DH was getting the girls ready for a weekend trip to Grandma's house. Becca was saying that she wanted to stay up there "for forever!" So I told her that would mean that I couldn't be her teacher and Grandma would have to drop her off at the public school kindergarten and she'd have to learn her letters all over again. She started making faces and saying, "Bo-ring!" I told her she wouldn't be able to learn about Crete or Egypt, or butterflies and elephants, or do "fancy writing" and learn Latin and while I was listing those things she said, "Fun! Exciting!"
Oh, I am just evil. I'm secretly tickled that she's enjoying her learning at home so much. Actually I have no idea what they're doing in public school K right now... I took a peek at what would have been her school's website and saw a list of suggestions for parents working with their kindergarteners. It involved saying the ABC's and counting up to 30 each night as well as practicing writing their name properly (not in all caps). Um.... Okay, it's early in the year, maybe they pick up the pace later. Have I mentioned that we're working on adding and subtracting numbers up to 20?
Hey, it's my blog and I'll brag if I want to!
