But, then, I do admit (with guilt) that it does take a lot of my time and also being another Gen X, I'd ask kids to stay away from social medias until they are old enough to work. <br /><br />Just my 2 cents worth of thoughts.Mystique Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836984416214604884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6253101186238605452.post-37634507424610675542015-02-03T13:29:52.927-06:002015-02-03T13:29:52.927-06:00I didn't know that, but it is nice to know.

Over the years we've figured out what has worked and what hasn't. Kindergarten has become ridiculously simple: we concentrate on reading, writing and arithmetic. Anything beyond that they pick up whether you're planning it or not. We get books from the library - anything of interest - and while I provide paper, crayons and colored pencils, I give no art direction whatsoever. Anything the children are interested in (sewing, etc.) I teach as they show interest. Children of that age naturally want to help cook and that is a lesson all by itself. We have animal encyclopedias and such and those, plus books in general, provide any science instruction that I feel like doing. Science usually "just happens" in ordinary living.<br /><br />For kindergarten (as of last year, since I don't have a kindergartener this year) we use Abeka for math and phonics. We start spelling (Modern Curriculum Press) in 1st grade. For beginning readers we've used Dick and Jane, Dr. Seuss and anything else lying around.
