NOW INSTEAD, WE WILL TAKE A FRIENDLY AND CASUAL APPROACH AND DO AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS HE WANTS...
so Caleb starts Kindergarten next Thursday (1/2 the class goes), he's off Friday and starts full fledge on the following Monday...
me being the slacker mom have done like 2 pages of the 30+page Summer packet we got at the end of Pre-K to prepare the kids for Kindergarten. DOH!!!
so, in true college style, I have cleared my schedule to do a cram session next week! Yes, I 'm serious. Us slacker moms must do what we have to do. Tee hee.
Location: Local Library, away from the computer and television so I don't even have to deal with temptation in his face
On the agenda, in case anyone wants to do their own boot camp:
1. Practice letter writing
2. Word match up games for reading
3. Reading as many of the following words (at, be, big, but, by, can, come, did, do, does, five, for, four, from, get, had, has, have, he, help, her, here, him, his, I, if, in, is, it, just, like, little, look, make, me, my, no, not, of, on, one, out, pretty, say, says, said, see, she, so, some, that, the, them, then, there, they, this, three, to, too, two, under, up, walk, was, we, what, when, where, who, will, yes, you, your, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, orange, red, green, blue, yellow, white, brown, black, brown, purple, pink, twelve, eleven, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December) PHEW!!!

I KNOW IT MIGHT BE TOO MUCH FOR THE KID AND I HOPE TO DO JUST 3 HOURS A DAY BROKEN UP INTO 20 MINUTE SESSIONS EACH.

30+ pages? Good lord, that is a ton of work! Here I am just pleased that Girlie can spell and write her name...sometimes. :-P Good luck with that.
dee, i've changed my mind with the help of other electronic friends who told me I was insane and overreacting (prolly cause of pregnancy hormones)
i think we'll just do the best we can and not obsess.
