After weeks of protesting DS6's desire to bring one of his work books to school, I found out during their end of the year party that his teacher encouraged him to bring it. He often finished before other kids in his class and also could read the instructions to assingments that his teacher had to read to other children, so he needed "busy work". I'm so very glad she let him bring busy work from home that he wanted to do! He even taught his teacher a few things.
I just wish that she would've told me it was ok, so I'd stop fussin' with him every morning about that darn animal book! Needless to say, he will be getting a few more this summer for next school year!
Maybe your DD's teacher would allow the same...
