I found myself saying this very often our first couple of weeks at home.
So far, I've discovered that she was losing her ability to do simple calculations in her head because she was allowed to use her calculator for those at school.
She had forgotten how to write cursive because they didn't require it last year.
We had to switch grammar programs because she didn't know her nouns, verbs, subjects or predicates from monkeys and bananas.
I know she had used dictionaries since second grade, but she struggled to use ours at home.
Her school did a lot of things right, but we have seen some big gaps since she's been home. I hope we are closing those gaps.
