I think the answer should have been "pet" or “pen” – since there is a fence pictured and all other answers are 3 letters with a vowel in the center (otherwise I would have guessed “bunny” since kindergartners do not necessarily know “ies” as a plural in bunnies. I was a teacher of this age group and I would have been WRONG on all counts! I am so glad I taught when I did, I do not understand the “new” education…especially the math.

"Tap out the word..."?? What the heck does that mean?

Good guesses so far, but they're all wrong.

Well, we know it's a 'T' word so I'll go with - too cute!

I read about this yesterday. I like how the teacher seemingly accepted multiple responses. I thought of several answers, but not the one they were supposedly looking for.

Ok, I totally admit I cheated and Google searched it and all I can say is I have never been more glad that I am old and don't have to worry about school anymore . . . yikes!

I believe it means to tap out the sounds in the word to figure out how to spell it. For example, with "tub" you would tap three times for each of the sounds that make up the word (t-u-b).

I saw the answer. It does not make sense. All of the words would start with a 't".

The answer does not have to be "the first letter." As a Primary substitute, I could not believe what the "K" classes were being taught; hence this confusing worksheet. Due to the lack of continuity in learning first letter "T," the teacher should find another handout.

You have to know how to tap out words, syllables, vowels and such. To me it's kind of a confusing way to learn. But who am I?

I have no clue why you would want to confuse kindergarten kids!! You're supposed to engage them & get them interested in learning. This is not the way to do it!!
