Homework Delayed!!
By Robyn | August 28, 2007
Due to the party running a little longer than we planned my boys got home after their bedtime. I knew they had homework and thought that they could get it finished up in the truck on the hour drive to school, but after they went to bed I wanted to double check. Turns out, there was more than I thought. So I set their alarm for 15 minutes earlier than they normally get up. They had no idea it was early–but they got up, sat at the couch and cranked out their homework. I needed to help them with it, and wouldn’t have been able to help them had I sent them to school to do it. Grayson got his 16 spelling words written 3 times each, and his address written down–he did wait to draw and color the picture of the house until he was on the road. Jake had vocabulary words for health, and a few spelling sentences. The hardest thing was finding 8 words that normally end in a silent “e” that you drop to add an “ing” to the end. Mind you–I’m pretty good at this whole English language thing–but when you put me on the spot-all I could think of were words like walking and eating–writing and hiding were a little hard to come by at 6 in the morning!

I’ve lost count of how many times my daughter has worked on homework in the car! I’ve never thought about setting the alarm a bit earlier, very good idea!
