Joshua -
1) Learn to write in cursive fluently. We started this last year but I really, totally dropped the ball. I planned on working on it this summer but, well, that didn't happen. So we will do this. I may even order a true homeschool curriculum workbook if I don't feel like is regular book is enough (And yes, they teach cursive in his school)
2) Finish is AWANA book. Last year we got behind so this year I plan on counting all of his sections and dividing them by the weeks to make sure that we get it done AND get it done early. He can do it!
3) Read. Every day if possible. As much as I love to read, you would think I'd make my kids read alot but I don't. It's like pulling teeth! BUT, I'm putting our reading goal sheet back into play for them to earn rewards based on the number of books read.
4) Start piano lessons. We've waited until third grade to start lessons to make sure he could read well enough to understand his lessons. So first, I need to find a good teacher and then the lessons will start.
5) Turn in his lesson work on time - there are often journals and extra work that has to be done and I am always late! I want to get that stuff done on time this year.
Nathan -
1) Refine his printing and work on holding the pencil correctly. I also want to make sure that we start and finish the cursive handwriting that begins this year.
2) Finish his AWANA book twice. He did this last year and started the next book so I don't see it being a problem. He is a quick memorizer which is a great thing!
3) Read. Every day if possible. As much as I love to read, you would think I'd make my kids read alot but I don't. It's like pulling teeth! BUT, I'm putting our reading goal sheet back into play for them to earn rewards based on the number of books read.
4) Turn in his lesson work on time. (Just like Josh!)
** I do not plan on starting Nate in piano lessons this year - but it isn't out of the question. I want to start Josh first and then go from there.
