Nov.-Jan. Months in Review

We had busy months during the holidays.  I did not keep up with the blog properly during that time.  Here is a quick photo run-through of our goings on during the holidays.

We finished kindergarten math and language arts before Christmas.  We have started first grade, but are taking our time with it.  There are lots of concepts in math to master instead of rushing through them.

K12 is working well for us in this manner.  It lets us plug away when we need to and move quickly, but also allows us to slow down and take our time when needed. 

We are doing lots of extras on the side.  We do co-ops.  Yes, plural.  We have one co-op that is music, art, and drama as well as Spanish.  Wiggles name for Spanish class is Juan.  Our other co-op provides classes such as science, storytime, and crafts. 

This is working for us to round out our day and provide ample play time and friends.  

October 2012

Wiggles went to the Revel and got to make sand art and get his face painted.

He helped his older sister make pottery for art with air dry clay.

He had a tooth extracted!

He got a horrible tummy bug and got to be a skeleton for Halloween.

 

Mostly, he just had fun!

K12 Learning

The history for K12 kindergarten is really pretty neat.  The kids make a passport in one of the first few lessons and learn about travelling.  They then go on to make suitcases for the continents and “travel” to each country. 

Wiggles already knows how to read and write.  He is in the making creative writing stage and wanting to make words into sentences.  His birthday kept him from starting 1st this year even though he was ready for 1st grade work.  We are working hard to finish out the kindergarten work quickly.  Here he is doing his non-k12 work. He is practicing spelling these words.

He was practicing subtraction with the counters.  Just for fun, I threw in the picture of Wiggles Lorax.

Earth Day

We went to Earth Day at the rec center.  There was a local elementary school there.  Wiggle’s Big Bubba was there for the Boy/Cub Scouts booth.

 

Wiggles is imitating the big kids.  The teachers were trying to get the kids to sit and be quiet for lunch and a historian to speak.  Wiggles did this in about 5 seconds…the 5th graders…well, the historian had to get on to them a lot.

Wiggles petting a gigantic snake and a ferret. 

 

Wiggles also got to tour a fire truck. 

We are on a break from school work with the big kids…so our reports are mainly life school for now with lots of field trips.

Weekly Report 4/16/2010

Wiggles worked with his sandpaper letters this week.  The big kids took their CAT test on Monday.  The rest of the week has been super laid back.

Cubaree

Bubba is in cub scouts and cubaree was a few weekends ago.  Wiggles got to go during the day and really enjoyed himself.

He is tickled pink learning to shoot a bow and arrow.

 

This is our lunch break at the camp site.  Bubba was still at the bb range fulfilling his requirements for his bb pin.

It was a fun time.  I can’t wait until Wiggles is a scout too.  Our pack is very family friendly and all the siblings are included.
