For later reference, as he nears the end of Kindergarten (this is day 164) this is a sample of what Brendan can do and how his handwriting is. The green words I helped him to read. He was also given a list of spelling words to choose from.

We are nearing the end of a unit on “The Story About Ping” and China and will move on next week to fables and similar stories. I think that’ll be it for units for the year. He only has 2 more of the optional “companion” Hooked on Phonics chapter books I bought. I’m kind of holding off on starting the 2nd grade set so we are reading other things too and concentrating on Hooked on Spelling. For math he is working in a “Time & Money” workbook. It’ll be probably 2 more weeks before we start the money portion. He should be done with Kindergarten by the 24th of October. For November and December I have the “Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills” for 1st grade to keep his brain sharp and I think we’ll read a fun series or two… perhaps the Magic Treehouse books that we have already started. Nothing big because I definitely need a break from school and I am sure he does too.
