I was shocked and awed yesterday...when I was able to get the little man to sit down and do his homework, without any footdragging or complaining.
The result of my Compiler's silly homework, of course totally useless since I won't take the final test (a bit lazy)
On Friday she brought home her Homework Notebook with her first assignments, which she had a week to complete.
The assignments are: Make a sign for your room that includes your name. Write or dictate a list of your friends. Sing the alphabet song with a friend or family member. Read books about going to school. Draw a picture of your family.
Anne is trying to concentrate on a project she has due for her on-line class while Wrangler insists on monitoring her work.
I don't remember my parents sitting down and doing hours of homework with us in elementary school.
When I was older my dad would sit down with me for our nightly crying and yelling session, referred to by my mother as "math tutoring". I have a lot of my dad's impatience when it comes to teaching. Gad.
But, back to my original point, why the hell do teachers pile so much homework on the kids!? It turns into a huge punishment for the whole family, taking away from what evenings are supposed to be: quiet and relaxing family time, time to unwind and get away from the hustle-bustle of the day.
I am blessed that J is such a hard worker. He rarely gives me attitude about work- be it school or chores. T... requires more intervention in this department.

Assignment 2. Homework. A great stock shot is waiting to be taken! tag with cwd 522.
Finally, eh?
I'm so terribly sorry about not uploading for such a long time. I've been reeeeaaally busy, I went abroed twice, and I think you'll soon see the pictures I took there.
Well, this photo actually gives quite a good image of what I've been doing. I'm currently studying at two schools, because I went a little crazy on the studying thing last year and sort of finished 3 of 6 tests that I normally should have taken next spring. So I'm taking three subjects at my old school and 6 in the new "high school" or whatever you want to call it (different school system). So I'm busy! I'm busy a lot these days...I have the feeling that I'm using the sentence: "I can't, I have to study" waaay to much.
And that's actually the reason I haven't uploaded. "I couldn't, I had to study". What a lame excuse.
Anyway.
My cousin Hildur and her sister HerdÃs went to Vietnam last week. And guess what? Hildur let me babysit her camera! She's not coming back until december!!! It's so great :D
It's a Canon EOS 400D. That actually doesn't tell me much, but maybe it rings somebody else's bells.
I have also not been able to resist looking a bit (or a lot) in Hildur's book, How to photograph absolutely everything. Now THAT's a fun book to read. Or look at :)
Thanks a million, Hildur!
Well I've written way too much so I'm shutting up right now. I have a lot of pictures to upload!
Homework was a part of the learning process when we were kids and it certainly still is today. Especially with younger children, we play a large part in holding them accountable for getting their homework done…and done correctly.
We adore Courtney so much. So after homework with Abbie, the two of them decided to draw each other a chalk picture. Courtney drew what she would like to do with Abbie someday, go camping!! Looks so fun. Abbie drew a peace sign and love and hearts and I love you and things like that. Then we ran to Target and picked up a few odds and ends and it was a good day.
At Phillips we assign homework on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Parents expect and look for it. We had a very busy day today. It was a testing day. We started out the day with a math quiz. We also took a big reading test. Because the kids had worked so hard, I decided to go easy on the homework. I wrote this assignment on the board, and asked students to write it in their planners. Two of my students approached me with worried looks on their faces.
"Ms. Day," one of them said, "I don't have that book." She was totally serious. It was one of those teacher moments when I thought I had given clear directions, but obviously I need to do some clarification.
And that was our day.
stupid geography teacher...I could rant all day, but my essay won't complete it'self =(
bye everyone
This is what I do when I have homework. There are copys of "Stories from the Tain", "Old Irish Verbs and Vocabulary", "Grammar of Old Irish", and "Dictionary of Irish based on Old and Middle Irish Sources" (aka DIL (I call it "the pickle" since it is really hard to find anything useful in there)).
We got home late tonight from rehearsing for our Peter Pan play. To speed up bedtime, Minmei offered to help Julian with his math homework.
