A lot of this list comes from the Iowa educational standards, although I added some things and took away others. I also used the lists of goals that accompany his Right Start Math and All About Spelling programs. I tried to find academic goals that were a natural progression from his current abilities. For better or worse, most of those came from the kindergarten level (which is why I labeled it both preschool and kindergarten goals). I'm not sure what that will mean when he is school age and has to go to school , but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I'll just work on keeping him stimulated and LOVING learning.
