Rachael's Vocabulary Homework

To make a long story a little shorter ...

Six year old Rachael had been talking a lot about wanting to go to school. She was with a dear family we are friends with from church, and she told them that she really wanted to go to school. When they asked her what she wanted from school that she couldn't get at home, her answer was:

Homework.

[Which is really funny if you know me personally, because you probably know I am very anti-homework.]

So the members of this family suggested they make their own school and give her homework. Rachael was so excited! They named the school The ___ Institute of Higher Learning.

That was over a week ago, and Rachael no longer says she wants to go to school.

Here is one of her first homework assignments:
