my son was given a book report to do on a story that taught the meaning of 4 words: oxymoron, anagram, palindrome, and onomatopoeia.
i remembered three of them, but i wondered if this was 2nd grade material.
did the teacher make a mistake and give him a 5th grade book? is she testing him to see what he can do without discussing it with us?
he finished his book report, doing a really good job on it. it took a lot of work with him between dw and i, but when he finally read the whole 120 page book by himself, he ended up getting all of the concepts.
we are going to ask the teacher what''s up when we see her next week, but i wondered how many adults would know the definition of those 4 words.
are you smarter than a 2nd grader? or am i nuts?
or both...
