The Night The Lights Went Out in Haltom City,Texas

Charlie’s has a new Homework assignment each week and it coincides with Wordless Wednesday. I will pick one picture that I have taken and print it out. Then Charlie must prepare a lesson plan around that picture. As well as write a short story about what is happening in the picture.The story can’t be about things we did or talked about.

It has to be Charlie’s point of view and what he thinks would have happened. Or why someone would take this picture. So Charlie gets used to using who, what, when and how. For next year when Charlie goes into 5th Grade. Now, before you ask me if Charlie likes this assignment the answer is no.

Was I told I am the meanest teacher around yes, numerous times. Like I told Charlie I am not your friend I am your teacher and my job is to teach you. Your choice is to do the work assigned or not do the work and take the consequences which would be a F. There is no, C. Then I went on to my work and the next thing I know Charlie is not only bringing me his story but pictures to go with it.

Once again as a parent I had to remind myself to pick my battles and stay strong but this time it worked. If only I was able to teach David this then we all would be a lot happier.

I hope you enjoyed my Wordless Wednesday and if you participate in this event come and leave me a link so I can check out your Wordless Wednesday post.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
