[quote=Anonymous]My twins were slated to start K in the fall and we are skipping it. In the spring I taught them to read with the Learning Dynamics 4-weeks-to-read Boxed curriculum. We are learning to count to 100 and do basic math by doing board games and doing projects like I made them count a big bowl of fruit loops by color before eating cereal for lunch one day. They get to watch 30 minutes of educational tv every day (like documentaries, not like Dora is “teaching them spanish”). And we read a LOT. I bring a non-fiction and a fiction chapter boom with us to the park every day and read aloud while they eat. They are at or ahead of end-of-K milestones in most areas and we only do formal “school” for like 30 minutes a day per kid, and not at all on weekends. I don’t know what your relationship with her is but it is very easy to do homeschool for this age, and much more flexible than the nightmare that is DL per all of my friends who did it last year.[/quote]
