Homework!

Jake and I started his first homework project this afternoon. How exciting! Now he can look forward to a lifetime of less free time...

Of course in PreK homework is pretty stress-free. They've done an introductory lesson on geography in class, working on the idea of, "Where am I from?" Each night this week, we'll reinforce the lesson by coloring strips of paper representing different aspects of where Jake lives. The first strip was his birthday, the second his street address. He already knew his birthday, but he seems pretty excited to have learned his address. He's so funny when he answers my questions. He gets a very serious look on his face and slowly tells me the house number and street name, nodding his head with each new number or word.

After they've learned this lesson, they'll move on to learning the names of the continents. I might need a refresher class in those myself...
