Brooke's Kindergarten homeschool curriculum

So, a couple of weeks ago I got an email about Calvert curriculum and how they where going to do an efficancy study.  One group would use their curriculum for free and the other group would use what ever curriculum they wanted but would get paid.  Only a few kids would be selected.  So, I entered Brooke up for the Kindergarten level.  With her only being 3 and turning 4 on Dec. 16, 2011 I did not think she would be selected.  I got an email and she was selected.

She had to take a pre-test, and later she will take a mid-way test and another test at the end to see how she has progressed.  She took the pre-test and she scored just a couple of points from a Kindergarten level for math.  For reading she scored into the third month of Kindergarten.  Her scores for reading was anywhere to low Kindergarten to high kindergarten level.  The only score on the reading that was very skewed based on her age was the oral vocabulary.  Oral Vocabulary was up into the 2nd grade level.  So, I have a very talkative little girl, well I could have told them that.

We should get the Kindergarten curriculum the day before her 4th birthday.  Which will be so much fun.  She asks to do school work 7 days a week and she usually starts asking around 7:30 a.m. and will ask all day long.
