An umbrella is a contraption designed to Umbrel.
the word Umbrel is dead in the English language. Isn't that interesting. The root word of umbrella no longer exists
I assumed it was from the French "ombrelle" which provides shade (ombre). Even though an umbrella is for protection from rain (pluie) so it should probably come from parapluie.
Kindergarten teacher here. The whole point of this worksheet is to circle the pictures that start with "e" to see if they're making a connection between the letter sound and the word. Since they can't read, they use pictures. I bet you can discriminate between which words do and do not start with e. Yes, this looks silly out of context but look at it like multiple choice and you're smarter!
There are no printed directions because the teacher gives directions and actively supports students in learning. No point in written directions if the kids can't read!
edit: send so many people are asking me I want to say that the pictures are a little bit vague but that's okay. What really matters is what the student responds. If they say a word that starts with an e even if that's not what the teacher thought the picture represents then it's still correct answer. For example in the picture where the kid is lifting weights if a student said exercise or even elbow that would be a correct answer because they're creating the connection between the letter e and the sound that it makes in the word that they chose. An incorrect response for a picture that we might say is exit would be something like door. This is why it's critical to check in with students and see what they're thinking and ask them to explain their thinking so that you can get an accurate sense of their phonemic awareness.
Edit 2: also i just have to say that I haven't been paid in 2 months for anyone who cares. My district is a mess
Damn, and here I am: “Edge! MEEEEEE! Eeeeeeek! Elbow(?). Exit!” I’m as smart as a kindergartner!
EDIT: For those saying “exercise”, you’re very probably correct. I just wrote down what my brain said in the instant I saw the frame.
I thought the one picture was pointing to the eave, and I wondered how many little kids would know, “eave.” I understand the teacher’s explanation, but really it could have been done more clearly.
You showed me "exit", which I assume you meant for the last picture. Second to last, I assume, is exercise.
Edit to add: guy falling could be "emergency"?
But what about the top right picture?
Edit: After reviewing the numerous suggestions, I'm going with Ed as provided by u/Nozxx
Pay the whales, Save the teachers
See, I had a feeling that the edge of the brick wall was probably something that began with an E, only because the sheet implies it.. Reminds me of when I was seeing hearing and speech people because my 3 year old wasn't talking much yet & they kept acting like I was part of the problem because he called the picture of the comfy looking single person couch thing a chair.. Then he called it a couch... Then I'm like, okay so.. What... A sofa? They're like, how does your child not understand this is an armchair?! And later in the flashcards he didn't know what the word for sidewalk was.. We didn't have them were we lived.. And there's also a house, grass a ladybug, a person walking.. In the photo on the card and it had an arrow pointing at the ground.. But like.. It's totally fine for a toddler to not know what a sidewalk is if you never have to tell them to stay on the sidewalk, etc. Like, oh.. Your idiot kid doesn't know what eaves are? [*judgy faces*]
I thought that at first...but that's not really a house. There's no windows or doors...and those would have to be some monster flowers. I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's an eave.
1. 'Ere's some bricks and flowers for ya, guv'nor!
2. Eff off, you mother-effer!
3. Eeeeee, I've fallen off a cliff!
4. Exercising one arm to get ready for my teenage years.
5. Exit, stage left. Heavens to murgatroyd!
I’m pretty sure it’s edge … not eaves … but I got edge, exercise and exit. Don’t know the others … maybe the picture is excited??
Edited: typo exit not edit
When I was in kindergarten I drew a truck and wanted to write "USA" On the side of it, but instead wrote "ASU". The teacher thought I was a fan of Arizona state university until I pointed out that it said USA. They got worried that I was dyslexic and talked to me. It turned out that I just forgot that you write left to right.
Elevated - Slab is elevated by bricks
Elevated - Alex is elevating his broken finger
Elevated - In reference to the cliff being higher
Elevated - Allan is elevating one arm
Elevated - Sarah is leaving school to get high
And to add to this, he's clearly pointing to his head, where the brain is stored. The brain is theorized by Freud to contain not only the Ego, but the Id and Superego
Whatever happened to the egg and elephant? I know adults who don't know what an eave is! And I don't know why the child is pointing to themself! Surely it's not esophagus!
According to OP it was supposed to be edge but I find it exhaustingly confusing that it *could validly have been eave*
Like isn't that just obtuse as fuck for a kindergarten exercise
From top, left to right. My guesses are: edge, esophagus, echo, exercise and exit.
Edit. Some more pictures of the booklet and other letter’s booklets in case you are interested. https://imgur.com/a/MTW8Za8
Update: I just asked my kindergartener after he came home. From top, left to right: edge, Ed, echo, exercise, exit!
I'm pretty sure it's "Me." Its to teach different sounds E can make. Me, Edge, Echo/Scream, etc
*edit: Check the highlighted answer in the thread from the teacher. Im not exactly right, either hahah. This post 1000%needed context
This always confuses me with my kids worksheets then he tells me “it doesn’t say it has to start with the letter dad…” then I realize that my entire life is lived with assumptions and bias and everything I thought was true is a lie.
The first one is obviously Edifice, which is how kindergartners describe the front of a building. Don’t you know Ed, the kid in the yellow shirt? In the third picture, the clumsy kid is clearly falling off an Escarpment. The kid with the weights has his hand Elevated. The girl by the door is, in fact, Emily, but she likes to walk backwards and is just making her Entrance.
You're assuming this is for showing words that start with E, but I suspect it's intended to convey the type of sounds e makes:
1) EHH-dge
2) m-EEE
3) scr-EEE-am, y-EHH-ll, EHH-cho
4) EHH-xercise, w-EAY-ts
5) l-EEE-ave, EHH-xit
I know what the boy pointing is!
It's "Ed"
My sons, (one is now in 3rd, the other in kindergarten) both had "Ed" for E on their letter banners and homework, etc. I always wondered why it wasn't egg or something, but it was always a little boy pointing to himself and it said "Ed." Or one actually said "Eddie."
Hi! Kindergarten teacher here. In kindergarten we teach short vowels first.
So we have edge, Ed, echo, exercise, and exit.
This is part of the Tara West Science of Reading curriculum.
And yes I'll be honest that I didn't get these right away LOL.
There are supposed to be wrong answers. At least on my kindergarten homework. He has to circle the pictures that start with “e” and cross out the ones that do not.
It confused me at first but he knew what he was doing and explained the homework to his forty-year-old dad!
My brain immediately went accident and then I was like wait no
Eccident. There you go.
OP forgot to mention they're from New Zealand.
Ixidint.
Shit I’m dumber than a kindergartener
That's a German word, today's class is about assimilation.
it roughly translates to children's garden btw!
I know! 😁 Khaki and pajama are also Hindi words
so cool! I absolutely love loanwords. one of the reasons I had so much fun studying latin in school!
I could be wrong because I'm not a language major, but i don't think we have an English equivalent to the words chauffer and rendezvous.
As our esteemed former leader George W Bush so kindly pointed out, the French don't have a word for entrepreneur.
An entrepreneur is someone who entreprends - starts [something].
An umbrella is a contraption designed to Umbrel. the word Umbrel is dead in the English language. Isn't that interesting. The root word of umbrella no longer exists
I assumed it was from the French "ombrelle" which provides shade (ombre). Even though an umbrella is for protection from rain (pluie) so it should probably come from parapluie.
An umbrella is a device for creating an umbra (a shadow), so there is no need to invoke obsolete vocabulary.
English language is like England itself. It beats up other languages and goes through their pockets for loose words

Capstone. Child. Cliff. Weights. Leaving. Shit.
Oh please, it's with the letter E, you dummy! Not shit, Excrement!
As in, you did an excrement job on your classwork👌
Person. Man. Woman. Camera. TV. Cofvefe.
Exercise I believe
I thought the one picture was pointing to the eave, and I wondered how many little kids would know, “eave.” I understand the teacher’s explanation, but really it could have been done more clearly.
I think that one is actually existentialism
That actually makes a lot of sense, now that you’ve laid it out. I can now say, with confidence, that I am of equal intellect of a 5 year old
i must not be because i thought... \- concrete \- middle finger \- cliff \- dumbbell \- door no E's to be found
And that day no E's were given.
Thanks for teaching you are a real hero.
I appreciate what you mean, but no I'm not. I'm a person who takes their job seriously and does it well. I also haven't been paid in 2 months.
That’s Eric. You guys don’t know Eric?
Why does it look like Eric has 6 fingers and is flipping us off?
Eric has Engaged his Extra finger
perhaps one could say Extra Extremity
Excellent
Extravagantly Excellent
Exquisitely Extravagantly Excellent
Ecstatically, Egregiously, Enormously, Electrically, Empoweringly, Excellent.
If he had 6 fingers, he wouldn't have a middle finger to flip us off with
Good point. He'd have two middle fingers to flip us off with.
Really, it's the use of negative space to flip us off. Eric is an excellent expressionist.
So he’d have to use that one. Left middle.
Not as well as I know Dave
These are the Dave's I know I know, these are the Dave's I know
Some of us are Davids, but most of us are Daves
They all have their own hands, but they come from different moms!
Totally voting for neighbor dave.
Your vote is greatly appreciated!
Dave’s not here…
Dave's not here man.
No, I’m Dave.
Who?
Could that be Easy-E in his childhood?
Eriq LaSalle lettin that Soul Glo
It’s just Monday morning and I’ve already flunked a kindergarten assignment.
I got 1 out of 6 and I’m not sure if that is an exit Edit: bruh is that third one really ethnic? No one else in the comments has gotten it. Wtf…
You showed me "exit", which I assume you meant for the last picture. Second to last, I assume, is exercise. Edit to add: guy falling could be "emergency"?
I think it’s the “edge” of the cliff
I thought that brick wall one was supposed to be "edge".
I think that is eaves. How a kindergartener would know that is beyond me.
No, eaves are the edges of a roof. Clearly that’s the “ehimney.”
Thank you I’m cackling over here like a loon
i live to serve
Similarly, it's probably "egress," not "exit"
I thought it was "escape"
this says a lot about you
This says a lot about society
Pretty sure it's 'Elementary school'. Might be wrong.
Edge, echo, exercise, exit
But what about the top right picture? Edit: After reviewing the numerous suggestions, I'm going with Ed as provided by u/Nozxx Pay the whales, Save the teachers
Well duh, that’s Evan. How’d you not know that
Haha, I also assumed the kid’s name was Evan.
Ethiopian
That’s the first thing I thought!! But by the jawline, maybe Eritrean….but by the brow - maybe Egyptian.
Ethnicity? That’s why there are two “edges”, to make anti-CRT parents real edgy.
Honestly with how absurd the others are I could see them using edge twice lol
Nah. The cliff one is what you say when you fall off... "Eeeeeeee"
I thought the cliff one might be Echo
GEEeeeronEeeemooo!
It’s eave
Because most five year olds are familiar with architectural and building construction terms..
See, I had a feeling that the edge of the brick wall was probably something that began with an E, only because the sheet implies it.. Reminds me of when I was seeing hearing and speech people because my 3 year old wasn't talking much yet & they kept acting like I was part of the problem because he called the picture of the comfy looking single person couch thing a chair.. Then he called it a couch... Then I'm like, okay so.. What... A sofa? They're like, how does your child not understand this is an armchair?! And later in the flashcards he didn't know what the word for sidewalk was.. We didn't have them were we lived.. And there's also a house, grass a ladybug, a person walking.. In the photo on the card and it had an arrow pointing at the ground.. But like.. It's totally fine for a toddler to not know what a sidewalk is if you never have to tell them to stay on the sidewalk, etc. Like, oh.. Your idiot kid doesn't know what eaves are? [*judgy faces*]
I thought that at first...but that's not really a house. There's no windows or doors...and those would have to be some monster flowers. I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's an eave.
Edifice. It’s a stone edifice. Important to drill those architectural terms in early.
I think it's "echo" because he's shouting but edge also works.
Oh he is! I thought he was screaming because he fell off the cliff.
The bottom left is an escarpment, a very common kindergarten word.
Existential crisis, I think
I think the one with the cliff is echo
I thought it was “elbow.”
1. 'Ere's some bricks and flowers for ya, guv'nor! 2. Eff off, you mother-effer! 3. Eeeeee, I've fallen off a cliff! 4. Exercising one arm to get ready for my teenage years. 5. Exit, stage left. Heavens to murgatroyd!
Exit, Exercise, Eves of a house, I think the painting is supposed to be an Easel but they drew it badly...
I think the picture is “echo.”
Wow. I thought the person was falling off the Edge of a cliff, but your answer makes much more sense.
I’m pretty sure it’s edge … not eaves … but I got edge, exercise and exit. Don’t know the others … maybe the picture is excited?? Edited: typo exit not edit
He's base jumping dude. It stands for EXTREME!!!!
I mean to be fair, could a Monday really be anything else?
thanks for the new show idea: are you smarter than a kindergartener?
> already flunked a kindergarten assignment Think I've got it figured out: 1: Ee 2: Exit/Egress (Or: Eave) 3: Fuck knows (Or: Ebony, Esophagus, Eager, Ethnic, Emotion, "Eff off") 4: Edge (Or: Echo, Exclaim) 5: Exercise 6: Expedition (Or: Explore, Exit)
Most of those are not kindergarten words lmao.
"fuck" is definitely something a kindergartner knows, and would say at the intersection of inappropriate and hilarious.
I believe #3 is “Me” Edit: ok you guys are making me laugh way too hard with these replies!
Maybe it is "Me" spelled backwards. "Em", done, problem solved.
When I was in kindergarten I drew a truck and wanted to write "USA" On the side of it, but instead wrote "ASU". The teacher thought I was a fan of Arizona state university until I pointed out that it said USA. They got worried that I was dyslexic and talked to me. It turned out that I just forgot that you write left to right.
bottom left: existential crisis
Aka EEEEEeeeeeEEEEEEeEeE.
REEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
E is for Edvard Munch?
Ending your life
Echo
Elevated - Slab is elevated by bricks Elevated - Alex is elevating his broken finger Elevated - In reference to the cliff being higher Elevated - Allan is elevating one arm Elevated - Sarah is leaving school to get high
Someone get this person into a gifted and talented kindergarten class!
Yes, it goes into the square-hole.
This video makes me laugh-cry.
Elevated - you on a higher plane of existence to understand this
Stop it. You can't be right.
Must be 4:20.
The second one is clearly referring to the ego, the freudian concept that ties psychological phenomena to a sense of personal identity
And to add to this, he's clearly pointing to his head, where the brain is stored. The brain is theorized by Freud to contain not only the Ego, but the Id and Superego
“I” is for “id”
"S" is for "Sigmund Frued's inane theories about sexuality"
It’s not insane, I love my mother wife very much thank you!
hittin that Oedipussy
Geez how do kids not understand this already?
Little bastard is flipping me off
E for explicit?
E is for Eff you
Surprised I had to scroll this far to find somebody else who noticed that
Seriously. Little fucker is trying to start something
Edgelord
Ah that's it! E is for Eff off!
Whatever happened to the egg and elephant? I know adults who don't know what an eave is! And I don't know why the child is pointing to themself! Surely it's not esophagus!
Hi. I'm that adult.
X2
18 and I just learned what an eave is today
What’s an eave
noun: eave *the part of a roof that meets or overhangs the walls of a building.* I didn’t know either.
I think it’s supposed to be edge
According to OP it was supposed to be edge but I find it exhaustingly confusing that it *could validly have been eave* Like isn't that just obtuse as fuck for a kindergarten exercise
That makes more sense than entombed
Edge, Ethiopian, Edge again, Exercise, Exit
Pretty sure bottom left is echo.
From top, left to right. My guesses are: edge, esophagus, echo, exercise and exit. Edit. Some more pictures of the booklet and other letter’s booklets in case you are interested. https://imgur.com/a/MTW8Za8 Update: I just asked my kindergartener after he came home. From top, left to right: edge, Ed, echo, exercise, exit!
I highly doubt they teach about a esophagus in kindergarten Why so many likes it's not even spelled correctly
Yeah that was a stretch. I agree with another comment that it’s likely emotion. Nonetheless very hard to know what it is.
Unless it's to do with how a letter sounds and it's 'Me' ?
I'm pretty sure it's "Me." Its to teach different sounds E can make. Me, Edge, Echo/Scream, etc *edit: Check the highlighted answer in the thread from the teacher. Im not exactly right, either hahah. This post 1000%needed context
I'm so dumb, I thought that was a Chimn**ey**
I thought it was the edge of a roof. The facia board, if you will as part of the soffit.
Old suburban lady here- thought it was “eaves.”
Good call Big Daddy.
This always confuses me with my kids worksheets then he tells me “it doesn’t say it has to start with the letter dad…” then I realize that my entire life is lived with assumptions and bias and everything I thought was true is a lie.
If that’s the case, there certainly seems to be an emotion/paper/toner crisis going on if that’s all the emotion we’re getting
Plus that kid is flipping us off.
The passive aggressive smile says it all
Eave, Evan, escarpment, elevate, egress
Extrovert for the pointing kid, elope for the last one
The dude pointing at himself is just an Eric. He looks like an eric
I said Edward, but this boys an Eric through and through.
It's probably ebony.
I was thinking “ethnic”
Could be, it's definitely not esophagus lol
My first thought was Ethiopian
[удалено]
It's hard to tell what finger that is. Maybe "eff you" ?
Definitely echo but I could not think of it. It looks more like suicide to me, these pictures are stupid as fuck
Ha I saw a kid falling off a cliff and thought ‘Emergency’. Echo makes way more sense.
A kid learning E is a letter is probably not gonna get any of those lol
Edge, Me (for long e), echo, exercise, and exit. That's my guess
Eaves
My brain went: elementary school, Edward, everybody dies, EGHNN, exit.
Ed....ward....
Do not
I'm clearly not understanding this reference
Faster creates chimera out of his daughter and her dog. Main character is amazed as it can speak. He realizes the truth when she says "Big Brother".
NO! NO! NOT ALLOWED
Escarpment?
I went with eaves…
Efrican Emerican
The children are instructed to say the words aloud in a South African accent.
South Efrican
Ethiopian ?
I think it’s “me”
thought so too
The first one is obviously Edifice, which is how kindergartners describe the front of a building. Don’t you know Ed, the kid in the yellow shirt? In the third picture, the clumsy kid is clearly falling off an Escarpment. The kid with the weights has his hand Elevated. The girl by the door is, in fact, Emily, but she likes to walk backwards and is just making her Entrance.
I have no awards to give. Thank you for my first laugh of the the day...properly out loud (tea safely in my stomach just before reading this)
You're assuming this is for showing words that start with E, but I suspect it's intended to convey the type of sounds e makes: 1) EHH-dge 2) m-EEE 3) scr-EEE-am, y-EHH-ll, EHH-cho 4) EHH-xercise, w-EAY-ts 5) l-EEE-ave, EHH-xit
Five could also be L-EEE-ave
I know what the boy pointing is! It's "Ed" My sons, (one is now in 3rd, the other in kindergarten) both had "Ed" for E on their letter banners and homework, etc. I always wondered why it wasn't egg or something, but it was always a little boy pointing to himself and it said "Ed." Or one actually said "Eddie."
Where’s elephant? Egg? Elbow?
Eavestrough, existentialism, edge, exercise, exit. Common sense, really.
It's not exit. It's egress. Cmon. This is kindergarten. Exit is too easy.
IS THAT KID FLIPPING ME OFF
i would never be able to read this way, i would be dumb as a brick, B is for this is a bitch to read
Hi! Kindergarten teacher here. In kindergarten we teach short vowels first. So we have edge, Ed, echo, exercise, and exit. This is part of the Tara West Science of Reading curriculum. And yes I'll be honest that I didn't get these right away LOL.
I'm sure it's French. It's école, étudiant, étonné, exercice (school, student, surprised, exercise). I'm francophone and it made sense to me.
How do you pronounce "Let's Practice" with a proper Parisian accent? Is the "t" silent?
There are supposed to be wrong answers. At least on my kindergarten homework. He has to circle the pictures that start with “e” and cross out the ones that do not. It confused me at first but he knew what he was doing and explained the homework to his forty-year-old dad!
Are you guys dumb? 1. Exterior wall 2. Electric Yellow Shirt 3. Escarpment, would be the obvious one here. 4. Exersize (I mean come on) 5. Exit
