Oh spelling words

Today students took one of their many spelling tests.
There have been words in the past that consist of amusing mini words within a word.

There were two mini amusing words in this weeks vocabulary words:

1. Associate
Just look at the first three letters...now imagine having middle schoolers spell that word
Student: "Miss what are the first three letters"
Me: "you are sitting on it"

2. Quantity
Student: "what are the last two syllables in that word"
Me (without thinking, says the last two syllables out loud): "look of disgust toward that student"
HAPPE SPELLING
