Bug is a K-er this year. He has been doing school with us for a couple of years (because he begged) so this year is just a continuation of a lot of things for him. His individual work is as follows:

 

Math- Saxon/Miquon hybrid, math play and games

English- HWOT, alphabet adventures, phonics activites

Logic- games, puzzles, fine motor skill building activities

 

He will also continue to participate with his siblings for science, history, art, music, geography, and read alouds, as well as having access to the activity/learning baskets on our shelves.

We started this Monday. DD turns five in September. We're doing the stuff in the sig. Later, we will also do Draw Write Now if time allows once a week. We may add Songschool Spanish and maybe Lolliepop Logic if he wants to do more later on.

Interesting video, though I still have no idea how you get from point A (kindergarten) to point B (college at 16). That sounds insane to me :D and I can't picture how that can be done. I am curious how this can be accomplished though in our house this type of thing wouldn't be possible because we have to meet NY State requirements with subjects and things so I don't think they'd look kindly on major deviations from a normal school schedule.

 

With my new K-er we are doing ETC books, Bob books, MCP Math, Handwriting, and reading. She might also listen in on some things her brothers are doing, but that's my focus for her for this year.
