Of course, many more things to consider for Kindergarten than academics but I haven't planned them out yet.
Reading:
GOAL:
To move from current level of slowly blending cvc words to:
- being able to recognize basic level K-1 Dolch words
- read cvc, cvcv, cv, and several cvcc words
- continue learning the phonics sounds of each letter and blends (from All About Spelling)
- want him to feel that he likes reading!

Books/Literature:
GOAL:

Audio books
Magic Tree House
FIAR books
Hand Writing:
GOAL: Improve handwriting so that it becomes more fluent. Currently working on numbers and most lower case letters. (Upper case letters are all recognizable).
Probably need to do a bit on hand position

Handwriting without Tears -- manipulatives
LEGO, clay, sand/rice writing, sidewalk chalk, paint

Science/History/Geography:
GOAL: Explore all topics on a regular basis to get the "hooks" for more indepth learning later on. Might be interesting to do 2 week units on topics -- alternating between Science and History? Maybe a "theme of the 2 weeks" to focus all reading/internet videos/activities/games on...
