Squeak has two weeks of Kindergarten left! I am very proud of her! This month has been very relaxed since she is so far ahead. I have also made some decisions - we are going to start Singapore 2a in the fall instead of sooner. Mainly because of her young age. And also because I rather have a more relaxed summer and not really have to teach much! LOL! I bought a few resources to keep her busy in addition to Singapore 1b IP and CWP books. I toyed with the idea of enrolling her in EPGY for 3 months but decided not to.
Squeak also turns 5 on Tuesday!!
Our official last day of Kindergarten is May 27th and we will enjoy that day at the ZOO! Then we are going to take a complete week off and begin our K/1st summer school. This is just very minimal - 2 days a week, just to keep the skills going. Bible is the only subject that will be completed daily as usual along with Read Aloud time.
This summer, Squeak is also going to be involved in a Summer Soccer program and summer recreation (she went last summer too). We also have our membership to the Kid's Museum that we've been using (we are slated to head there on Friday with Grandma!!).
So in a nutshell, we are here and doing well and Squeak is such an amazing student!
Oh! We started a small "unit study" on the Food Pyramid this past Friday. It was very impromptu as we just started talking about healthy eating and it lead to the official food pyramid kid's website: http://www.mypyramid.gov/kids/index.html
So, we printed out a food pyramid and hung it up. The girls colored their own FP's and hung them up. And we are tracking Squeak's food intake and daily activity with the worksheet from the site. After four days, we are going to draw a giant FP and list all the foods Squeak ate so she can see what she eats the most of! Very fun!
