2009 - 2010 School Books Arrived

I was so excited last night when the UPS guy showed up to my house. He had two huge boxes from K12.com that had Zachary's school books in them. I started opening them up and was excited about some of the subjects like Health, P.E, and Art. However, when I came to the science I laughed. The little readers that came with it looks really neat however, the textbook is the same textbook that we did last year. So, I don't know how that is going to work if I have to ask Zachary to re-read the same textbook that he read last year. I also looked at the math and it was way below Zachary's level. He ended last year working on high level multiplication, division and fractions and many more. This book starts with adding 5+5 and then teaching how to add w/carrying, subtract with borrowing, beginning mulitplication, beginning division, beginning measurements and so forth.

I haven't looked at the Language Arts stuff so I don't know what level it is compared to what level Zachary was doing last year. I did look at the Social Studies book and it is the next grade level that we have at the house that we looked and read some in last year to get Zachary ready for the 2nd grade CBE's.

I don't know who Zachary's teacher wil be yet but when I do I will have plenty to discuss with her/him. What do we do with his Science and Math? Hopefully I will find out soon who his teacher will be and we can beginning to start dealing with these issues.
