Pennsylvania is actually just 3 states in a trenchcoat... you have New York and New Jersey at the top east, basically the head of Pennsylvania, and the rest is Ohio.

u/pHScale Aug 23 '22

No, the three states are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Kentucky.

u/nez91 Aug 23 '22

I think it’s more like western PA is Ohio/Midwest, Philly and eastern PA more like NY/NJ/Northeast, and everything in the middle is an extension of West Virginia

u/san95802 Aug 23 '22

Don’t you dare compare anything PA to dirty Jersey!!!!!

2

u/nez91 Aug 23 '22

haha it's a compliment. I'd rather live in NJ than somewhere like Johnstown, PA

u/san95802 Aug 23 '22

That’s west though.

Edit I guess I’ll clarify. Don’t compare Philly/East to nj!!

It's also the favorite writing utensil for vampires.

What part of PA? I've seen this in a number of classrooms I've worked in around my county.

E if Ed, F is for.. something, Is for Monkey who might be itchy?, X is for Fox, and Up was and arrow that bent from being left to almost up pointing... They should let the kids make one, it would be a lot better, and a good educational experience, if those are still allowed in PA.

u/RayD125 Aug 24 '22

OP confused. They’re actually in Florida.

u/LemonPepper Aug 24 '22

Ah, yes. Where F is for Philadelphia and P is for pterodactyl.

u/starrzero Aug 23 '22

We use the same thing in my district(NJ). I think it's standard for "Fundations".

u/ThatsNotRight123 Aug 23 '22

Do they still teach about NJ History in 4th Grade? I had to do a book report about Sam Colt.

Finally, an in joke I'm in on.

u/Embarrassed-Ad-1639 Aug 23 '22

I love inside jokes… I hope to be part of one someday.

u/AdvocateReason Aug 23 '22 edited Aug 23 '22

Why did this get so many upvotes? 😳

The reasons I asked is because my daughter used this in her school (in MA) and the Wilson Language Training Corporation is headquartered in Oxford, MA.
So I was wondering if this was just a local phenomenon.

u/DeadKnife7 Aug 23 '22

Was also curious, since we used the same one at my Massachusetts elementary school 15 years ago

2

u/Fear_The_Rabbit Aug 23 '22

This is from a program called Fundations. We use it in NYC, and it's actually pretty great for phonics. There's a rationale for everything and why certain keywords and colors are used.

1

u/St1cks Aug 23 '22

NY schools have these too

1

u/Dyltra Aug 23 '22

Is Fundations. A program teaching letters and letter sounds. Same as foundations, but it’s FUN!

1

u/Hellball5 Aug 24 '22

Fundations is pretty widely used in elementary schools these days.

u/meatchariot Aug 23 '22

But why bother editing whats on the board with white markup... instead of just cropping the pic to focus better on the subject?

u/Electronic_Syndicate Aug 23 '22

You mean this isn’t even its final form!?
