Hi, long-time lurker, first-time poster. I always learn so much from this board, so I hope you don't mind me posting an afterschooling question here.
Our family is moving to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in June. My son (age 4) currently attends a French immersion preschool 3 days per week, Spanish immersion 2 days per week, and Hebrew School (in English) one day per week. I have always supplemented his education, and I think that he is currently at about a K-1 level.
Some background on where he is at: He knows all letter sounds and is learning to read with Reading Eggs and simple readers like the Bob books -- he can currently read short CVC sentences (the cat sat on the mat, etc). He knows 1-20 pretty well (definitely 1-10 in Spanish and French, but not down cold above that). He has a good general awareness of 1-100 (90 is bigger than 40, etc.). He can do some basic addition and subtraction, like in playing Sum Swamp.
He will be attending a private Mexican preschool in the fall at the PK4 level. It is almost entirely Spanish immersion (they will have one English class and will add French in the 1st grade). I would like to continue to supplement him, but now that he is going to be a bit older, I'd like to do it a bit more rigorously than in years past.
With that background, my husband and I are hoping to afterschool him with the following programs, and we were looking for feedback on age-appropriateness, quality and fun-factor of these curricula, and whether you all think this is doable given that he will be in school for half the day. I understand that we may not be able to cover all of this in a traditional homeschool year; my goal is just to keep him challenged and to avoid gaps because he is enrolled in schools where his foreign language proficiency might impede his ability to learn the fundamentals. Also, although we are Jewish, we still believe in evolution/the Big Bang, etc. So, I am not looking for anything that is overtly Christian/New Testament or teaches from a New Earth perspective.
