Inspiring Julia
I told Julia that we were going to study dinosaurs during this summer. I don't know if she really understood but she was happy. Now to figure out what that means. I looked for the WI educational standards to see what expectation are for K, first and second grade. Then, it dawned on me that I don't want to set goals based on how many words she can read or what kind of addition she can do. Rather, I want to see Julia working happily and with excitement. How to do this? How to do this? How to do this?

Definitely dig into some Montessori readings and see what you can find. I think it would be the perfect setting for Julia. Good luck!!
I'd like to hear Julia's version of what is a dinosaur, and why they are so important. What noble characteristics do dinosaurs possess that humans might do well to incorporate? Perhaps a dinosaur party, and having to adjust a recipe to accommodate a certain number of dinosaurs . . . Do the dinosaurs have names? -- how to spell them (for place cards) . . . Have fun!
