Co-op

The parents were invited to sit in on this week's assembly at Streed's co-op. It was a review day of all the info they have learned in the past 15 weeks. And let me assure you it is a lot. It was fun to see not only his age group but also up to 4th grade stating science facts, history timelines etc all the way from Clovis, leader of the Franks, to Truman ordering the dropping of the atomic bomb. Streed thought that sounded cool...I had to explain that it in fact was not. And now we are on a break from his co-op until January. It was nice this week to enjoy a Thanksgiving break. We will start Monday with light review and phonics, phonics, phonics. I was worried about his reading ability but several people have told me lately that I am probably just having too high of expectations. I do not personally know any "normal" kindergarteners in which to compare Streed's reading ability. Some of my good friends' kids are just advanced in a lot of ways. You know who you are!!! :) So now I am more relaxed and am just going to teach him at a good pace. Isn't that one of the beauties of homeschool? Another piece of advice I was given: "if you are not having fun during Kindergarten homeschool, you are doing something wrong".
