SCHOOL

Spring is finally in the air and I can tell not by the barely nice weather but because my kids want to stay out late playing on a school night.  It is hard enough to get the homework done when we are all cozied in on a winter night.  But by this time of the year I have to admit I am kind of tired of homework too.  Although you would think by now we would have it down to a science.

Tonight ... reviewed all items in 6th grade agenda.  Changes needed on map homework.  Had to help come up with answers to "critical thinking" problem.  This meant I actually had to read the entire social studies chapter.  M helped study for English and thank goodness because I really don't know the rules for a colon or a semi-colon for that matter.  I think there was some help needed with math but we forgot to do that.

Then the first grader.  He actually did his homework sheet all by himself :)  We did not enter spelling words into the iPad as we faithfully do every week.  We will do that tomorrow but will already be one day behind schedule in order to learn the correct spelling for Friday's test.  I hope the words are easy.

I'm not sure who looks forward to summer break more, me or them.
