Playing School

Adelaide woke up early this morning, as usual, but let me sleep while she got busy with her new school supplies. She wrote a list of rhyming words on her new paper by herself with the exception of waking me to ask how to spell "darnit" and its rhyming word "hornet."
After heading downstairs for breakfast we are back in the room waiting for the pool to open and playing school. The teacher set the student up with a writing assignment (write your name, draw a picture of yourself, and if you have time you can write more rhyming words and the alphabet) and then took a leisurely shower (we are obviously an alternative school).
The student finished the assignment and asked for more, so the teacher gave her a math worksheet. She completed the first 6 problems in no time (as in, the teacher was thinking she might have time to do something besides teaching for a minute, but no luck). So more problems were added, including some sudoku puzzles.Soon it will be time for recess, so student and teacher are getting their swimsuits on. Did I mention the school has a pool?
