School's Out!

C is done with school! He just finished his last paper. I can't believe he is done with Kindergarten. That means he will be in 1st grade next year. Oh dear! I am very proud of him though. He has learned so much this year: reading (he's at a 4th grade level), addition, simple subtraction, simple story problems, money, counting by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s, many poems, many Bible verses (one for each letter of the alphabet plus others), simple science, hymns, about different countries, community helpers. It's so exciting to see where he started and now see where he is.

It will be nice to have time off, but he gets bored so easy (easier than most kids I think). I do have plans to keep his mind somewhat busy this summer. I'm still going to have him practice reading and his combinations (he struggles with some) and do a few papers here and there. Plus we plan on bowling once a week and going to see some free movies. Plus he still has baseball and I'd like for him to do swim lessons again. Whew! Now that I look at all that, I think we will be very busy!
