when do I stop getting homework?

The kids have another day off school.  Do you know what that means?  Homework for parents.

Each day, including weekends, I work with 6-year old N through her LaRoue reading and this long weekend we have an assigned book for her to read as well.

Eight-year old K?  She has a science project on "l'ours polaire" that she needs to type up for school.  (She's already had to do a PowerPoint presentation earlier this year).  This project seems a little advanced for her considering she doesn't know how to type.  In addition, we work on her dictée (aka spelling) and she reads aloud to me in English or French during the work-week.

Needless to say, my first knitted scarf is advancing rapidly as I am soon to complete its second (and final) skein.  I think I'm experienced enough that, on my next scarf, I will incorporate purls and not just knitting.  Yes, there will be a second scarf as I'm only 2/3rds through the school year and I started on my current one at the end of January!  Knit away, I will, as I've got many more days of homework ahead!

I can only imagine the homework that awaits me during the upcoming Easter break!

  1. The kids are just finishing up their Spring Break and unfortunately spent most of it home due to my working and the unexpected daily rain. If I had been home at all this week, knitting would have been a nice way to pass the time on those rainy days. Instead, I daily make my way through the parking lot that looks a lot like a war zone because of ongoing construction. I hope you all have a fine Easter Break!

  2. Oh no, homework! I didn't like it when it was my OWN... how will I ever enjoy it when it is Bebe's? Nonetheless, a Mother's tasks are never done.

    Nice scarf!

    You are a patient and kind Mommy. Your girls will never forget what you have done for them. :0)
