(Although I have to admit that I don't quite understand the purpose of making 6-year-olds copy out spelling words. I know that this is typical homework for a lot of little kids, but the teacher in me can't help but wonder why. But I digress.) And I know exactly what you mean about your students. I teach adults and ask them to write about something. And some of them will actually ask me how many sentences they have to write.Stephaniehttp://www.claybaboons.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-41958854349641266032012-10-02T01:26:09.633-04:002012-10-02T01:26:09.633-04:00Oh my - the first homework assignment.
