Worksheets

I am happy to report that this March Break has been an incredible success.  Even though were were stuck indoors for a lot of it, the girls had fun. 

The worksheets I printed off for them were a success.  Mylee flew through hers, which makes me proud.  Even the word problems, which I believe Kiya helped with too.  Kiya's were a little harder and more geared to her study program in school right now.  However I am so happy to report that Kiya is now multiplying like us older people!!!! And this is a good thing for her mommy because I couldn't quite get the way she did it before.  She also admitted that my way was faster and more efficient so she could line up her work and it can be neater.  Hallelujah, mommy taught her something in math!!!

Though the worksheets were meant for practise and nothing more, I was able to better explain things to the girls.  How I read, a secret to word families, decimals, and my favourite WORD PROBLEMS.  Yes the bane of my existence, but Mylee understood it, which will help next year when the real work begins.

After the week was up, I asked both girls what they thought of the worksheets, their replies were quite interesting.  Kiya responded with, they were actually quite fun and a good idea.  Mylee thought they were awesome and wants some more.  So I think I have my work cut out for me this summer. 

I can tell you though, my goal of not having them sit in front of the tv the entire March Break was accomplished,  I don't think they watched more than 2 hours of tv the entire week.  Movies on the other hand are another story, but Disney movies at least have a lesson.  If you can give me the lesson learned in any of the new tv shows geared for kids, then more power to you because all I hear and see is stupidity.
