I have one word for you...HOMEWORK!
Mr. Big had a great first day in second grade. Which is a huge relief. For the 24 hours prior to school beginning, he was crying explaining why he should be home-schooled. What it boils down to is that he isn't very fond of children his own age, never has been. So, when he came out of school with a huge smile on his face, this mama let go one very big sigh of relief. Of course, as soon as that passed, he took much delight in telling me that I have homework tonight.
So, tonight for "my" homework, I checked Big's assignment notebook and verified that he completed all assignments and I then signed his assignment notebook. I had to read through the "classroom rules and discipline" packet and sign that as well. Last, but certainly not least, I tried to make sense of some very vague instructions on the math homework (hopefully I understood it). That was my homework for 2nd grade.
For 9th grade I got to help find 50 locations (strange locations I might add) on one of 5 maps that in total cover the entire world AND write 3 checks, fill out 4 forms, and
help to proofread and print a one page essay, double spaced, written in the third person.
For 12th grade I got to fill out 3 forms and write 3 checks.
I wonder what I'll get to do for tomorrow's assignments.
As Mr. Big's reward for not crying this morning and having a much better attitude than he did yesterday, we surprised him with a bike lock. This means that tomorrow he and I will be riding bikes to school. Let's hope it doesn't rain.
