Don't Like the Instructions Modify Them

At the end of each school week, teachers send home a folder that contains school work that has been completed during the past week. Known in our area as the 'Friday Folder.'  This folder can be a source of parental pride or a reality check that your child isn't understanding a concept. In this case, it was a surprise for my grandson's family.

Busy work, also know as fun worksheets, are often given to students who complete their work before the allotted time of the assignment.

Below is an example of a fun worksheet with a twist from my grandson.

Instruction for this worksheet is in the lower right hand corner.

The instructions read: 

Make a beautiful arrangement of your favorite flower.

My grandsons modified instructions read:

Make a arrangement of your favorite flower.

He drew a venus fly trap getting ready to eat his lunch.

The completed worksheet.

A source of pride or pain, you decide.
