Homework...

S has homework in PreK. Usually not much, a single page reinforcing something they are studying at school - something to color....

This week is S is for seasons (and of course S). Last night while I was getting dinner, S was in a hurry to get her work done. A cute little sheet that had a child dressed for each of the 4 seasons in the left column. The other column of the page had something from the outfits and the kids were to match the child in column A to an item (or items) of their apparel in column B. The first was done for you. 'Winter' was wearing typical playing outside clothes and a line was drawn to a grouping with a hat coat and mittens.

Upon looking at her completed homework, things were not quite right...The child with overalls and a T-shirt had a line to a long sleeve shirt, the boy with a bathing suit had a line to both a swimsuit and a T-shirt...

Mom: "S, these aren't quite right. This child is wearing a T shirt and the line goes to the wrong shirt"

S: "Oh no, this shirt would look much better with that outfit and this boy needs to wear BOTH of these things...."

homework through the eye of the beholder....
