well tough if I can't I'll do it anyway .
I'm SOOOOOO terrible at doing the tiny bits of "homework" they're given (his reading, and spellings once a week). Readings we do read stuff regularly - but I always forget to write in his school reading book that he has. Spellings he gets once a week but I quite often forget about them and if he's lucky the day of the spelling test I'll grab his spelling book out of his bookbag and fire them at him as I'm making his breakfast (without him even getting a look at them first). This usually occurs about once a month (and that's good going ).
I did confess to his class teacher at the parents open evening not long before Christmas about my failure to practice with him and his response was "oh - we'll have to move him up a group"........looking at the spellings in his book it would appear that he has been moved up a group as they're considerably harder now (IMO) than before Christmas.
Anyhow, today he came home with a certificate for "Fantastic Speller" - they give them out each half-term to the children that have got ALL their spellings right EVERY week for the entire half-term......he got 2 last term too (so he's got all his spellings correct in the tests since that start of YR2).
I'm really proud (and incredibly too - when I was his age my mum would practice them religiously with me and I still struggled - though I don't tell him I'm of course) of him.
waffling and bragging over - you can go back to your interesting, non-self indulgent threads now
