Every day for the last couple of months Sarah has been bringing home a 10 page math packet. She is in first grade. The word tedious comes to mind. On a Wednesday Awana night the last thing I have time for is story problems-page after page of them! I wrote a note to the teacher telling her that we may not be able to get the packet in on Thursday mornings. Signed, Poor Excuse for a Mother. Sarah's teacher wrote a prompt reply and I groaned as I read it. Sarah asks for the worksheets on a daily basis. They are optional.
I know. I know. I should have nipped it in the bud at parent-teacher conferences, but I was speechless after Sarah's teacher told me what a sweet, kind, helpful girl she was. Oh, and she has good manners too.

LOL.
Tell her to come on over...I've got plenty of NON-optional math packets (not to mention Social Studies, English and Science) for her to do.
How is she at range, median, mean and mode? Anatomy of the kidney?
That is too funny....
Optional Math
Something wrong there.
I just want to say a special hello to Kelli and Kristi. I'm here (waving)!
