Are any of you interested in joining me for an online preschool "group" of sorts? I so often struggle to purposefully interact with my kids. So during this upcoming school year I am going to try and do a few small activities a day following a theme each week. I am hoping that some of you, as...

We got DS5's first report card ever yesterday. It's so cute! He's pretty much meeting every expectation for Kindergarten except in a couple of areas: Physical Skills and Well Being, Personal and Social Responsibility, and Creative Expression. It's only one thing in a couple of those sections...

Need a teachers help here.It seems I have to make choice about my child's education. A little background: She is six, she was in K last year at a Charter school. It seamed to me that early on in the year her teacher started talking me into retaining my daughter. She said she was struggling with...

~I'm homeschooling my ds starting this fall and was curious how much of my day it's gonna take. According to "Homeschooling for Dummies" I should allow about 2 hours a day. That actually seems to intense for a 5 year old to me. And is it possible to use an unschooling method this early in the...

She'll be 5 in the fall, and will be starting school. I was so excited for the other kids, but I"m really sad with this. She's my baby!!! I don't want her to grow up! That said, I'm already geared to going part time with the childcare so I can go to school with her 1 morning a week, and have 1...

It's not too late (or too early) to start helping young children get ready for kindergarten! We are now taking pre-orders for the 2007-2008 Kindergarten Readiness Calendar! When children start school ready to learn, they have a much better chance of succeeding as they go through school - and in...

I'm a bit disappointed in my son's K-graduation. Several months ago the school sent home a packet to order graduation pics. The pics came and were really nice. The kids wore cap & gowns in the pictures (nice one's not cheapy ones). Anyway...today was the actual awards ceremony. The kids...

I understand that most of the country now has full day kindergarten in public schools. The town I live in is currently half day with the possibility of going full day next year. A lot of people in town are divided on this issue and I'm just wondering what's going on where you live.

Granted this is only her 5th day. Her school has full day kindergarten. Before this she was going to preschool 3 days/week for 3 hrs/day. I should mention that she will be 6 in December, and is therefore one of the oldest kids in the class and is bored with what they are doing there. She told...

Where does the time go? I can't stop crying...she just looked so little getting on the bus. :( I know it will get easier to say goodbye, but she is my last baby, and I guess this just reminds me of how quickly they grow up.

This was at one of the orientations at Zachary's new school.

Just a curious question for those of you who used a purchased curriculum for kindergarten (since I have been exploring a variety of curriculums) - which did you use and why?
