Homework marathon

Last night Kate had the misfortune of having to tell her dad about a bad math grade. Long division is giving her lots of trouble. Kate and her dad worked on division for two hours to get her ready for a test today. She and I got to school early this morning and went over problems again on the board. She still struggles on where to place the numbers and what steps come next, but much progress was made! Let's hope some of it sticks for the test today!


While dad and Kate did division, Wil and I finished up his book report. We are reading about the eleven planets. Funny part for me is that he doesn't even remember that there used to be nine planets. And the numbers freak that he is, you know there are really only 8 planets and 3 dwarf planets. After getting the book done and the facts straight we constructed a model (that he got for Christmas) of the planets. Of course the model only had nine planets so he made the other two and the sun. It turned out awesome!! He is giving his oral presentation in class today! He is so excited!!


And last night Kristen was at "Grease" until late. When she got in the car she was screaming at the top of her lungs. She is SO excited about tonight!!!
