I’d rather be at the beach – back to school

September 2, 2008

We’ve had two weeks of school.  Maggie is having the hardest time accepting life is not all fun.  Last week in math she was having a difficult time with her addition worksheet.  She didn’t know the answer to 7 + 7.  I asked her, “Maggie, what is 7 times 2?”  She promptly replied, “14″.  Last year she learned her multiplication by overhearing me go over the times tables with Bethany.  I guess we need to go back and learn addition:)  It is amazing what they learn even when you don’t think they are listening.
