Last week Abby came home from preschool with her first homework assignment. She was sent home with a blank pink sheet of paper and she had to create an ALL ABOUT ME sheet. There were very few directions and there was no template. I do student of the week at school so I had a few ideas of what to include and decided to have her list her favorites. We started working on it last night. She LOVED putting the stickers on for her name. She labored over what color to use for each letter. Then we moved to the computer to find just the right pictures. This took a long time because Abby thought we should put every picture we owned on there and that would be 100's of pictures! But we did manage to narrow it down to the chosen few.
We finished working on it tonight and Abby was thrilled to do "homework". I'm not kidding! She been waiting for the day that she would have real homework. She usually plays school at her desk and assigns herself some homework and sometimes I have to "create" homework for her to do, but this assignment was real homework! She couldn't stop smiling. She loved the cutting, coloring, gluing, and especially the writing. She doesn't have to turn it in until Friday so I'm sure we'll have to oooh and aaah over it several more times.
Ah...I'm going to keep pictures of this to remind her that she loves to do homework. I'll probably have to bring it out to remind her several times over the next few years. :)
