homework.

Sometimes it can be hard to motivate the kids to actually work on their homework. They tend to lolygag and procrastinate as long as possible before actually picking up the pencil and doing the work. I was having this problem this week when I was working with a spunky fourth grader named Patrick. He was supposed to be working on his division homework, but was really just futzing around. He finally raised his hand and said that he didn't know how to do the assignment, and needed help. When I suggested that we both work out the problem and see who could get the right answer first, he suddenly remembered exactly how to do it and accepted the challenge. He proceeded to easily solve all of the problems correctly, and he even checked my work to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, and rewarded me with three stars. The next day when we were picking up the kids from the school, Patrick came up to me and said, "Miss Sara, I have math homework today! You're gonna help me with it right?" It made me happy that he was actually looking forward to doing his work, and that I was actually able to help him understand his assignment.




On a side note the kids had pajama day at school this week, and they all looked so cute that I had to snap a few pictures. Enjoy. :)
