Shane is in first grade. This is his homework tonight:
Write each word on an index card or slip of paper. Have a a parent hide your words in a room of your house. Turn off the lights in this room so it looks like night. Now find your words using a flashlight. Spell to a parent when you find and use the word in a sentence out loud.
Now, this teacher has no children of her own. Once upon a time, I would have found this assignment to be delightful and imaginative. I'd have been impressed by her ingenuity. Today, this means I have to 1) find a flashlight that works, 2) hide these words and hope the younger kids won't find them before Shane does,(because you know they will eat them or put them somewhere else) 3) find a way to fit this in after Timmy's appointment in Fredericksburg tonight, because no room in my house is dark, even with the shades pulled, before nightfall. Except the big boys' room, and he'd never find them in there!!!!!!!
