as soon as the bus rolled up to our stop this afternoon, i could see liam animatedly waving something to me through the window. it was his homework assignment, which turned out to involve not one, but two full worksheets on multiplication facts. what in the ham sandwich? i'm a math teacher by trade and i wasn't aware kindergartners should be doing any sort of multiplying. but there he was, fifteen minutes later, laser-focused and hunched over the first sheet at our kitchen table.
and below is the end result. it's obvious i had nothing to do with it (i was reading a story to susanna at the time), because it was only after he finished that i realized that he thought he needed to write each answer on top of the equal signs. it made it a little difficult for me to check, but they're all there, completed in less than two minutes -- and they're all correct.
think he'll continue throughout his educational career to be as excited about homework as he was today?
