the first week went great! the boys came home excited about school-thing 1 let us know very clearly that he had no homework! that was the one thing he was dreading-homework! last year we(and i do mean to say we) had a lot of homework! i think we will this year too, it just hasn't hit yet! this year i think he will be able to work more independently on it though.(at least i hope)
thing 2 was excited for FUN FRIDAY!
what a great way to keep the kids going all week-give them something to look forward to at the end!
he's been up early everyday, dressed quickly and ready to go-thing 1 has been slow to wake and very cranky at thing 2 for disturbing him! such different boys!
thing 2 hasn't had any homework yet either. thing 1 had the same teacher when he was in 1st grade so i think i know what to expect. not a ton of homework (busywork style) but a lot of reading.
so, we are off to a fun start but i'm sure attitudes will change when the homework hits!

I remember homework being no fun-YUCK! I have also heard you get to do it all over again with your kids-Double yuck!
I hope things continue to go well and the homework stays at a minimum!
Yeah. What a relief school is going so well for the kiddos. My guys were't so lucky, homework since day one.
I also celebrate when there is no homework...feels like I'm back in 3rd & 1st grade all over again...
It looks like they have had a great first week!
My boys weren't so lucky. They each had homework from day one. But it was fun stuff, like gather pictures of things you like, dislike, your family...that kind of stuff. It was week two the the math, spelling and reading started.
I followed your blog from a friends blog but I love those no homework days because it really is a we effort. It is nice to have kids back in school.
