I had originally planned to just unschool over the summer, but as we near the end of this academic year and I look at the strengths and weaknesses of my kids, I think maybe we should do some very light schooling over the summer. So here are my utterly random thoughts about this...
Elf:
Needs improvement in reading level and remembering math facts...
Idea for reading: Have him read aloud daily, starting with easier books (like level 2 and 3 Bob books), then work his way up to level 2 readers. Also work through Phonics Pathways. Supplement with Starfall.
Idea for math facts: Drill pages left from Saxon Math 2, flashcards.
Fairy:
Need to make sure she recognizes letters A-Z and numbers up to 20. She can verbally say all her letters and can verbally count to 30+, but falls a little short on recognizing the same things on paper.
Idea: Alphabet activities on Starfall. Counting activities from Learning Page.
Does this seem reasonable, or am I being a cruel mom taking their summer away?
