A Silent e

Adam asked Nolan's teacher, Mrs. Pitzer, how he's doing in school and is there anything we need to work with him on at home. She said she's amazed at the things he knows. The other day they were going over how to write sentences. Right now they're learning to write words how they sound rather than how they are actually spelt. She wrote, "I skat" on the board and asked the class what the sentence needed at the end of "skat." The answer she was looking for was, "a period." Nolan said, "a silent e." He was right, may not have been the answer she was expecting, but he was definitely right!
