Homework

With Ryan's school year underway we are starting to find our routine. When he comes home he has a snack because let's face it Kindergartners have long days now- 9-3 of instruction and he gets there at 8:30- by the time he gets home he is HUNGRY. Then we do homework. Ryan has his assignments and I have found that they lead to discussions about what they learned about in class (which normally he is not very forthcoming about).  During his assignments Audrey draws a picture of something related to what Ryan is doing. It works for us, and when he is finished we are free for the rest of the afternoon. A few years from now I will hate homework time (or at least I am told), but right now I enjoy the few minutes watching him practice all he is learning in school.
