The kids have been back to school now for a month. Between 5th and 1st grades, there is a lot of homework. Thank goodness for the Internet. I have used it to help look up who invented Scotch Tape, what the Bose-Einstein Condensate is, and many other things I couldn't explain to "M". The Internet makes us moms look real smart.
5th grade is hard. Especially at her school for academically gifted students. But what I love about 5th grade is that the responsibility of homework and projects is no longer the parents'. She carries a planner with her all the time and brings it to all her classes. At her school, all the kids switch classes (just like Jr. High and High School) from the beginning in Kindergarten. So it is pretty hectic watching 5 year olds mixed with 8th graders switching classes all day long.
"C" is doing amazing with her reading and I believe that she is probably the top in her class...(although she is not in the top class)...there are 6 reading levels in her grade. She loves her teachers but says that her math teacher is kind of mean. We'll see.
