Let the homework begin!

The first full week of school has come and gone and the girls have gotten really well set into the back to school routine. This week both of the girls have started to have homework come home. I knew of course Kenzie would have quite a bit and luckily it doesn't take an act of congress to get her to work on it.

Kylie had a paper to do yesterday and after we got home and everything out of the backpacks and what not she started on her paper. She was excited for her first paper homework assignment that she had to do. Yes I know, not many kids are excited about homework, but for some reason Kylie was. She got her pencil and hopped up to the table and started to work on it. I had to help her with one side but she did really well on the other side. It took her about ten minutes to do the worksheet and then I started with Mackenzie.

This year on top of spelling Mackenzie will also have vocabulary words and 2 readers to read each week. They will take a test on both of the stories that they start on Monday. She read through them like a champ and had it done after a bit. She can't wait till they get to next weeks story in their hardback reader. It's all about astronauts. All in all it took us an hour to finish homework between the two girls, and that was with Kenzie working on some of hers while I was helping Kylie with hers.


I'm sure once the girls are a little more used to doing homework after school it won't take us as long to finish homework. Today I know for sure Kenzie will have homework. Not sure about Kylie yet. (Mackenzie's teacher puts a newsletter in her students red folder and it contains the weekly homework calendar so we know what needs to be done for homework every day. I love that!) By the end of this week, Mackenzie will have taken 5 tests, read at least 4 books and will enjoy every minute of it.

Till Next Time!!!
