My five year-old’s homework includes identifying consonant-vowel-consonant words (like “jet” or “bag”) based on pictures. I am stumped what this one could be. (“Hen” already appears on the sheet.) - ThreadSky

Sow

roncline33.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah, from "feed the chickens" - a common phrase when this boomer was five.

polkadotzebra.bsky.social•22 days ago

Chick? jfc...

this is dumb.

DEI doesn't quite fit, does it?

Seeds?

j9-on.bsky.social•21 days ago

Need to see the other "hen". Maybe it should be something else. 🤔

Eat doesn't work. Starts with 2 vowels. Fed doesn't work because they're eating. 😃 Love puzzles & thought exercises.😁

New Math - but now with the alphabet!

markpline.bsky.social•22 days ago

If they mean CVC pronunciation, not spelling, then it's "peck".

tbapple.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed ?

sandy-o.bsky.social•22 days ago

Pet?

danancona.bsky.social•22 days ago

Must be FAD, as in "trump take egg, so new fad is home chickens"

jimpoco.bsky.social•22 days ago

hc1001.bsky.social•22 days ago

Peck?

boreynolds.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed? As in The farmer fed the chicks. I’m stumped too. That’s the only thing I can come up with.

kkmortier.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed maybe?

lawless523.bsky.social•22 days ago

Chick? Duck? Who knows?

szstrw.bsky.social•22 days ago

Go with a long shot like "nom" or lol".

pbump.com•22 days ago

Consensus is SOW or FED which is good enough. Thanks all!

sillythecat.bsky.social•22 days ago

Kind of cheating to crowd source your kid's homework? 🤷‍♂️

benfranklinskite.bsky.social•22 days ago

Not seed or feed ?

kbethany.bsky.social•22 days ago

Weird. I thought it was kid for the girl doing the feeding!

amandavicmason.bsky.social•22 days ago

To sow is to plant

somesteve.bsky.social•22 days ago

Upon closer inspection, fed hen makes way more sense.

Well, unless those chicks and hen are disrupting her planting process.

somesteve.bsky.social•22 days ago

If push comes to shove, you can use "bow."

lonelycicada.bsky.social•22 days ago

No, silly, it’s “ass” because that one chick is presenting its ass to the other one.

lilyisacat5.bsky.social•22 days ago

Farm girl here, fed.

pbump.com•22 days ago

PET or PEN are late additions.

visualizingbroadway.com•22 days ago

Have you considered WUT?

somesteve.bsky.social•22 days ago

hen

taojonesing.bsky.social•22 days ago

I agree, the large chicken is a hen.

somesteve.bsky.social•22 days ago

it's already on the sheet, apparently

taojonesing.bsky.social•22 days ago

Oh, well.

aescruggs.bsky.social•22 days ago

Kid?

HUH?

I love it. Crowd sourced homework help ❤️

yeetski.bsky.social•22 days ago

Gotta be Trump Take Egg

leora52.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’d go with pet

themeanprogressive.bsky.social•22 days ago

I also came up with fed but the past tense confuses it.

citizenstx.bsky.social•22 days ago

Cannot be "sow" because that is about planting seeds, not feeding it to animals.

modoubtingthomas.bsky.social•22 days ago

Those are the new PET chickens we are all supposed to get to make eggs cheaper.

mattgierke.bsky.social•22 days ago

Would “peck” be against the rules/instructions?

susansidell.bsky.social•22 days ago

Maybe this can replace wordle?

susansidell.bsky.social•22 days ago

Can I also say something about homework that early? Is it education or training to ignore work/life balance?

icogitate.bsky.social•22 days ago

😆

karenrobz.bsky.social•21 days ago

if they're already learning letter-sound teams maybe CHICK

landow.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed?

germancucumber1.bsky.social•22 days ago

seed?

morey000.bsky.social•22 days ago

Four letters- but “Peck”?

picklesofthecanoe.bsky.social•22 days ago

How about 'fed'?

kathleenduggan.bsky.social•22 days ago

Bow

eggomoggin.bsky.social•22 days ago

Chick

morabeets.bsky.social•22 days ago

If it's FED, I'm surprised it wasn't cut out.

rikabel69.bsky.social•22 days ago

Cum

katvanzan.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nom. This answer is N-O-M.

jennifersenior.bsky.social•22 days ago

Nut? (Seems to be about the food. [Also, it’s truly incomprehensible.])

somuchblue.bsky.social•22 days ago

Kid

janicen.bsky.social•22 days ago

feed?

jolynnd.bsky.social•22 days ago

Maybe "fed"?

oh-that-karen-f.bsky.social•22 days ago

Too late to add Cluck?

daniele-gaither.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ashamed to say I didn’t get any of those! 🐣

ruralcadem.bsky.social•22 days ago

Also, maybe "peck?"

helenkennedy.bsky.social•22 days ago

Or CHICK but is that too many letters?

ruralcadem.bsky.social•22 days ago

Better hope their teacher doesn't follow this account, b/c BUSTED for Dad Doing Homework! ;)

Iconic WaPo columnist turns to social media for help with his 5-year old's homework.

arguynn.bsky.social•22 days ago

Sow??

jennyrae.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed?

gsds3.bsky.social•22 days ago

Took me ages to work out that ‘fed’ had meanings other than short-hand for a central bank, which seemed an unlikely part of a 5 year olds homework

dutchtreat.bsky.social•22 days ago

She also seems a bit young to be working for the FBI.

cheesyone.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed, maybe?

ldionne.bsky.social•22 days ago

Peck?

tripowkow.bsky.social•22 days ago

cbourne.bsky.social•22 days ago

Teacher here… FED.

cliff-tarrance.bsky.social•22 days ago

Duck?

princessmom122.bsky.social•22 days ago

Fed?

phatnote.bsky.social•22 days ago

Pet?

ryanmichael80.bsky.social•22 days ago

Wait til you see the new 2nd grade math!

kbv2219.bsky.social•22 days ago

I don’t think sow or fed would be on a 5-year-old’s homework (W isn’t serving as a consonant in this instance, the girl’s feeding, not sowing, FED is an irregular past tense form). The one CVC that makes sense, it seems to me, is HEN, since that’s the animal eating. Maybe the other HEN is wrong?
