'For the next two months, there will be no academics in our household.'
My daughter missed the last three months of her preschool year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but I'm not at all concerned aboutAs we enter the summer months, in fact, I'm not doing anything to prepare her for kindergarten — and I think that's perfectly fine.
Last year, I enrolled my then 4-year-old in a state-funded Pre-K program. She attended for three hours a day, five days a week. My entire purpose forwas for the social enrichment. I wanted her to learn how to follow directions, work cooperatively, and make friends. While she may have failed her reading and math assessments, she met all her social-emotional benchmarks.
For the next two months, there will be no academics in our household. No workbooks. No ABC Mouse. Instead, we'll be having family dance parties, taking swim lessons, and visiting our newly reopened library. If she wants to break out theinflatable kiddie pool every afternoon, so be it. Zoom tea party with her auntie? Done. She gets 18 summers to be a kid, and I'm going to do everything in my power to fill them with the fun and freedom that summer is all about.
