When we were in Hawaii, Katie and Emily worked on some homework assignments – basically some worksheets. Maile was fascinated.
A couple days ago, she sat down and used Google to make her own English/Mandarin worksheet that was modeled after what Katie and Emily had in Japanese (yeah, a lot of languages in that sentence!). Basically, she asked Google how to say certain words (like “Mommy”) in Chinese and then drew a picture and wrote both the characters and the word down.
Maile hard at work crafting her first homework assignment
The next day, she asked me if I could find her some worksheets that she could use. We hit Google again (our new best friend) and I printed out some that I found. Today I asked her teachers at school for some help and they pointed me towards some good sites. Maile loves working through the problems (mostly math at this point) and then I help grade them – complete with a teacher-style smiley face at the top 🙂
She has a cute folder that she places all her assignments in and she’s been bringing them to school (unclear what happens with them at that point). So far we love homework!
