5th grade. They didn't get nouns, verbs, and adjectives until just before the 
MAT test. Jennifer reminded me last night that the teacher used MadLibs to 
teach these. This is great - but nouns and verbs should have been taught in 
3rd grade (or earlier).

Two hours if you are having a bad day sounds like more than the public 
schools would accomplish on a bad day. So I wouldn't let it freak you. Some 
day you'll be so interested in what you're doing that you'll spend an extra 
few hours, so you'll make up for it!
Is Library a privilege or part of your curriculum?
