Several {ok…way more than several} of you have emailed and asked what in the world we will be doing with Kaleb next year for school. Is he moving up to 1st grade? Will I be finishing up the rest of the literature based printables that began this year?
The short answers are no and yes. {And yes, I enjoy being difficult! ~ grins}.
Kaleb’s birthday falls at the end of November and at the moment it’s a little hard to place him grade-wise {well, based on the public school timeline it is}. Because there are different activities that we participate in, we have to say he is in PreK or K or whatever appropriate level applies.
BUT…at the moment he isn’t quite ready for 1st grade for various reasons ~ some skills that he hasn’t fully grasped, the need to ‘mature’ a bit so he can work on different skils…and while I flip-flopped back and forth trying to figure out how to handle it, I realized something.
We homeschool. Kaleb can be mid-year and that is ok. As he is ready to move up to the next level, he can. {Yes, that would be a ‘duh’ moment}.
{For the record…it’s ok to be mid-level ~ I’ll give you permission, m’kay?}.
So the LONG answer {assuming you are still reading this} is that we will still be working on literature-based printables and other printable packs and adding in additional curriculum pieces to round out our year. When Kaleb is ready to move up, we’ll just ease into it.
That would be the beauty of homeschooling. We can work on what is appropriate for each one of our kiddos.
And I’m ok with that.
