Week

Oh my what a week... so very glad to finally have the weekend here to recuperate!!

This week Ainsley had 3 hours of homework just about every night !..not to mention her state report was due... she had 2 ISATs to study and take, get her AR reading goal and of course there is the commitment of Volleyball and Piano.

This was the scene...

I'm typing up her State Report... she's using the online dictionary to get spelling homework done and Stewart is figuring out how to do her math assignment so he can explain it to her later... and looming in the foreground... science and social studies homework.

Oh my seriously... 3 hours of homework each night plus all the mentioned above??? It was seriously ridiculous... 11 year olds should not feel such stress or have this much stress put on them!! She had many late nights and early mornings! Luckily she has good parents to sit with her and help her figure out what to prioritize, encouraging her to keep on track, being able to answer questions and giving her the talks of, "It will be okay... we will figure it out... r e l a x... just do your best that's all that matters."

Onto the weekend of making the state report poster, presentation notes and shoebox diorama.
