I guess I shouldn't have complemented the girls on how well they are doing in school this year. It is now taking them forever to finish their school. I assigned them less this week to see if we could get finished in a timely manner.
I think they lost their math brains at our swim meet this weekend. We had a simple review lesson on parallel, perpendicular and oblique lines this morning. I drew each of them a line. I asked them to draw a parallel line and a perpendicular line to the line I drew. One didn't know what a perpendicular line was at all. We had talked about it and looked at multiple examples before asking them to do this. I then asked them to draw a set of each type on their own. You would have thought I had asked for the moon.
Oh my!! I hope our day gets better and some people turn their brains on!!
I tell my kids their brains fell out while they were sleeping and we should go look on their pillows :-)
