Ahead of the Learning Curve

After a summer of homeschooling our daughter, we are getting ready for the beginning of a new school year in either public or a charter school. Homeschool is just not going to fit in to our busy lives right now, so it will be a long-term goal. We are continually teaching our children at every opportunity, as any parent should, and I am most impressed by eight year old's abilities in math. 

We are going to be supplementing her institutional studies with a variety of resources, including the Khan Academy. We are progressing through the lessons nicely, and she is really proud of her accomplishments. The system shows awards for mastered areas. She is doing three digit addition with carrying in her head fairly consistently. She will be going into third grade soon, but is already way ahead of her peers. Sometimes she jots down part of the problem on paper, but she is really proud to be challenging her parents on her mathematics ability. I couldn't be more proud.
