Setting her own pace

Every morning I get an email from the math program we are using. It says how many problems she did the day before, how many she got right- I can look at the ones she got wrong to go over with her. Then it says how much of the grade she has completed. This is todays report:

"Sophie has now mastered 41 % of the 1st grade curriculum"

And this is only the 3rd week of 1st grade homeschool :) Thats the fantastic thing about homeschool- we dont need to sit and wait on the others in the room to understand. Sophie is setting her own pace. My husband said- what happens if she finishes it before Christmas?? My reply: then she moves on to second grade.

They give badges and there are 5 in each row. Sophie and I agreed that for each row of badges finished she'll get something special. 1 row means no nap for that day. 2 rows Sophie gets to pick out snack and dinner that day. 3 rows is a special spa day (nails painted, and our hair done, and mud masks. Yesterday she earned her rookie badge which means she earned her first row. She jumped up and down and laughed and celebrated and then sat back down and kept on going. She is truley having fun learning.
