Shit I’m dumber than a kindergartener


devilsephiroth

That's a German word, today's class is about assimilation.


nachtlibelle

it roughly translates to children's garden btw!


devilsephiroth

I know! 😁 Khaki and pajama are also Hindi words


nachtlibelle

so cool! I absolutely love loanwords. one of the reasons I had so much fun studying latin in school!


devilsephiroth

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.


Jaded-Combination-20

As our esteemed former leader George W Bush so kindly pointed out, the French don't have a word for entrepreneur.


GreenBoobedHarpFlag

An entrepreneur is someone who entreprends - starts [something].


devilsephiroth

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


GreenBoobedHarpFlag

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.


Pulaski540

An umbrella is a device for creating an umbra (a shadow), so there is no need to invoke obsolete vocabulary.


Marmotskinner

English language is like England itself. It beats up other languages and goes through their pockets for loose words

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


Wise-Statistician172

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.


crayolamitch

Capstone. Child. Cliff. Weights. Leaving. Shit.


BlackKn1ght

Oh please, it's with the letter E, you dummy! Not shit, Excrement!


Ill_Journal_Here

As in, you did an excrement job on your classwork👌


PsychicSPider95

Person. Man. Woman. Camera. TV. Cofvefe.


CarlosFer2201

Exercise I believe


lechatsage

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.


ArbysArmedForces

I think that one is actually existentialism


kingof_vanisle7

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


Zoloir

i must not be because i thought... \- concrete \- middle finger \- cliff \- dumbbell \- door no E's to be found


[deleted]

And that day no E's were given.


MEanPenguin

Thanks for teaching you are a real hero.


philos_albatross

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.


C45EY

That’s Eric. You guys don’t know Eric?


HaniiPuppy

Why does it look like Eric has 6 fingers and is flipping us off?


PanthersDevils

Eric has Engaged his Extra finger

m33gzilla-3690

If he had 6 fingers, he wouldn't have a middle finger to flip us off with


e_j_white

Good point. He'd have two middle fingers to flip us off with.


Onemeanrug

Really, it's the use of negative space to flip us off. Eric is an excellent expressionist.


traker998

So he’d have to use that one. Left middle.

It’s just Monday morning and I’ve already flunked a kindergarten assignment.


Takenforganite

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…


Lonely_Albatross_722

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"?


nsanity27

I think it’s the “edge” of the cliff


symmetrical_kettle

I thought that brick wall one was supposed to be "edge".


no_mudbug

I think that is eaves. How a kindergartener would know that is beyond me.


TheRealSugarbat

No, eaves are the edges of a roof. Clearly that’s the “ehimney.”


Apprehensive-Mango23

Thank you I’m cackling over here like a loon


TheRealSugarbat

i live to serve


i_have_seen_ur_death

Similarly, it's probably "egress," not "exit"


Fast_Mechanic_5434

I thought it was "escape"


sikanrong101

this says a lot about you


thekiltedpir8

This says a lot about society


LetsBlastOffThisRock

Pretty sure it's 'Elementary school'. Might be wrong.


timaydawg11

Edge, echo, exercise, exit


Mean-Net7330

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


Sund3rk

Well duh, that’s Evan. How’d you not know that


DraftLevel28

Haha, I also assumed the kid’s name was Evan.


Please5

Ethiopian


Electrical-Leave4787

That’s the first thing I thought!! But by the jawline, maybe Eritrean….but by the brow - maybe Egyptian.


AppleParasol

Ethnicity? That’s why there are two “edges”, to make anti-CRT parents real edgy.


nsanity27

Honestly with how absurd the others are I could see them using edge twice lol


Natural_Expert6158

Nah. The cliff one is what you say when you fall off... "Eeeeeeee"


FilmRelatedName

I thought the cliff one might be Echo


uslashalreadytaken

GEEeeeronEeeemooo!


Questo417

It’s eave


Repubs_suck

Because most five year olds are familiar with architectural and building construction terms..


britainknee

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*]


ringwraith6

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.


pseudocultist

Edifice. It’s a stone edifice. Important to drill those architectural terms in early.


[deleted]

I think it's "echo" because he's shouting but edge also works.


FlabbyFishFlaps

Oh he is! I thought he was screaming because he fell off the cliff.


The_Nick_OfTime

The bottom left is an escarpment, a very common kindergarten word.


jalepinocheezit

Existential crisis, I think


enickma1221

I think the one with the cliff is echo


Jerrys_Wife

I thought it was “elbow.”


Zolo49

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!


blaghart

Exit, Exercise, Eves of a house, I think the painting is supposed to be an Easel but they drew it badly...


HeyCaptain30

I think the picture is “echo.”


neoprenewedgie

Wow. I thought the person was falling off the Edge of a cliff, but your answer makes much more sense.


Automatic-Recipe4688

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


Bananaginz

He's base jumping dude. It stands for EXTREME!!!!


Zestyclose-Link-5914

I mean to be fair, could a Monday really be anything else?


fricti

thanks for the new show idea: are you smarter than a kindergartener?


PolishedVodka

> 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)


takesSubsLiterally

Most of those are not kindergarten words lmao.


exzyle2k

"fuck" is definitely something a kindergartner knows, and would say at the intersection of inappropriate and hilarious.


TheElusiveHolograph

I believe #3 is “Me” Edit: ok you guys are making me laugh way too hard with these replies!


muffpatty

Maybe it is "Me" spelled backwards. "Em", done, problem solved.


Sobriot

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.

tinuuuu

Yes, it goes into the square-hole.

Chubby_Bub

Elevated - you on a higher plane of existence to understand this


HCLlama

Stop it. You can't be right.


thadtheking

Must be 4:20.


Poynsid

The second one is clearly referring to the ego, the freudian concept that ties psychological phenomena to a sense of personal identity


JustADumb

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


SpencerLass

“I” is for “id”


JustADumb

"S" is for "Sigmund Frued's inane theories about sexuality"

fishyfantastico

Ah that's it! E is for Eff off!


EcelecticDragon

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!


GrunchWeefer

Hi. I'm that adult.


zeduk

X2


JoJoisaGoGo

18 and I just learned what an eave is today


humblyhacking

What’s an eave


coolbrothanksbro

noun: eave *the part of a roof that meets or overhangs the walls of a building.* I didn’t know either.


Joesh7

I think it’s supposed to be edge


NKNKN

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


SaltedHamHocks

That makes more sense than entombed


TwoMasterAccounts

Edge, Ethiopian, Edge again, Exercise, Exit


SaorAlba138

Pretty sure bottom left is echo.


asuka_fe

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!


Tall-Cantaloupe608

I highly doubt they teach about a esophagus in kindergarten Why so many likes it's not even spelled correctly


asuka_fe

Yeah that was a stretch. I agree with another comment that it’s likely emotion. Nonetheless very hard to know what it is.


Skallenvarg

Unless it's to do with how a letter sounds and it's 'Me' ?


bigdaddygibson

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


original_name37

I'm so dumb, I thought that was a Chimn**ey**


markwmke

I thought it was the edge of a roof. The facia board, if you will as part of the soffit.


Final_Candidate_7603

Old suburban lady here- thought it was “eaves.”


Skallenvarg

Good call Big Daddy.


Mikeismycodename

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.


klnvc

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


BoozeWitch

Plus that kid is flipping us off.


Zestyclose-Link-5914

The passive aggressive smile says it all


Andychives

Eave, Evan, escarpment, elevate, egress


Dvscape

Extrovert for the pointing kid, elope for the last one


Affectionate-Cut-795

The dude pointing at himself is just an Eric. He looks like an eric


route54

I said Edward, but this boys an Eric through and through.


mtdunca

It's probably ebony.


[deleted]

I was thinking “ethnic”


mtdunca

Could be, it's definitely not esophagus lol


[deleted]

My first thought was Ethiopian


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMagarity

It's hard to tell what finger that is. Maybe "eff you" ?


Dutchwells

Definitely echo but I could not think of it. It looks more like suicide to me, these pictures are stupid as fuck


zeussays

Ha I saw a kid falling off a cliff and thought ‘Emergency’. Echo makes way more sense.


OkInvestigator4220

A kid learning E is a letter is probably not gonna get any of those lol


ShieldOfFury

Edge, Me (for long e), echo, exercise, and exit. That's my guess


Superb_Raccoon

Eaves


route54

My brain went: elementary school, Edward, everybody dies, EGHNN, exit.

Ethiopian ?


AVTikwid

I think it’s “me”


leeg-hoofd

thought so too


Mikesaidit36

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.


somuchstrange

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)


deelowe

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


platonicgryphon

Five could also be L-EEE-ave


Lyaera319

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."


[deleted]

Where’s elephant? Egg? Elbow?


slavicbhoy

Eavestrough, existentialism, edge, exercise, exit. Common sense, really.


hyenacry

It's not exit. It's egress. Cmon. This is kindergarten. Exit is too easy.


AveryhandsomeChilean

IS THAT KID FLIPPING ME OFF


CommadorVic20

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


[deleted]

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.


ThatFangit

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.


greenmtnfiddler

How do you pronounce "Let's Practice" with a proper Parisian accent? Is the "t" silent?


Drx7575

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!


Crimsonclover223

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
