May I borrow that

Since Faith has excelled at her first grade adding and subtracting, I introduced borrowing with her. She has picked it up; not surprisingly and is now doing it on her own. She can identify and explain the type of math equation needed to use borrowing. After borrowing we are going to start some words problems that she will have to read and figure out. Borrowing in math is skill not taught in first grade but she is not going to be a typical first grader. I have high hopes for her. She is ready to start school. Faith loves the challenge of school. This is the longest she has been away from it since she was two. We have always been in school throughout the summer. I stand firm on my decision to disenroll for the summer. It has brought us much needed family time to learn to play together and respect one another.
