Whatever Are You Thinking?!


LittleNortherner has come home with homework a few times in the last week. Homework! He's in Kindergarten! NorthernDaddy doesn't remember Elementary School that well, but he's pretty sure he did not have homework in Kindergarten. Oh well; if Mrs.P thinks that the kids need to complete homework in order to "get" what she's teaching, then the Northerns will play along.

NorthernDaddy had gotten used to seeing LittleNortherner doing his homework, and didn't think much about it again until he saw the weekly newsletter on Friday. Five paragraphs of normal school updates and classroom happenings. Blah, blah, blah. Paragraph six was interesting.....
 
Quoting Paragraph Six: "If at any time your student comes home with a worksheet during the week it is because they have asked to have "homework". It does not have to be completed, but some are so excited that that they can finally do work with their big brothers or sisters!"
 
Good Lord! LittleNortherner is asking for homework?
 
Whatever are you thinking?!
