This summer we are working on learning to write, using Montessori sand paper letters and free handwriting printables. At the current rate, we'll be through the alphabet and the numbers by mid-September. At that point she'll be able to write numbers, and that will open up a world of math learning options.

Once we've finished the handwriting, the plan to continue with reading is to focus upon learning words by writing them. She LOVES to write, especially letters to people. And I've noticed that she remembers words that she has written several times in her letters when she sees them. So we are going to do more with that, writing little captions to pictures, other letters, and things like that. I also plan on using Bob books and maybe revisiting Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons for the last lessons.

As for math, we are using a lot of manipulatives. Montessori materials (addition/subtraction boards, multiplication board, beads through 1000, the stamp game) and toys (Discovery toy's Playful Patterns, a marble run, legos, etc.). I need to remember to do clocks and money.

For science, we are going to use the Science Wiz electricity kit and science experiment books from the library.

I also want to continue doing things with Spanish.

For social studies, books from the library.

That's as far as I've gotten. I think this should take us through December. After that we'll see what we're missing from the content standards, if anything, and fill them in in the spring.
