Ava on the other hand. Good Lord. What's expected of her in Kindergarten is shit she's been doing for at least 2 years.
Some of it we just laugh with her while she completes the assignment while rolling her eyes. I'm not even kidding.
"How do you say POLICE MAN"
"PO-LEEESE MAAN"
"Now repeat after me"
Like WTF? Ava looked at us like You've Gotta Be Kidding Me.
But, some of it is cool, too!
Cutting/pasting and labeling parts of a tree.
Read a book together and she had to identify the main characters and draw them. And indicate if she liked the book or not.
Next up, scavenger hunt!
And no, we don't change out of pajamas on homeschool days.
Because I think they both can be challenged more, Steve and I decided that we'd supplement their learning with our own stuff.
Nothing formal of course.
I got them KiwiCo STEM projects. This Halloween themed one arrived first and they put it together with Steve (which is why I don't have any pics). But they put this together and then did some science to get the bubbling cauldron going!
I have another one on its way that is a mechanical gear STEM project. I actually picked that one out for Steve, figuring he'd love to work on it with the girls.
If this turns into something they like, I may sign us up for the subscription where they each get a box each month. We'll see.
So far the one was really cool (that's what they told me since I could not participate).
Continuing to look for challenging crafts and projects for them. They are flying through the regular school stuff that's being assigned.
