JBDad- good for DW for being brave! So far we like this teacher so I'm trying not to make her mad. She immediately accommodated DS in reading and spelling without a word. But she seems defensive about math so we're easing her into our way!


Val- I did the same thing- I had a 2nd grade math book and taught addition and subtraction with regrouping last night. He's going to practice that a few times. The rest of the book he can do already so we're going to practice a few things... translation "Show the teacher he already knows the 2nd grade standards too before report cards". I also have a Singapore Math book that covers some different topics that will be fun.

2nd grade math seems to be a rehash of old topics- time to the 15 min instead of 30, money to the $5 instead of $1.

I'm not going to push my luck yet but I'm wondering if "Played ClueFinders 4th grade" counts as math homework :-)
