Homework....

There's a good amount of it for Kindergarten but it's what we expected since Reese & Ryan are in the accelerated class.  The teacher told us that things would be moving at a faster pace but I'm amazed at what they are already working on.  They get a packet at the beginning of the week and have until Friday to complete.  They also have a calendar for the month and they have to do at least two activities each week.  We had fun with that in August-checking off the activities and turning in our journal.

Reese working away on her homework.

 Ryan being oh so studious.

And then they took a break to cheer for homework. Yay for phonograms!

 Okay, time to get serious again :)

Each night they are required to read a book to themselves, read a book to mom or dad, & then we each read a book to them.  That's 6 books a night and we don't rush it, so it's added about 30-45 extra minutes to our bedtime routine.  I have to say it's one of my favorite times of the day.  It is so incredible to see them sounding out words and putting it all together.  Their favorite books to read to us are the BOB books and Dr. Seuss books like, "Go, Dog, Go!"  They adore school and I'm so happy they think learning is so much fun.  It truly is a blessing.
