First Day of Homework

We did it! We survived the first day of homework. School did start last week, but no homework was assigned until today. And there were two of them this year! I'll admit I was, and still am a little, nervous to have to help Stephen and Anne with homework and still get dinner ready and take care of three smaller people. But today things went really smoothly. Anne had to practice writing numbers, reading sight words, and had to read two books the teacher sent home. Stephen's seemed a little easy so maybe his will eventually get harder. He had to read (anything) for 15 min. and work on his "Me Bag." Stephen is supposed to choose 3-4 small objects that will all fit in a small brown paper bag (lunch size) that tell about him. Anne also had to fill a "Me Bag" but she had to bring it for the first day. Anne included a picture of Noah, her favorite beanie bag teddy bear, and The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown. The book just barely fit.
