Academics for a kindergartener?

Question

Okay,
I recently started homeschooling my 5 year old because he was falling behind, due to a crowded classroom, an unorganized k-5 program, and a teacher who truly did not care to teach! He has done very well with homeschooling, but how can I be sure that he stays on target, incase we decide that he should return to public school next year?
He is very advanced in Language Arts, but we are pretty stuck in Math and Science. Does anyone have any checklists for kindergarten curriculum? We live in Florida, but info. from any state would be very helpful.

Answer 2

I wish you all the best with your child. It is sad how our teachers often don't seem to care. I would not want that job. Being mom is hard enough. Have you looked into finding a school that caters to your child's academic needs? I would like to hope that your school district would offer some advice or help for you and your family. I live in Ca. and I know things r different out here.

Hi there,

I suggest that you just enjoy your little one as well as getting yourself a book for Gr 3 onwards called "You can teach your child succesfully" by Ruth Beechick.

But for now your goal is to teach your child obediance, how to work in the home, read lots to him and gentle teach letters, sounds, counting and numbers.

Any other themes can be based around his interests - does he like bugs? Sealife? Animals? Cooking? Just use your library.
