Kindergarten

Well Baloo was in public kindergarten for exactly 2 weeks.  He loved it!  He had a wonderful teacher and did great at school.  However, we discovered they used some discipline techniques that we don’t agree with and we just aren’t comfortable with him being in that atmosphere.  So back home it is!  He actually was not disappointed to come home at all, and even thanked me for it.  I do think it was a good experience for him even though he was only there for 2 weeks!  But now we are getting back in the swing of things and trying to get back on track.

We’ve decided to study volcanoes for the rest of August.  These 2 sheets are actually from Homeschool Share.  We decided not to do a lapbook out of it in the end.

I decided to try to fit some PE time in every day.  I tried to teach the boys to do sit ups and push ups.

And we’ve had a lot of reading time.  Those 2 weeks in school really sparked Baloo’s motivation to learn to read! 

I think we’re just about ready to jump back in to kindergarten homeschooling!  Baloo is very excited about it and I am getting there.  It’s been overwhelming going from public back to homeschooling so suddenly.
