Finishing math early, now what do I do?

[Cortana]

Ds is doing R&S preschool series. I flipped through his math workbook today and realize that we have just 10 days worth of lessons left and he will have completed the entire book (I set him 2 pages per day to do). This is phenomenal since he is mentally handicapped and his previous ps teacher had told us she couldn't get him to count to 10 consistantly (this was in October 2009) yet he is now starting to learn beginning addition and subtraction facts and is understanding what comes before and after certain numbers. :D

 

We still have about 6 weeks before we take a 2 week break then start our summer lessons and I have no idea what to do. I don't want to lose the time and have him begin to forget what he's learned but I don't want to start into the next math book yet (we're continuing with R&S math since it's definatly working for him).

 

Any ideas on what to do? Just keep reviewing with him on what he's learned so far?

... I don't want to start into the next math book yet

 

Why not? Just take it really easy up until the two week break, or play math games with him.

I have the same 'problem', so I have no advice :D, I just wanted to congratulate you with this:

Good job, Mom and son!!!!
