Kindergarten Report

Nicholas came home with a homework assignment on Friday. I thought, oh great, homework over the weekend. Oh no, it's even better than that. It was his homework for the next week which is to write a report. That's right, my Kindergartener, whom I have to fight with every night to do easy five minute homework, has to write a report and make a model of an animal in the ocean. Are these people crazy?? They send home his homework for us to redo when his handwriting isn't neat enough. Seriously, the kid is five, how neat can his handwriting really be, isn't he supposed to be learning?? Now he has to write a report. Granted, it's not super long, the questions are fairly easy, but come on - he's five!! Are my standards too low? Am I the one who is ridiculous? I don't know, but we are off to the library this afternoon to find information about hammerhead sharks. Maybe I'll get some clay and he can make a shark out of the that.

I agree! Kailey had to do 3 BOOK REVIEWS over Christmas break! What kind of kindergarten teacher gives homework over Christmas break...and a book review for a 5 year old no less!
