DS1 is 5 and in K. I am really trying to work with him on his grammar, but he consistently says things like "Can me and so-and-so have a snack?" To be fair to him, I hear adults make similar mistakes all the time. These mistakes are also made constantly in children's programming. But, that doesn't make it acceptable. It just drives me bonkers. DH thinks I'm nuts for caring.
The word "me" is one of his sight words at the moment. Yesterday, he came home with a worksheet on which he had to write a sentence using the word me. His sentence was "Me and my mom play." His teacher put a smiley face on the worksheet. Would I be nuts to bring it up? I was thinking of asking her if they would be addressing grammar in their lessons and saying that I was concerned about his grammar and that we work on it at home, but I was hoping they'd address it at school as well. Then, I could bring up the worksheet as an example to illustrate my concern. WDYT?
