The girls' homework this year has been nothing, if not creative.
Sullivan has an amazing teacher that believes in empowering children to make choices and take ownership in their school work. This philosophy has spilled over into Sullivan's spelling homework.
Sullivan was given a slew of choices to practice spelling words last week. Of all the choices, she chose to write her spelling words in shaving cream. She thought it was super fun, I thought it was super messy! But you only live once...
Sullivan was having so much fun, that her sister was a bit envious. So out came the shaving cream for her too. After the spelling words were practiced, the two of them had the best time playing around!
Last week the girls asked if they could have a "homework party" with the neighbors. All four of them had homework to complete and wanted to do it together. Seeing no problem with that, I sent them next door.
Little did I know, their 'homework party' was in the back of Ms. Jen's car! I think they brought every pillow that the Powells own into the car to make their cozy, little nook!
Homework... much more fun than I ever remember it being!!!
