jennickelsWas looking through my scrapbook pages and this one page just says it all about Meagan and the problems we're having with her homework.
It was true back in 2nd grade just as it is in 6th grade.
Things don't really change much.
Oh, and tonight Owen was doing math just for fun. Or to tick Meagan off, one or the other. I guess they're working on multiplying larger numbers so he was making up math problems to test himself. For fun. Meagan was mad because she can't even remember her multiplication tables and he's reciting them from memory and doing the math in his head (2 digit numbers multiplied by 1 digit number). She had to write it down on paper to figure it out. It's funny how different they are. Reading came naturally to Meagan, language arts are a snap. Anything that has to do with reading she breezes through but she just doesn't get match. Owen, on the other hand never grasped reading. He could barely read at a low 1st grade level when he started 3rd grade last year (he's mostly caught up to his grade level now) and because of that he's struggled in just about every topic, dislikes reading and HATES to write. But math has always come easily to him. He's been known to help Meagan with her math and he's 2 grades behind her.
