[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's actually the opposite. The new language arts curriculum is much more rigorous than last year. They are building up to writing essays, etc., it's still early in the school year and in the curriculum.

We joke the unit is sponsored by big corn in our house. Anytime we ask our 5th grader what she learned about, it’s corn.  Corn for weeks. [/quote]

Oh my god, just shut up about the corn. I'm sure your child has moved on to a different unit by now. Each unit is only 10 days.[/quote]

It's in-"grained" in our brains. Did you know that corn is a vegetable when it's fresh and a grain when it's dried out? I can tell you all about it.

I'm sorry but you must have a really weird co-dependent relationship with your child if they are telling you this much about their language arts work. My kids have told me their themes and I see the work they bring home, but I don't know the intimate details of their language arts curriculum like you seem to. Your kid is, what, 10 years old? I am guessing a boy. You need to get out more.[/quote]

lol! Just wait until 5th grade. You'll be in on the joke. Or maybe not since you don't seem to have much sense of humor.[/quote]
