I remember graduating from 5th grade a nice teacher named Mrs. Sanchez handed me a little card that told me so. So who would of thought that I would of been doing 5th grade all over again when my twins hit 5th grade. I knew that I would be helping out with homework every night what parent doesn't but I didn't know that I would be doing 45 minutes of reading and over a hour of additional homework each night. Yep that is what Nichole has every single night and this stuff is hard. We just finished some math homework that was Algebra. Let me just give you an example The Bactrain camel has 2 humps and the Dromedary camel has one hump. In a group of 15 camels, the total number of humps is 21. How many camels of each type are there? Yep. Algebra. It only took me about 10 minutes of trying before I stumbled across the answer (thanks dad and Lesley) and another 20 minutes to explain it to my 11 year old. Yay 5th grade again is so much fun!!!

Blah, I will hate that, I cried through math homework the first time around...
It's a good thing that Jeremy can do math or else my boys might be doomed. I can't believe that a 5th grader has that much homework. You are such a great mom helping Nicole out. I hope things go better for her at school!
