    Stupid IRS

    Did you have the ACA penalty? There was a glitch with early filers with the ACA penalty. The computer system put a hold on the refunds. IRS is finally going in manually and processing the returns. You should have a direct deposit date very soon. I filed the 23rd and no update on where's my refund yet but I called the IRS and told the hold was lifted today and I should have my refund by next week.

    I don't feel like we are doing enough.

    Your kinder list looks like WAY enough. It would be a great 1st grade list.

     

    I'm not familiar with CLE LA, so I can't exactly speak to that. But if it's comparable to the FLL, WWE, AAR language arts line up you have for your daughter, I'm sure its great. With math, history, and science added...looks good to me.

     

    There are things you could add if you WANTED. A foreign language, geography, art or music appreciation, nature study. But I wouldn't add anything just because you want the day to be longer. You don't NEED to add anything.

    She misses the public school cut off by 3 weeks so she is technically a K'er but more on 1st grade level. Thank you ladies. I always feel like we need to do more because our days are so short but it's nice to know we are doing enough.

    DS is 2nd grade and is doing:

    CLE LA 3

    BJU math 3

    SOTW 2

    Science right now is library books and experiments

     

    DD is in K and is doing:

    CLE math 1

    First language lessons 1

    Writing with ease 1

    SOTW 2

    Science is library books and experiments

    All about reading 1

    ETC 3 for phonics reinforcement/handwriting/spelling

     

    The problem is I feel that we get done so fast. My K'er is usually done in less than an hr and my 2nd grader is done in bout 1.5 hrs. Is there anything I need to add or are they just quick workers?

    staying home alone ?

    I leave my 7.5 yr old every Friday for two hours while the girls have ballet. He hates going and I can trust him to sit and watch tv, read a book or play while I am gone. He has been left alone 1x a week since Aug. and he does perfectly fine with it.
