Math Drills.

Elizabeth started 2nd grade this year. Who knew 2nd grade would be so intense. There is homework every night so far. Not hard stuff just reading, spelling and math. Which is plenty. So this week they started math drills. They are working on memorizing simple math pharses. 1+1, 2+1, 3+1 you get the gist. Every day they have a drill. They have to be able to do 25 answers in 1 minute. Simple enough. So last night we were working on the drill. I was reading the question and she was answering as fast as she could. Timmy had been in the shower and comes thru in the middle of our quizzing. I said what's 4+1 and before Elizabeth could even think timmy rattles off 5! And kept on walking towards his room. I said how'd you know that. So I then asked timmy what's 6+1. 7 he says happily. WOW how does my 4 year old know how to add.....I don't know. But he just kept beltin them out. So I guess I will have 2 smarty pant kids, not that it makes me unhappy. I really wished that Timmy would have been accepted into the school pre-school. He was too smart however. Oh well. Just 1 short year and he'll be in K and they won't know what to do with him.
