Already thinking about Summer School

I find myself already thinking about what we'll do this summer.  Trying to keep up with my daughter's intellectual curiosity, I've looked into two online programs with free one to two month trials, perfect for the summer months.

For reading, we'll try:  http://www.texthelp.com/North-America/Our-products/Fluency-Tutor

For math, we'll try:  http://www.dreambox.com/why-dreambox

I figure it's a free trial, and who knows, we might like it!

If they turn out a flop, then we'll go back to time4learning and signing up for UCSD's Reading Institute summer program.  I like time4learning because it's only $20 a month and there's no contract.  I like UCSD's program because she excels in class and her reading learning-curve shoots up. 

OR we can do a gifted summer camp.  I'm considering Keystone Academy in Solana Beach http://keystone-school.com/?page_id=106 or Renaissance Village in Mira Mesa (they say Scripps Ranch but whatever), for their summer camps.  http://rva.us.com/Events-Open-Houses/index-rva-activities-events.html.

I'm stilling deciding if she should go to fourth grade next year or continue with her chronological age and go on to second grade.  We'll see how she does the rest of the year....
