Day 96 - Lousy Start

Our day got off to a lousy start today. I graded Ben's math homework and found that he had a number of answers wrong or in the wrong format.

"Did you check your answers with the back of the book?"
"I forgot."
He forgot despite the fact that I remind him to do so everytime I give him homework and is said "Check Your Answers" on the page he was doing on the work on.

Perplexed would be the kindest way to describe how I was feeling.

Today:

• We spent most of the morning getting the Fish Tank running. It required one trip to the fish store. It turned out very well. We need to do some studying before adding fish.
• Checked out two new games - "Set" and "Ken Ken". We enjoyed both of them very much. Good brain excercise.
• Worked on revisions to Australia Diary entries based on feeback from Kris.
• Other daily routine: Journal, Reading, etc.
