I'm the new teacher. Jason is the new principle. Connor's work is mainly on-line and he's independent with it. We check in on him once in a while, but for the most part he just wakes up in the morning and starts doing his work. Luckily the kid is a math genius! We're so glad about that because neither of us understand the new Common Core way of doing math. He's still working with his tutor for reading, but at this point I'm not sure we even need a tutor anymore. He's reading really good and he loves to read. If he's not playing with his brother I can almost guarantee he's either in his bedroom reading his book or in the basement playing at his Lego table. He's such a good kid.
Kaiden is good too, but being that he's only 5 it's harder to keep him focused. And he can't work independent on his homework. I can usually get him to sit and work for 1 hour before he needs a break. I bought both the boys Brain Quest home school books. Connor I bought 5th grade, which some of the pages are super easy for him but at least it's a refresher. Kaiden I bought 1st grade. The work they are doing in kindergarten now is more equivalent to 1st grade work. He's already reading books, which when Connor went through this he was in 1st grade before they started reading books. Kaiden is already doing addition and subtraction too. We spend 1 hour in the morning working then in the afternoon I bring both the boys to the table to complete 3-4 pages in their Brain Quest home school books. That's a little more challenging for me since I'm toggling between both of them. Then we try to do a science project, which the boys love.
Oil and Water science project.
Connor and I practiced tennis in the backyard.
Science project- dissolving egg shell with vinegar.
