As homeschooling is still a fairly new thing for us, I have a hard time knowing if I am on track with my daughter's education or if I have unknowingly delayed her. We have been doing Ordinary Parent's Guide to Reading and are a little past half way finished with the book. We journal every day and her writing is great, but spelling definitely needs some work. We are working through SOTW for history, and we do a fun science program called mystery science twice a week. We also work on memorization with poetry and use math mammoth. Somedays - school takes us several hours and it is a challenge for both of us because she drags her feet on getting the simplest tasks done.
Are there any other experienced 1st grade parent's that can comment on benchmarks and expectations?
Thank you!
