Hi! I am so glad I found this forum! My son is in first grade this year, and I am trying to figure out this classical approach to homeschooling. Because I also have an infant and a toddler, I decided to pick a curriculum that my son enjoyed last year. He liked Rod and Staff for K, and I had been told 1st was a lot of work and the lessons often had to be broken up over a couple days. They said not to bother adding history or science or literature or anything because it was already so much work. Well, my son finishes by 10:30am every day. We start at 8. We started August 1st, and this quickly became the norm. I tried doubling up some lessons, but I think I just lost his attention. So I believe I need to delve deeper into the classical approach, but I really don't know where to start. This is my only school aged child, so I am at a loss. I look online and I cannot figure out which books to choose or what to do with them. Could someone point in the right direction? Or tell me what they like for 1st grade?
