I am not smarter than a 5th grader...

...and it wouldn't hurt to redo 1st grade.


Why don't teachers send home instructions on how to do homework with your child? Ethan and I argue over how to do it every night. And what 1st grader uses words like: bask and elated?

The weeks when we don't have the definitions provided on vocabulary words, Ryan and I try to figure out what definition they want the students to know. Can you guess what Ryan thought of when Ethan had "romp" included in his vocabulary words?

I guess we both need to redo our elementary educations...

Mandi-That's hilarious! Samantha brings home her vocab sheets (1st grade) every week too and occassionally I wonder why on earth they are teaching 1st graders those vocab words too!
