This was the final week of having cousins coming and going. And I picked a day to officially start Kindergarten: Monday, August 30th! Next week will be another "light" week before we start K.
I need to buy Singapore Math 1b soon and was thinking about trying the Intensive Practice book rather than the workbook. The IP book doesn't include all the beginning "fluff" problems that Squeak normally skips when working in the workbook. I'm not sure yet. We are at the last chapter I plan to complete in 1a and hope it lasts about a month before I need to use 1b.
We don't really have a schedule of subjects for Kindergarten either. We'll just kind of flow like we did last year. What we pretty have been doing is:
In the am, Bible and science then right before bed, math. With read alouds and crafts sprinkled throughout the day. I am thinking about utilizing some time while Packy is still napping. Both girls go to quiet time about 1pm, Squeak lasts about 30-45 minutes before coming out. Packy still sleeps for another half hour to hour so I figured that could be bonus time in case we don't finish everything in the am. Or I could have Squeak do some of the other things I have to fill her time. This, of course, is optional time and depends on my own motivation! I asked Squeak what she thought of the idea and she thought it was a great one! LOL!
Sounds like it is going to be another great year!
ReplyDeleteI put off Singapore altogether until January. I figured I'd slow her down and use 2011 to finish both 1A and 1B.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could get Aidan to do work at night.. she's too tired.
That time during nap would be a great T4L time!
