We've been taking it easy here this year, working on things as we like. My main goals are to progress with reading, writing, and math skills and to focus on Bible and character training. We switched our Bible story and devotion time to just before bed and got Daddy involved, and now our whole family gets to talk and pray together before bed. In an ideal world we'd all be alive enough to do this at breakfast but Mommy is not a morning person :), and the kids are not always the easiest in the morning either.
For the reading we've been practicing reading books that are for second grade, and working our way through the Starfall website's first grade readers just to make sure we aren't skipping any skills. Last year we finished classical phonics which was supposed to cover phonics rules through second grade but I feel like we still could use some practice so I'm not moving further ahead just yet. We are also reading books from the My Father's World kindergarten themes, although I've been mixing them up so that we're reading the ones that interest us.
For math we do starfall, add and subtract objects, play games, quiz each other in the tub. Basically just practice when we feel like practicing.
For writing we just finished the Rod and Staff About Three workbook, which gives lots of fine motor skill practice, and we started the bigger steps workbook which is for four-year-olds. I also have some letter tracing worksheets in page protectors that Henry likes to do with dry erase markers so he can do them over and over again. For fine motor skill practice we do coloring and other crafts every day.
For science we stick to the My Father's World books and activity suggestions, and this is the area that I let slide when we get too busy.
