I'm not enjoying kindergarten homework as much the SECOND time around. I know it's not fair to the younger child, but it is what it is... Collages, family photo albums, I can handle this. I need warning (more than one night) but I can make it as cute as the next BTDT kindergarten mom does. But SOME homework, some "homework" leaves me scratching my head and wondering, "ungraded work: is it really necessary to run out and get three apples and a 16 oz water bottle before bath time when all I want to do is sit down"?
Our homework tonight required that we cut three apples in half and compare the number of seeds in each one. Yes, my Baby Boy had just eaten the last one for snack the day before. I have no apples in this house. So we skipped the hands on part and discussed the topic. Then come the higher level thinking "probes". I leave the last question as your thought for the night. (and yes, I came up with three, but seriously...)
Name three ways an apple is like a stoplight.

At this point I prefer 4th grade multiplication and division.

I hate it when I get homework in the guise of the child getting homework. Does that make me a bad mom? probably.
