New Rule

Right after school, almost the minute we walk in the door, one or both neighbor girls are knocking on the door. We have a rule that homework gets done right after school, with them coming over, it just doesn't work, so I finally got smart and said they could only come in if they brought their homework to do, otherwise they would have to come back. Well, today they brought their homework, it was way easier keeping my kids on track, it was a little complicated for me with three different spelling lists to practice, but we got it all done, and it way more peaceful when they all had something to do. I had a hard time helping the 2nd grader with a worksheet she had, she had to come up with long vowels words, with the vowels beside one another. "U" was way hard, we had to get the dictionary out to help us find a word.
