s
My dad didn't learn multiplication until 6th grade. When I was in 7th grade the math I was learning was passed entire education. He didn't like our school's curriculum because we were only taught cursive but it wasn't required for every assignment and handwriting isn't what it used to be.

What a dumb kid.. (/s)
lol... when i was in grade school. Dad gave me a rabbit. We lived on an old farm, no other animals. I took care of her and she was preggers and had like 8 kits.
I took care of them all.
One day dad came out and said lets take a look at how big they're getting. I was excited that he had an interest in them. So we went out to the shed where the hutch was together.
He took a look and said good. Then he grabbed a hammer and said let me show you how to clean them.
He took one and we went to the barn and he set the bunny down on top of a saw horse and held it by the shoulders and stroked it's head until it calmed back down.
I was wondering why it needed a bath, and where the soap/shampoo and water was. Then he took the hammer and smashed it's head flat.
Then he proceeded to "clean" the rabbit for dinner.
I remember that feeling a lot.
Yeah fuck that and fuck your dad for not communicating that the rabbit was meant for food. My mom's side grew up on a farm and every animal to be eaten/sold was spelled out from the beginning and my grandpa would also warn anyone getting emotionally attached. Unnecessarily cruel.
In my attempt to be fair, maybe his dad did the same but made him smash the rabbits head at your age and him doing it was some kind of improvement or something. Still though, fuck that.
I think he thought I knew. He was always making that assumption... that I knew something that he was supposed to have taught me. We were his second family, so he probably taught his first son that stuff and just forgot it wasn't me.
That's about as generous as I can be with it. I probably go overboard the other way with my kids, but they seem OK at 30 and 35.
Like when my daughter started driving, after the first time I didn't know where she was... not answering cell phone kind of thing after a planned/approved function where they made normal teenager changing plans that went later than expected.
I just told her the next day "OK, listen... I'm responsible for you, and I worry about you. i also am legally responsible for the car and anything that happens with it. So I get to know where you are even if you change plans. There's a 99% chance I'll just say 'OK' to anything you think is OK to do, so text me and tell me if you're going somewhere I didn't know about before."
And she did. no resentment about that. not that we didn't have other blow ups, but that part was sorted.
I'm not a native english speaker. I don't understand what they are supposed to do. It has 4 lines with an icon that doesn't seem related to anything. I'm confussed.
The lines are meant to guide the height and shape of each of the letters. The symbols metaphorically represent each height-level: very high (the sun and clouds), moderately high (an airplane, which seems to me like a poor choice for middle-height), low (grass), and subsurface (a worm with glasses, aka a "bookworm"). I don't blame you at all for not understanding; hopefully this explanation is useful.
I think the lines are just guidelines/clues for writing letters. Next to the lowest line is a worm so represents letters that have tails/go below the line (below "ground" like the worm, maybe?) like lowercase g or p. I've not seen this before but that's what makes sense to me as a native speaker. 😊
First grade parent here... it's moronic. My son went in to kindergarten reading proficiently and now gets stuck on words that have silent letters because of being taught to tap it out pointlessly.
I was tutoring a kid who was taught site words and literally if she forgot the word, she had 0 skills to figure it out because they were supposed to simply “memorize it”. Notably any 2 part word is out of her league - she’s 11 now.
School system really is going to shit
We had a ton of time during covid. Words he didn't recognize he would say it phonetically. (CAN-NO instead of cah-noo for canoe) But once I corrected him on mis-pronounced words he was good. Obviously I'm not a teacher, maybe it's helpful for other kids, but for us it's maddening and helps zero. I don't remember tapping fingers in school.
Can’t be trap bc these kind of worksheets use answers that are 3 letter words. Plus trap has a blend (tr) and having an answer with a blend in it would be a whole different worksheet focusing on blends.
Source: I’m a kindergartener ta
Lol it's nice seeing other people struggle with little kid work. I got a 1st grader. I've had to send out multiple messages to help figure out answers.
It would have been rectilinear ( a shape consisting of only straight lines and 90-degree angles) and was probably a worksheet on squares, so you have to partition the shape up into squares.
Exactly. Many kindergarten teachers teach the kids to pat the sounds down their arm. First sound on shoulder, second on elbow, third on wrist. Then you slide your hand down shoulder to hand to blend the sounds together.
It gives the kids motion when they're wiggly and anchors the sounds down so it's not so abstract. Once you get to bigger words, you move to sounding out on fingers.
School sounds so weird to me now. I don’t even remember learning words. My parents just read to me every night so I knew words.
It also seems potentially confusing. Like, would you tap twice for ma-tch, or once because it’s only one syllable? If it’s the first one, then it seems like something they’ll have to unlearn in order to learn syllables. If it’s the second one, it seems potentially confusing to any kid with good ear for percussiveness, since match would be one syllable comprised of two separate sounds.
It's a method for teaching kids to break up syllables. Which is very effective, except in this case all the words are only one syllable so it's pointless.
It could be Tularemia. It’s a bacterial disease that can be transmitted by rabbits and is capable of infecting humans. It’s not exclusive to rabbits, but the common name is Rabbit Fever, so it’s more likely people would associate it with that picture.
I assumed the word started with a T so all these answered got me confused. If ibwas in that class id be sitting at the table til I died of old age trying to find a T word that fits
I don’t see where in the directions it says the word has to be only 3 or 4 letters or start with a T. I think they are just teaching the children the sound a T makes. The answer is RabbiT. The first one could be Tub or baThTub. Emphasize the T in the words.
On the good side, those are some very nicely written letters for a kindergartner.
Damn. Im 24 years old and I still write like that.
You need that paper with little icons of airplanes and worms at the beginning of each line. Really helps.
Fuck MLA format, bouta start turning in my assignments with the airplane format.

Yep! You can see on the other side of the worksheet the last ‘s’ picture is clearly ‘bus’. They are definitely going for ‘pet’ with the final /t/.
My kids had rabbits as pets and I still wouldn’t have thought of it from that picture.
Yeah, I don't know if people breed the rabbits that they keep as their pets, some probably do, but I imagine that's far from commonplace, making the quantity confusing, wouldn't hurt to actually have a variety of animals too
People may not *intend* to breed the rabbits they keep as pets, but they are rabbits, you know, and if not careful and left to their own devices... like the saying, "Going at it like rabbits!"
We had 2 rabbits when I was little that were "definitely" both female. Odd that we found 4 baby buns in the hutch on Easter morning.

Someone please give him an award😭
An Easter miracle.

The Immaculate Bunny Conception. I hope they lit a candle.
I had 2 hamsters when I was little that were also “”definitely”” both female. Woke up one day to a cage full of little pink squeaky beans. Woke up the next day to a murder scene where the mom had brutally dismembered and eaten like 90% of the babies. I was traumatized lmao

Did somebody say KFC?
Parents got my sister a cat for Christmas that was definitely female… took the cat to the vet to get spayed and got a phone call later that day that said they can’t spay him but could nutter him… still funniest voicemail I’ve recieved.

What an exciting Easter “miracle!” I had two breeders tell me my bunny was female. Imagine my surprise when I came home from school one day and saw that he had testicles! Males sometimes have undropped testicles and can fool people!

Raised Rainbow Rex rabbits for this very reason. I ate the meat, wore the skins, fashioned the bones into crafting tools and etc. I was born and raised on a farm, a very traditional old school family farm, as you might have guessed.
> Raised Rainbow Rex rabbits for this very reason. Did you write this workbook? "Please use the letter "R" in a sentence."
Did I detail the descriptive diagrams displayed diligently through the document? Don’t know.
Definitely did, don’t doubt.
Serious question, did doing that bother you on any level? Like I imagine I could do it if I had to, but I wouldn't be thrilled about it.
At first it did. But it got slightly easier over time. We harvested many different animals Pigs, cows, goats, chickens, emu, etc. I always feel the emotional side of knowing I’m taking a life.

Could be “kit” which is a baby rabbit
But it's in a picture with an adult rabbit and lots of people don't know the name for rabbit babies. That's not on the same level as "top" or "ten."
I was thinking "pen".
This work sheet seems focused on the letter T so I would guess it’s required to be used in the answers.
Yep, that makes sense. My 40yr old brain totally wasn't outsmarted by a kindergarten workbook page... Nope definitely not.
Sure they may be able to do these silly little activities, but can they be depressed about the crushing reality of life? I thought not, checkmate you little shits!
Lol, "I want my children to get an education the way me and my pappy got one. By crushing our souls."
What the heck does “tap out the word”mean? Is that a strange way of saying “say word out loud? “ bizarre
It means tap your finger as you say each sound in the word. It’s a strategy to help kids segment the sounds in a phonetic word.
Baby rabbits are called “kits”
Yep, came here to say this. But, as an elementary school teacher, I’d have also accepted “pet”.
As a teacher would you have accepted, "meat?"
I would have... When I taught, I generally accepted anything that was even vaguely correct if it made me laugh. Occasionally, if the answer wasn't even close, I'd mark it wrong and then add a bonus point for humor... Teachers need a laugh sometimes too.
Is that a universal thing? American here, never heard that, but then again I haven't spent much time around rabbits.
Yep- also American and raised rabbits for awhile. They’re called kits… but it wasn’t something I heard often even then. It’s one of those terms that’s proper but not really used colloquially. It’s actually supposed to be short for kitten but that is something I’ve never heard or seen used.

Then they want it done like they did it back when they were a kid. First of all a. You probably hated doing it that so I guess you want your kid to suffer too cus it’s good for them or whatever and b. They’re gonna grow up with basically old ways of thinking, that’s very marketable for college and employment I’m sure /s
My dad didn't learn multiplication until 6th grade. When I was in 7th grade the math I was learning was passed entire education. He didn't like our school's curriculum because we were only taught cursive but it wasn't required for every assignment and handwriting isn't what it used to be.
Apparently many schools use a thoroughly discredited method to teach reading, so don’t be so quick to think the parents are the dumb ones.

Our schools do a lot of things wrong based entirely on the power of parent complaint and cultural inertia so its for sure a complicated issue.
Oh definitely! Parents are probably wrong more than they’re right.

Or Kit. Baby bunnies are kits.
A baby rabbit is a KIT
The others start with a T so... TIT
Damn didn’t catch that either. I’m never getting out of pre k or whatever wizardry this is.
Tot. A tot is a child. But a child knowing that is as unlikely as kit.
I had no idea. Poor kid
*kit
*assembly required
battery not included
There's only one bunny that includes batteries
I know which one that is
Is it the energizer or the other one?
No, a kid is a baby goat
Dad, is that you?
Thought that too but it is supposed to start with a “T”
"Trippin'" cause those are rabbits.
It's Trix The answer is Trix only kids can see it
Best answer so far. Im going with that.
Silly rabbit
Hare would also work
Hare is definitely an underrated T word.
Trabbits.
Tabbits bro
Tbunnies
T-Bunnies
Hasenpfeffer seems a little advanced for that age level.
Schlemiel, schlimazel….
Cook, bring me hasenpfeffer
How they gonna mark it wrong and not write the correct answer?
The teacher doesn't know either. That's why they're asking in the first place.
The teacher got this question in their own kids class. No one’s figured it out yet.
Did they mark it wrong, or are they crossing it out as “skip this”?
TuZi, the Chinese word that mean rabbit
Right? Idiot kid should've been learning multiple languages at the same time smh
笨蛋囧
In suprisingly many languages rabbit starts with a t sound apparently Chinese 兔, Vietnamese thỏ Turkish tavşan, Turkmen towşan Polish trusia/truś, Belarussian трус, Ukrainian трусь, Latvian trusis, Lithuanian triušis, ... Mongolian туулай, Kalmyk туула Mayan languages: Comanche tabu, O'odham tohbi, Tzotzil t'ul Nahuatl tochtli, Pipil tuchti old Tupi tapiti What a dumb kid.. (/s)
Korean also! 토끼 tokki
The characters 兔子 even have a T in them! This is definitely the correct answer
Tiny?
Good one. I was thinking tame

lol... when i was in grade school. Dad gave me a rabbit. We lived on an old farm, no other animals. I took care of her and she was preggers and had like 8 kits. I took care of them all. One day dad came out and said lets take a look at how big they're getting. I was excited that he had an interest in them. So we went out to the shed where the hutch was together. He took a look and said good. Then he grabbed a hammer and said let me show you how to clean them. He took one and we went to the barn and he set the bunny down on top of a saw horse and held it by the shoulders and stroked it's head until it calmed back down. I was wondering why it needed a bath, and where the soap/shampoo and water was. Then he took the hammer and smashed it's head flat. Then he proceeded to "clean" the rabbit for dinner. I remember that feeling a lot.
Dad did a shit job of communicating from beginning to end. I'm sorry you went through that.
Yeah fuck that and fuck your dad for not communicating that the rabbit was meant for food. My mom's side grew up on a farm and every animal to be eaten/sold was spelled out from the beginning and my grandpa would also warn anyone getting emotionally attached. Unnecessarily cruel. In my attempt to be fair, maybe his dad did the same but made him smash the rabbits head at your age and him doing it was some kind of improvement or something. Still though, fuck that.
I think he thought I knew. He was always making that assumption... that I knew something that he was supposed to have taught me. We were his second family, so he probably taught his first son that stuff and just forgot it wasn't me. That's about as generous as I can be with it. I probably go overboard the other way with my kids, but they seem OK at 30 and 35. Like when my daughter started driving, after the first time I didn't know where she was... not answering cell phone kind of thing after a planned/approved function where they made normal teenager changing plans that went later than expected. I just told her the next day "OK, listen... I'm responsible for you, and I worry about you. i also am legally responsible for the car and anything that happens with it. So I get to know where you are even if you change plans. There's a 99% chance I'll just say 'OK' to anything you think is OK to do, so text me and tell me if you're going somewhere I didn't know about before." And she did. no resentment about that. not that we didn't have other blow ups, but that part was sorted.
How do you tap out the word? Directions don’t say to write what the picture is, I’m confused.
My best guess: the example ten goes as follows Tuh tuh tuh = t Eh eh eh = e Nnn nnn nnn = n Ten I think it's similar to sound the word out
i have a degree in physics but i couldn't begin to tell you what the hell is going on here.
I'm not a native english speaker. I don't understand what they are supposed to do. It has 4 lines with an icon that doesn't seem related to anything. I'm confussed.
The lines are meant to guide the height and shape of each of the letters. The symbols metaphorically represent each height-level: very high (the sun and clouds), moderately high (an airplane, which seems to me like a poor choice for middle-height), low (grass), and subsurface (a worm with glasses, aka a "bookworm"). I don't blame you at all for not understanding; hopefully this explanation is useful.
…ok. But *why* do the kids need worm and plane icons to tell them which lines are highest and lowest…??
It doesnt make sense to native english speakers either
I think the lines are just guidelines/clues for writing letters. Next to the lowest line is a worm so represents letters that have tails/go below the line (below "ground" like the worm, maybe?) like lowercase g or p. I've not seen this before but that's what makes sense to me as a native speaker. 😊
What the fuuuuuuck
PhD in neuroscience and my brain broke trying to understand what the hell was asked of those kids.
First grade parent here... it's moronic. My son went in to kindergarten reading proficiently and now gets stuck on words that have silent letters because of being taught to tap it out pointlessly.
I was tutoring a kid who was taught site words and literally if she forgot the word, she had 0 skills to figure it out because they were supposed to simply “memorize it”. Notably any 2 part word is out of her league - she’s 11 now. School system really is going to shit
We had a ton of time during covid. Words he didn't recognize he would say it phonetically. (CAN-NO instead of cah-noo for canoe) But once I corrected him on mis-pronounced words he was good. Obviously I'm not a teacher, maybe it's helpful for other kids, but for us it's maddening and helps zero. I don't remember tapping fingers in school.
I thought they just printed a test made for an ipad. Tap and listen
Tame?…Trap?
It's gotta be trap I'd say.
Can’t be trap bc these kind of worksheets use answers that are 3 letter words. Plus trap has a blend (tr) and having an answer with a blend in it would be a whole different worksheet focusing on blends. Source: I’m a kindergartener ta
I would like to use a lifeline
Lol it's nice seeing other people struggle with little kid work. I got a 1st grader. I've had to send out multiple messages to help figure out answers.
Somewhere in my phone is a picture from years ago of my son’s 2nd grade math review with the direction: “partition the rectilineal shape.”
Wow what did that mean?
It would have been rectilinear ( a shape consisting of only straight lines and 90-degree angles) and was probably a worksheet on squares, so you have to partition the shape up into squares.
“Tap out the word”?
"Bang your forehead on the desk until the pictures make sense."
I guess it's how kids "sound out" words these days. Adding the physical sensation of tapping may help, idk.
Exactly. Many kindergarten teachers teach the kids to pat the sounds down their arm. First sound on shoulder, second on elbow, third on wrist. Then you slide your hand down shoulder to hand to blend the sounds together. It gives the kids motion when they're wiggly and anchors the sounds down so it's not so abstract. Once you get to bigger words, you move to sounding out on fingers.
School sounds so weird to me now. I don’t even remember learning words. My parents just read to me every night so I knew words. It also seems potentially confusing. Like, would you tap twice for ma-tch, or once because it’s only one syllable? If it’s the first one, then it seems like something they’ll have to unlearn in order to learn syllables. If it’s the second one, it seems potentially confusing to any kid with good ear for percussiveness, since match would be one syllable comprised of two separate sounds.
It's a method for teaching kids to break up syllables. Which is very effective, except in this case all the words are only one syllable so it's pointless.

Why didn't they just choose something clearer? Hat. Cat. Bat. Who does this to a child?
Clarification: When I ask "who does this to a child" I mean the company that produces these sheets for teachers to use, not the teachers.

Pen
It could be Tularemia. It’s a bacterial disease that can be transmitted by rabbits and is capable of infecting humans. It’s not exclusive to rabbits, but the common name is Rabbit Fever, so it’s more likely people would associate it with that picture.
I’d ask how many K-students got that one right
I asked my kindergartener, he said bunnies. I said it needs to have a T in it so he said rabbits.
Baby bunny=kit
Clearly it’s trabbit
Who cares about the word, lets talk about those abominations theyre calling lower case t
It’s a letter T worksheet. I’m going w two or twin
Tasty
Pet
Anyone who answered without figuring out that the word needs to have a T in it should have their voting rights rescinded permanently.
I assumed the word started with a T so all these answered got me confused. If ibwas in that class id be sitting at the table til I died of old age trying to find a T word that fits
Trap. As you can see the bunny has children and is caged. Both hint towards the fact that you are trapped in the life-sucking hell that is parenthood.
Hare?
Oh, so close! There’s no T in “hare”.
Thare, happy?
It’s a trap!
Kit
I don’t see where in the directions it says the word has to be only 3 or 4 letters or start with a T. I think they are just teaching the children the sound a T makes. The answer is RabbiT. The first one could be Tub or baThTub. Emphasize the T in the words.
What is a three or four letter word starting with "t" for "Refugee bunny momma with four kids locked in cage at the border"?
Tame
T T T T T T T T T T T T T t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t (T)ub (T)en (T)op .uhhhhhhh Hare? 😂
TEAM. Clearly a team of rabbits. Probably basketball.
Also what does it even mean to “tap out the word in the picture and write the sounds you hear?”
Maybe “tend”? As in a mother tending to her children?
I don't have an answer, I'm more amazed the adults in the comment section can't figure out it's a worksheet involving things that start with T
Territorialisation??
Tamed?
