November 13, 2012 - Tuesday's Homework night!

Tuesday night we have no activities so normally this is the night that we can dedicate the most amount of time to homework.  I try to have them study for spelling everynight, but sometimes there just isn't enough time.  I almost can't wait for the time when they will take ownership for their homework, and don't need my constant help.

They seem to have a lot of homework this year.   They have about 1/2 hour every night (15 minutes of reading and 15 minutes to study spelling), plus any thing else that is assigned or not finished in class.  I find this alot for the Girl especially.  I understand that they want the kids to read each night, it is a good habit to get into, but all the homework takes away from their play time and their snuggle time with me.  I try to get them to do the homework when I am cleaning up from dinner or while I am cooking dinner.  I feel like I don't see anyone in my house anymore unless it is the weekend:(
