I can't find the old thread but I wanted to give an UPDATE for all of you who responded to my concern about my 7th grade daughter and all the homework and laptop she was going to be required to bring with us to Disney....Well, I worked it all out with the school.She's got some worksheets to bring with her. She won't have to bring books or a laptop. She will have some work when she gets back but mostly reading.
The best homework assignment she got was from her science teacher. She created a 5 page package that she calls "The Disney Vacation Packet". There's a s Scavenger Hunt page that has a list of 20 things to find including "Where does Tinker Bell Fly out from"? and "What ride has a fifty foot drop"? She has one part that says, "Upon entering any Disney Park, stop right before the gate & count how many people enter over a 5 min period. Multiply that using the park hrs and the number of gates that are open.....She's now very excited! We will have a wonderful trip in 7 days!!!
