3 Hours of Homework
October 20, 2010 by Adam in Sam
Sam worked on homework from after dinner until bedtime. It was surprising just how much stuff he had to do. Roosevelt seems to have quite a bit more homework than in elementary school. We helped him write a limerick on density, research a paper on submarines, and do some math. He has more for today, and this weekend I'm hoping to help him work on a PowerPoint presentation. The topic is crying as stress relief, which may come in handy.
Figuring out what Sam does in his free time takes a bit of detective work. Lunches are spent in the library with the chess players. He evidently plays with them on occasion, even though he claims to be worst player in the bunch. He was talking about game variations that I've never heard of, like Bugout and Subspace. I like hearing that he's making friends and working himself into a little community of sorts. They seem like a cool bunch, made up of quite a few "frenchies," the folks from the French immersion school where chess is played frequently.
He's out of school this Friday, so I'm taking the day off of work. Hopefully we can get time to catch up on his homework, as well as get some play time in. Should be fun.

The Tooth Fairy Cometh
October 11, 2010 by Adam in Sam
Sam, Emma, and Duncan all have wiggly teeth. Sam was the first to lose one of his, popping out while Emma and I were bike riding. He was especially excited, as he's trying to get money these days. As is traditional in our family, I gave him $1 and a note from the tooth fairy.
