I am teaching 2nd grade this year and they are going to have a weekly homework sheet with certain routines but I don’t want to start this until the second week of school. I still want to assign homework beginning on the first day. What are some good, easy assginments when the first week is shorter and will not be too concerned with academic work (mostly rules, class routines, and assessment)? Many thanks.
ASSIGNMENTS- sorry!

My boyfriend and I are on school vacation this week. We were planning to take a day trip to a city, but that got canceled. We live in a small town and both have limited funds and transportation. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we could do? I’d appreciate it–we are bored beyond belief.

Obviously I’m not the only one asking this question, but for those of you who have been on longer than I have, did this happen last year? I mean, is this a cyclical thing? We just got done with all those summer reading questions and now it’s homework! Maybe I’m old school but honestly I didn’t go to strangers with my homework problems–I worked them out on my own or with study groups. Where’s the growth in having the answers told to you? And what makes you think you’re going to get the right answer anyway–maybe someone’s just answering with the wrong answer to mess with you.

I usually start homework really late because of distractions, and was wondering how you get motivated.

My husband and I are looking to plan a vacation this year. We want to take a trip south- to tropical islands or florida area. We have a 9.5mo old and a 5yr old who is in kindergarten.

We have NEVER taken a vacation before. It will be only for one week but I didn’t want to do it in July or Aug because it is WAY too hot, especially for the baby (we are pasty north-easterners).
Would it be wrong to take him out of school for a week in late may or early june?
he has not missed any school yet this year and there is no spring break for kindergarten
