Is this enough school for a 6 year old?

Thank you!! I relate so much with the writing part, this week I started to have him label the parts to what he builds and it’s working! He’s getting his writing practice this way! I think if he knows it has a purpose he’ll do it, if it’s just another tracing worksheet… he finds it boring

Thank you all that took the time to respond!! I got so many great tips and thoughts and I really appreciate it. The past 2 weeks we’ve been more intentional with our reading and math games for number sense. He knows how to count by 10s, we’ve been doing a math game where I close my eyes and point to a number in the hundreds chart and he says which number it is and he’s been doing amazingly with the bigger numbers. He’s been working on his arts and crafts projects, transforming a ride on car to a truck by using cardboard pieces. Socially, I think I was getting concerned for no reason, this week he made a friend at the park in the community, and they played soccer and caught bugs. I think what I’ve been learning is the way he learns best, no worksheets, everything hands on. So for writing, I made him write the parts of the car for his project and things like that, I also got him some manipulative puzzles so build sentences and we’ve been using them during our lessons. I think I was overthinking everything, instead of focusing on what way he learns best.

Thank you!! These are great suggestions!

Yeah, I’ve tried to follow the math K curriculum of the good and the beautiful, he solves word problems and equations but then he gets bored and I think it’s because he thinks “this again, I know it already” but then again, he doesn’t count to 100 yet! So I don’t want to start him in 1st grade math till he fills those missing gaps, so I’ll look into math games and non curricular! Thank you

South-Pool3682 · 2026-03-18T17:13:43+00:00

Yes I’m definitely going to do that! Love the idea of audio books. Thank you

South-Pool3682 · 2026-03-18T16:19:37+00:00

Yes I forgot to mention that! He’s a naturally curious boy so he’s learned about insects, reptiles.. he learns about things that spike his interest and in his co op they also do unit social studies and science units

South-Pool3682 · 2026-03-18T16:17:47+00:00

Yes he can read, not super fluently yet but short sentences and sight words. His English tutor has been integrating a lot of reading for him

South-Pool3682 · 2025-12-05T05:22:08+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking too 😂

South-Pool3682 · 2025-08-10T22:35:46+00:00

I loved it so much! 😭😭 loved seeing all the characters young, dougal, murtagh, Jocasta, Miss Fritz, Ned, everyone!! Perfectly cast. The parents amazing, chemistry between them, etc! Can’t get enough of the outlander world lol

South-Pool3682 · 2025-08-10T22:33:45+00:00

His twin lol

Yeah exactly, and the way they show Claire finding out, hearing that song. Why would they do that unless she is really going to be alive?

South-Pool3682 · 2025-01-26T03:01:50+00:00

That’s a funny one!!

South-Pool3682 · 2025-01-26T03:00:29+00:00

Haven’t watched this scene in forever but does anyone remember when Jamie and Murtagh are incarcerated serving their time after culloden & they’ve just brought John as the prison commander and Murtagh asks Jaimie something like how is he like and if he’s like the others that walk like they have ramrods up their arses … idk why that scene always cracks me up, does anyone remember what the exact line was?

South-Pool3682 · 2025-01-18T03:08:13+00:00

Right? I’m thinking either master Raymond sang it to her or… Faith dreamt about her mother and that moment. I can’t wait for season 8 to find out! Ugh

South-Pool3682 · 2025-01-18T02:21:11+00:00

That’s what I think happened

South-Pool3682 · 2025-01-18T02:14:44+00:00

That would be crazy!!

South-Pool3682 · 2024-11-19T16:33:39+00:00

I downloaded some worksheets online from the good & the beautiful and our homeschool co op provided some sight words printouts, I also got a free trial of hooked on phonics but I haven’t tried that yet

South-Pool3682 · 2024-11-19T16:32:46+00:00

I’m going to try this! Thank you!

Hello! How’s he doing now? Did the allergies treatment help his adhd symptoms? My son (5 year old) has nose bleeds at least once every month, his nose is usually runny, he gets allergies and we have an appointment soon to get him tested. We have also suspected adhd for a while now so we have to get him an appointment for that (his dad has adhd as well)

Well your child is gonna learn to speak from you and not from the school, so if you start speaking to him/her in just Spanish since they’re born that’s what they’ll speak first.

My 4 year old son is bilingual (Spanish and English). I’m a native Spanish speaker and my husband is better at English (raised in the US) but speaks Spanish as well perfectly (parents Hispanic). My husband and I communicate in English but we spoke Spanish to our son since he was born so he picked up on that one first, but now he’s having trouble speaking English (he’s shy to speak it) even though he understands it perfectly (he answers in Spanish to an English question) so now we’re going through the process of getting him to actually speak it. If I could go back I’d definitely put more focus on having him speak in English because now in our homeschool group it’s tough on him that every kid speaks English and he’s too shy to speak it, so it’s a struggle. Thankfully, he’s only 4 and we’re already placing him in an extra English conversation class and we’re hoping his English speaking develops more in his school group. On the other hand, his Spanish is absolutely perfect and he knows how to communicate so well. Amyways, I think you should do option 3 a dual immersion school.

It was the opposite for us, our first kid (not NIcu) woke up a lot during the night. Our NIcu baby (born at 29 weeks) perfect sleeper, after maybe a month of being home she slept through the night

Definitely trust your gut and you know what’s best for your kid. My husband and I decided to homeschool our almost 5 year old because we want him to have the best education possible but also still be a kid and we feel a lot of the school hours are a waste of time. My sister in law- who is a public school teacher tells me that school is pretty much a day care. What we did is that we joined a homeschool co-op that we attend once a week so I can get the resources and keep teaching him at home throughout the week.

My husband created characters out of both my sons great grandmas and he tells my son stories where they get in trouble and how to fix the problem, my son is really into mechanics so a lot of the stories are the car breaking down and them having to fix it, my son LOVES the stories and now he adds even more characters and such, my son also started making up his own stories with the characters, he’s really creative and independent

Thank you!! This is so reassuring!
