Rosie_0801 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Not even close to grade one yet, but my plans at present are: Phonics/Grammar - OPGTTR and FLL Reading (a program or literature?) - Bob books, perhaps Brian P. Cleary's beginners readers and whatever is in the library; plus the recommended reading from WTM, science and history. Health- Real life stuff Science- BFSU and whatever supplements I turn up History- SOTW and Activity guide, plus we're in the SCA and Daddy has a Roman persona Maths- Math on the Level, supplemented with MEP :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Phonics/Grammar - Spell to Write & Read for phonics. I don't start grammar until 3rd. Reading (a program or literature?) - She's currently working through (2nd time around to increase fluency) a 40-book series called "SUPER" that we ended up with from my SIL who is a teacher. She's still "learning to read." Figure we'll just work through some Dr. Suess after that. Health - No curriculum. Science - God's Design for Chemistry although it is WAAAAY above what she can understand. She's doing as well as my oldest who is also lost. ;-) They love the experiments, though. History - SOTW 2 with AG & lots of supplemental read alouds Math - A Beka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieZ Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Please tell me what your 1st grader uses for: Phonics/Grammar Reading (a program or literature?) Health Science History Math Phonics: finished Explode the Code through Book 6, then retired phonics. (Used 100EZL and Pathway Readers until she'd finished them, but that was last year. . . thought I'd mention it since they are more typical for 1st grade level.) Grammar: none yet. I'll start her in 3rd grade. Reading: Sonlight 2-Intermediate readers Health: mmm, I make sure she washes and brushes her teeth. ;) Science: Mostly neglecting that in any formal way. We do read the Let's Read and Find Out books (level 2) regularly. Love those. I also plan to pull out some Science in a Nutshell kits anydaynow. I also want to do Nebel's Building Understanding blahblahblah but haven't gotten it in gear. Would do More Mudpies and Magnets if only I could find it in my book boxes. History: SonLight Core 1 Math: Miquon, Singapore, and drill materials using Wrap-Its, triangle flashcards, and Peggy Kaye's Games for Math book. HTH.
