I think your instincts are right on. She's reading. Now, just let her investigate stuff she finds interesting. Entire curriculums are built around one subject area. I just loved home schooling. My son (soon to be 14) still talks about it. He remembers that period of time very fondly.
One of the things I love about my job. Even though many students are constantly "bored" and try to convince me to cancel class. Those "wow that's cool" moments happen often enough to keep me going strong.
Lol. It always disheartening when I walk into the classroom and one of the first things I hear is "Are we going to get out early today?" But then the conversation takes off and they seem pretty engaged. Well, maybe 75% of them, the rest are trying to hide the fact that they are sleeping.
Quote: I have a whole book of experiments and yesterday we learned about surface tension on water. We zoomed a little boat made out of card stock across a bowl of water, using a drop of dish soap. D6 loved it, of course. Don't all kids love science--seems like magic to them.
Ahh yes, long live the miniscus! And how cool is THAT when you drop little pieces of cork in near the edges of it, that they float UPHILL, toward the CENTER???
Choc., who's always been pretty easily amused . . .
" the rest are trying to hide the fact that they are sleeping."
I always shock my students on the first day of class when I tell them I don't care if they sleep in my class. I say I'd rather have them in class sleeping than at home sleeping, because in class they might wake up and learn something. Of course, far too many of them take me up on the offer.
"Recollect me darlin, raise me to your lips, two undernourished egos, four rotating hips"
