All I needed to learn I didn't learn in ....
All I needed to learn I didn't learn in .... Kindergarten! Man!
I am constantly amazed at what Christopher is learning in a K
curriculum. I know we're using LA1 and Math1, but the rest is
K. Did they seriously teach all this when I was in school??
I don't remember learning this type of stuff until middle elementary
ages. Yikes!!! I'm so grateful that DH is okay with us
taking things slow and catering a little bit to Christopher's learning
style (which is all over the place! LOL). There are days I wonder
how in the world other kids like him function in a public school
environment. Today we were able to get back more to our schedule
after the crisis in the family a couple of weeks ago.
We accomplished:
- handwriting
- spelling words
- 2 lessons in math
- language arts worksheet
- C reading to me
- finished reading "The Apple and the Arrow"
AND we are taking a break from TV for today. The kids have only
asked once to watch a movie, so I'm hoping they can hold off for the
rest of the day and we can survive without it. This time of day
is usually when they want to watch the most. We haven't had cable
in almost 4 years, but videos and PBS make it so easy to just sit and
get much of nothing accomplished.

Feb. 4, 2007 - I so agree
it's Michele from treasures...I was thinking the same thing about all they put in the k curriculums. I thought I didn't do all this in Kindergarden! I just know it. We colored did crafts played...well maybe that's all I remember. Max is in 1st gr. now and I'm still taking my time with him. He just loves learning to read. So I think I'm too slow for him on that. He did really good with catching on to math adding. Which reminds me I need to get off-line lol and make some work out for him to keep in mind what's he's learn. I hope your older boys are well are they home?
Love,
Michele
