Stuff that doesn't fly at the Smartypants Institute....

Cutie Pie is often off task. However, she can still complete one of these work sheets in less than five minutes. This is where her school and I do not see eye to eye. Cutie Pie brings home worksheets marked like this all the time.

 The M's are for what she does on Mondays, T's are for Tuesdays and so on. Cutie Pies math is the same way. She might do eight problems a day.  They aren't even hard for her. I know we don't want to push  children too hard. Especially ones who struggle academically. But, eight problems is all she can muster in a days time? Whatever! She is more capable than that. So I made her do a few of these sheets and about 25 subtraction problems. She also read me some books, and did some folder games. If the school is reading this, don't worry. She hasn't had to be hospitalized for over exertion:D

:Big Dog is a huge fan of this US map puzzle. He did it about a dozen times today:)

Timmy is going to be sharing our fun in learning. Each week we are going to meet up for a quick class. We are starting with the letter A. Next week will be doing the letter B at Liz and Timmy's place. We are excited.

This week we used bingo dot markers on letter A's.

 Then we made some letter A's while we finger painted.

 Then we made some angels we saw on Catholic Icing. Check out the fabulous work!:D
