Chandler girl is our little angel. Presently she is really into drawing and learning to read. She has mastered writing her name, counting to 100, reading short words,knows where she lives, and most important mommy's cell phone number. Now trust me, this is not because I want her to have a good "resume"....she wants to and loves to"play school", ALL the time. We held her out of preschool this year because we do not want to push the kids to grow up too fast. We feel like they start school at such an early age, and we do not need to do PRE-school. We want her to enjoy her last year at home before she starts kindergarder and all the "official" leaning is going to have to wait. For now, most of our learning takes place in the car. I am super old school and do not have a car with a TV, for that matter a radio either (it broke over 3 years ago, and hasn't been fixed...not in the budget), so we spell and sing and work on letter books as we drive. Other than that...we just PLAY A LOT!!! |
