Looks like 8 to me:
mop
clock
blocks
box
doll
top
hog
lock
Unless she is not counting doll, but I can't see why not. The correct pronunciation is doll with a short o sound.

I see 8 as well. Pronouncing Doll with a long O sound doesn't even sound right.
How strange. Ask the teacher about it tomorrow.

Re: kindergarten homework.....and I need help
I get 8 answers also. However, doll has a different short "o" sound than mop.

Maybe she's not counting 'mop' because she already listed it in the instructions.

That's what I'm thinking also. It should have been more clear in the directions.
Or, doll has more of a al sound? But that's streaching it.

Re: kindergarten homework.....and I need help
mop /m?p/ [mop]
clock /kl?k/[klok]
block (blok)
box /b?ks/ [boks]
doll /d?l/[dol]
top /t?p/ [top]
hog /h?g, h?g/ [hawg, hog]
lock1 /l?k/ [lok]
These are excerpts from Dictionary.com
According to that site, block is not the same as the rest.
I thought hog might have been the outcast, since it can be pronounced "hawg", but a valid pronunciation matches top. Who knew?
ETA: the pronunciation symbols don't show up correctly in the post.... even though you can't see the symbols here, you can see that block is different than the others...

Re: kindergarten homework.....and I need help
There are definitely 8. However, it's possible the teacher just counted wrong (hey, we make mistakes  ) or she wasn't including mop.
