We have had a busy summer. 
I tried my best to provide plenty of opportunities for him to have fun this summer.  I wanted him to feel like he had down time and time to relax.  So we went to the beach several times, Sea World, China Town, LA Zoo, the movies (Brave and Chimpanzee), the skateboard park (many times in two different states), river rafting, took a road trip, lots of swimming,  several birthday/bbq parties, attended gymnastics practice (12 hours a week), went to the XGames in LA and watched the Skateboard Vert. Finals,  earned a Junior Black Belt in Taekwondo and watched lots of episodes of Jackie Chan Adventures and Kickin' It on Netflix.
 In the midst of all the fun, we still attended a summer dual immersion program for five weeks with six hours of instruction.  The instructor, Sra. Soto, did an outstanding job preparing the students for first grade while reviewing what they had learned in kindergarten.  She also emphasized writing and how to use time markers.
First grade starts next Wednesday, so more adventures will be written in the forthcoming weeks and months!
