Summer Homework
I finally finished Harry Potter this morning. I feel weird. I spent so much time reading and trying to get them all finished and now it is over. It sounds silly because it is just a book, but when you wait for years getting a new book and clues every couple years and waiting for more. Anticipating what might happen. Then all of a sudden it is over. I feel a kind of loss. Like, OK so what do I do now? Kind of silly.
The girls are doing their math home work. In the summer we have a more strict chores list. Each kid is in charge of their room and one other room. They must make sure the rooms they are in charge of are clean all the time and they have to put away their own laundry when I have it all folded. Noelle has to do the dishes and clean up dog poop in the yard.
Then they have their summer "homework". They have to read for at least 30 minutes any book from their bookshelves. They also have at least 30 minutes of math to do on any one of the educational game web sites. They are not allowed to go outside to play until they have it all done. It should not take long seeing as the rooms should always stay clean but they like to have "breaks" all the time.
James called the school district offices yesterday to get the kids all set up in school. They told him what I was afraid of. I remembered kids going through it when I was in school. Wisconsin believes that it's schools are so superior to other states that you have to be tested to get in. They believe that children coming in from other states are not at grade level and want to be sure that they should not be held back a grade. James got worried since kids tend to slip back in the summer as it is and our kids have been out of school for 2 months already. So they are doing real homework for the next 2 weeks until testing. He found a website with printable math homework so they are working at it.
Well time for me to go correct math homework
