My boys, when asked to draw pretty much anything for their Saxon Math assignment, hastily scribble “x” amount of smudgy circles on their paper and move on.
My daughter, however, is different. When I went to check on her work today—a full fifteen minutes after she began it—I found that she was stuck on the second question. The “draw five pairs of earrings” problem was proving to be, well, problematic.
She had carefully drawn 3 pairs of earrings and was just sitting there.
“Maria,” I asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I can’t think of any other ones,” she sighed. “These are your pearly bead earrings. These are like Mrs. Potato Head earrings. And these are your really beautiful ones…”
Another ten minutes later and she had finished.
Finally—and to her great artistic satisfaction—she had finished.
LOL!!! Only Mars here — I can only wish that my boys would take that much time on their assignments!!
Love it! She and my Abigail would get along so well.
HA HA HA! So funny and cute! After using Saxon through 3 kids I remember the Mrs. Carrano problem! 🙂
Oh, that is my Scarlett to a ‘T’! She takes FOREVER to do a simple problem, but it is alway correct and drawn with great detail.
I love it!!! Those earrings are great.
I love it! We are a house full of X makers here. I’ve never seen such detail for a math problem. 😉
That is so dear! 🙂 Thanks for sharing that!
That’s sweet. We wouldn’t have that problem here.
Precious!
What a good little artist!
Girls will be girls! Male and female he created them…
