Prepping for Kindergarten

I received the current IEP goals for Chase.  It is nice to see where he started from two years ago, and see where his is now!  It is amazing how much he has grown - physically, emotionally, and educationally!  Summer begins in the middle of May this year and I am already working on my curriculum for all three kids.  It is nice to have his new goals, which are geared toward preparing him for Kindergarten.  I know that I can use his previous goals and new goals to also prepare a curriculum for Honey-bear as well.  Good stuff!!
