Thanks for the reminder about the teacher's guide. I bought First Grade student and teacher set, then a friend gave me the Kick Start Kindergarten student workbook. I will track down the teacher's edition.

Hi! New here. Starting first grade in earnest next week. Long, boring story. She just turned seven. Phonics: All About Reading 3. She placed into AAR 4, but I have too much gifted kid baggage about placement exams to push her to the edge of ability when review could only help. Math: Singapore Math Dimensions. Her teachers told me she was ready for second grade math, but there are some gaps and she despises math so we started at the beginning a few months ago in hope of making it a delightful subject. A few small signs point to yes. Some times I worry I am boring her with all of this review. Spelling: All About Spelling 1. She keeps volunteering for additional math lessons rather than start start this, which is an odd sort of victory. History: Just ordered Story of the World 1. So excited. Science: Dithering between Scientific Connections through Inquiry and adding the BFSU book suggestions, or Real Science Odyssey. Handwriting: Currently using The Good and the Beautiful's doodle series. I would purchase Handwriting without Meltdowns if it existed. Daily fine motor practice in the meantime. I hope we can use HWT some day, but no rush. Literature: Trying every chapter book in creation and reading aloud from James Herriot's Treasury for Children for now. Foreign language: TBD. Is anyone using an art curriculum?
