Princess and Fairy are still working toward finishing up their k12 curriculum for this year.
We have a meeting Tuesday with a homeschool charter that will allow Princess to work at her own pace and is going to test her to find her actual knowledge level. She will be starting next year. They also provide money for extra classes and she is looking forward to Tahitian dance.
The preschool set will be working on the letter B, number 1, and simple addition. We have library Monday, and Thursday also.
This week we are also going to start practicing for our end of year graduation. I want to provide them with a fun graduation since we have a kindergartner graduating to first, and a preschooler graduating to kindergarten. I don't want to separate out all the others so they will all be joining.
Princess will be saying a poem.
Fairy, Bumble Bee, Buddy and Baby girl will each have their own songs. Then they will all sing Brown Bear Brown Bear.
I have to finish planning but I want them to have something great to remember.

This week
This week has been really busy. We have had to school around looking for new tires for the truck and going to pick up school forms for Buddy and Princess. Princess has decided she wants to try a charter school that gives us lots more freedom than CAVA. We will be registering next week.
Princess attended this homeschool charter school for Early Enrollment Kindergarten. They do suggest what you should teach but you also write down what you covered and can jump around as needed. I will be able to follow her interest more and she can learn the way she chooses. I was very happy before with this school and I do believe she will enjoy this year more than she has the last two years of repeat work we have been doing.
For preschool we worked on Shapes and Patterns in Math. We worked on the Letter a and practiced writing.
Princess has managed to finish about 65% of this years work with CAVA, we were at 20% in Jan.
Fairy is at 70% complete in her work with CAVA and that is an improvement from 50% in Jan.
They are working very, very hard.

This week April 1, 2013
Princess is hard at work trying to catch up on work from CAVA. She fell behind when I was sick and then she got sick. It has been a bad year. We are about half way through the school work for the year with 2 months left. Luckily she knows most of the work and we tested completely out of Phonics. This week I am going to test her to see what we still need to work on this year. Since we are working on our own next year it will not matter to much.
Fairy is about 20% behind and has now decided she does not want to work anymore. I had to tell her today that if she wants to go to a public classroom next year and be in first grade then she had better get to work. She is able to test out of a lot of things too this week.
Bumble Bee worked on reading today. We went over letter sounds, short a words and ending sounds in a word. She did really well. I was proud of her.
Buddy and Baby Girl decided not to do any class work today.
Bumble Bee, Buddy and Baby Girl will continue working on Letter Sounds and the Alphabet in general. We will also be talking about time. The hands on a clock and what they mean.
Well I have to go get the kids up from nap so we can head off to the library.
