I have leeway about when and how to teach topics. If I find the children are really interested in a topic, I spend more time on it. Current events are also included, such as elections, the Olympics, earthquakes, etc. One of our favorite sites to use is Brain Pop! I have a subscription but there are many free videos on it as well.
Despite having a well-written core, I find there are some holes for some students. When I was young, I never learned measurement very well. What topics do you think your child should have been learned by now but hasn't?

I have been impressed with the amount of material they are learning in class. I particularly think that the reading comprehension homework is very valuable. My daughter loves the science! I am disappointed by the amount of physical education. We used to do presidential fitness tests and run the mile every once in a while. (My worst nightmare as a child) I think one hour a week is too little for P.E.
