I think we should all boycott 5th grade. Y...Amen!! I think we should all boycott 5th grade. You know when I taught, I didn't have children of my own yet. I tell everyone that if I was to go back to teaching (since having children), I would be a much better teacher and would definitely not give as much homework. I was terrible back then.kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876582972352384275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053602555978827912.post-40381750541255812392009-11-20T08:48:39.041-06:002009-11-20T08:48:39.041-06:00We ignore most homework.

By the time your two younger ones get there, I may give no homework at all! We are also doing all the Indian projects at school...I told the other third grade teachers ..."Who wants to make a project the week before Thanksgiving???" so....our rooms are full of teepees, adobe huts, totem poles...paper on the floor...you name it...they just aren't covering kitchen tables everywhere! I hope that makes some mommas and daddies happy! Just a few more days of school before Thanksgiving break...hang in there!cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764260771715697450noreply@blogger.com
