Week:
*Monday-Thursday core curriculum and interest studies
*Friday reserved for Friday School (8 weeks in fall, 10 weeks in spring) and recover/catching up when Friday School is out. A friend is graciously supervising the girls at Friday School and driving them home at the end of the day. This wouldn’t be possible without her!
*Art class weekly – not sure which day yet, but hoping for an afternoon class.
Considering:
Swim lessons weekly, probably in the evening for 1-4 months
Ballet, would be twice a week in the afternoons

The boys:
Daniel, Kindergarten:
Not sure! Skills will be letter recognition, number recognition, counting, colors, shapes… preschool stuff. Learning to hold a pencil. Learning to sit and work. Learning English, how to use a wheelchair, emotional regulation… SO MUCH STUFF. We’ll see how he’s doing as fall approaches. I have plenty of leftover preschool and kingergarten stuff I can offer him if he shows interest during schooltime.
Things I have that I hope he will try:
Brain Quest Workbook, Pre-K
Kumon: Coloring
Kumon: Tracing
Kumon: Sticker & Paste
Kumon: Mazes
Kumon: Letters
Read-aloud, picture books
Jordan, 4th grade:
Puzzling over how to incorporate Jordan into the school day best. He’s not in a place where he can attend to academic schoolwork, but he is still working on many things. I expect to have a respite provider with him two days per week.
