So Middlest, would technically start kindergarten this fall, but she's smart as a whip already and highly distracted. I've known for a while that find a curriculum for her would be tough! we signed on with K12 for History and Science, and short of tying her to a chair, getting her motivated is tough! So I'm switching out again.
I've been looking out the Oak Meadow stuff that I had ordered, what now seems a century ago - for Oldest. I think it might be a good fit. It's definitely more open ended, short sitting times, and more hands on natural, which might work for her.
She hates reading (the process) but loves being read to, so this is a good opportunity for her. We're gonna run with it. I just need to get my hands on some beeswax and beeswax crayons. (the chick in the Blic, here looked at me like I had 5 heads when I asked for beeswax crayons, like what is wrong with the regular kind! and then wouldn't help any further.)
So that's where we're at. The oldest is gonna follow along with the art stuff, and keep on with her mixed bag of things, and if all goes well maybe we'll phase in what Middlest is doing for Oldest too. We'll see!
I'm actually excited again! :)
