Mathematics
Emily is demanding more math at home. I'd like to have a workbook or something, so I don't repeat and I actually make progress.
Her math (mathy) topics for kindergarten are graphs, measuring, making hypotheses, more than, less than and equal, counting to 31 and coins up to 19 cents. Also odd and even, positional words like over, under, left, right, in front and behind(?). And patterns and shapes.
So I probably want to avoid those topics, since they will be coming home in the homework.
The curriculum guide has a few web sites for resources. The most promising so far is www.mathforum.org. (ETA: No, it's best for teachers who have a registration that lets them browse the whole site. For parents, I'm still trying to figure out the best.)
