N recently completed his Kindergarten math workbook. I ordered the 1st grade book for him this week, as well as the 1st grade speller. He is more than ready for both!

I looked at last year's calendar and realized that C also finished his K math workbook around this same time.

C won't finish the 1st grade math book before the end of May, I don't think. There's a chance, I suppose -- but it doesn't look that way. We recently added a reading comprehension workbook to his studies and that is a 3rd grade book. His spelling book is 2nd grade, as well as his grammar book.

Next year, we'll have sacrament preparation for C, which will add to our workload. We'll also do more focused science and social study work. For these reasons, I don't think he'll jump ahead as much as he did this year in his studies.

We worked until about a week before L's birth last spring (late April), and I plan to work through May this year. We're taking next week as our spring break, since it works perfectly into some family things. We won't do any dedicated schooling in June or July and then start up again mid-August. The boys will attend zoo camp this summer, and hopefully camp at the natural history museum. I'm not sure if we'll be able to afford both this year.
