For my second grader, she is truly growing in her reading skills, so I plan to encourage her reading by reading some of the favorites from our homeschool curriculum guide. As I mentioned, this has been a super laid-back semester, but in January we get into gear. I am planning to spend the month of December planning each day of the Spring semester to ensure a great start and finish. I am still undecided about year-round schooling, but it is sounding better by the day.
