We've decided to keep dg4 out of kindergarten though he only misses the cut off by a few weeks and some schools will let him in. We want to keep him home, because we're selfish and we love him and we want another year with him before we ship him off every day to school for the rest of his life.
However, he's a smart bloke and I have a plan. I'm going to work with him for at least 1/2 hr. every day for the next year. I'm hoping if he does well when he goes into kindergarten and can read and has great math skills they will catapult him to first grade. That way we get to keep him another year and he still ends up where he should probably be.
Today we read In A People House by Theo. LeSieg and we were discussing the finer points of compound words like GOLDFISH and BATHTUB. He went funny on me when we got to the word buttons (I know, not compound). B-U-TT spells butt. *giggles* O-N spells on.
"So put them together and what do they spell?"
"On a lot of butts!" *Outrageous laughter* We couldn't help it. The real question is why?
He thinks he's so funny; it's funny. Here's a joke he told us tonight.
"Why did the elephant sit on the grass?"
"I don't know, why?"
"So he could itch his back." We laughed, he laughed. The real question is why?
