But Then My Homework Was Never Quite Like This.

Homework. I hated it. Frankly, I never really did it. I was unfocused and unsupported. And my grades reflected just that. Today, in preparation for second grade, Wesley's class has begun formal homework assignments. Prior to this, Rebecca and/or I would go over the day's work and read and practice writing and do flash cards; all of which we will continue to do. But now the teacher will send home specific assignments with due dates and grades. Reflecting on my own experience with homework and the fact that Rebecca is a teacher, Wesley is in a potentially precarious situation; trapped between the perennial slacker dad and the laser focused, super smart, extra strict mom.

We approached the homework in no negative terms and worked together. All told Wesley enjoyed it. The assignment was based on a Cam Jansen story (a chapter book series he loves) and consisted of reading and writing answers to five questions. It was pretty high level stuff in terms of reading comprehension, including doing a drawing interpretation of the chapter's setting. Wes did very well, worked hard and seemed to enjoy it. Check him out working here. Cute.

Wes is a smart kid and hopefully he will have inherited his mom's smarts more than my laziness, either way we will support him and hope for the best.
