Right now, all of his silly phonic worksheets have elaborate drawings and writings on the back that he does when he's finished(cracks me up, actually)
(singing) Memorieeeesss.....
Oh, the beautiful works of art that came home on the back of DD's worksheets. I even saved a few. Honestly, you just made me realize that hey, work does not come home with artwork all over it anymore. Child is not constantly waiting for everyone else to catch up any longer.
Send in some books. I bet the teacher will be thrilled.
My DD didn't dislike K. By the end of first, though, she was tired of walking in tiny circles all day long.
