Academic Subjects
K.S.A. 72-1101 requires accredited schools in Kansas to provide instruction in “reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, spelling, English grammar and composition, history of the United States and the state of Kansas, civil government and the duties of citizenship, health and hygiene.” Although not required of nonaccredited private schools, this listing nonetheless provides a useful benchmark.
The alphabet
DS1's day care teacher wrote a note recently that she didn't realize he recognized all of his letters. Then she wrote "good job [our (parents) names]." A couple of days later I told her that it wasn't our "good job". We haven't drilled DS1 on his letters. We just talk about them a lot, and we read to him a lot.
He impressed Grandpa and Aunt D Sunday by telling them how is name is spelled, and how his little brother's name is spelled, too. He remembers things very well, and learns quickly!
