Homework

Have I mentioned how pleased we are with Scott's teacher and his school? (Yes, I know I have.) It seems to be a really good balance of work and play, as they make learning fun for the kids. I stopped by the office this morning to drop off snack and ran into Elliot's dad. Elliot is a kid in Scott's class and his dad is in a local band. He comes every Friday to play music with the kids. How fun!

Scott has had two homework assignments. Both were designed to be worked on over the course of a week or two, so he still has plenty of time to play when he gets home every day. The main purpose of the assignment is to involve the parents in the learning process.

This week's project was decorating a "ME" paper. We worked on it last night and here is the result.



The only problem was that all this had to be cleaned up before we could eat dinner. But you know what...Scott is becoming an excellent cleaner. He is learning so much at school.
