I decided to take a break for summer, after all. Considered schooling year round, but I think I need a break as much or more than they do. So, the plan is to read everyday, both me to them and them to me, and do math review 2x a week. I won't intruduce any new concepts, just reinforce mastery of the things they learned this year. L could really use practice on her muliplication tables since she'll be moving on to division next fall. J needs to work on simple addition and subtraction facts. He knows how to figure them out, but he's slower than he should/could be. I plan to play math games with him to get those math facts memorized. R is going to work on reading this summer. She's a whiz at math but reading is coming slower for her. I take blame for that. She is more than capable of learning to read better if I spend the time with her. I haven't given her the 1-1 time that she needs. She's napping less and less so, I plan to use that time to work with her. If/when I get her up to reading level, she'll be in 2nd grade next year, skipping 1st grade. I'm gonna wait at least another year with MisB. She just turned 3 and she does know her letters and all the sounds they make but, I want to wait to start schooling with her. We still hold to the idea of later being better. I won't discourage any interest that she shows, but I'm not going to encourage 'school time' with her yet either. It will be a bigger help form me to have her play with C in the fall. They can keep eachother occupied while the olders have table time. I plan to have them spend the summer OUTSIDE!! Beach trips, park days, pool in the yard, etc. Lets enjoy this weather that we pay so much to live in! ;) |
