LynnG in Arizona Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My plans are finally coming together. I will have a young 1st grader (turning 6 in late October). This time last year I wasn't sure whether to start her in K or not, but she has thrived this year and is obviously appropriately stimulated without being overwhelmed. So we're going on to first grade . . . Bible: Children's Illustrated Bible by DK Math: Probably Right Start B with some supplementation by Math Mammoth Phonics: McRuffy 1st grade (but I will skip the heavy spelling emphasis) Phonics readers: McRuffy has their own readers, plus I purchased most of the emerging readers from Sonlight and HoD; I expect she'll be at that level towards the end of the year Handwriting: Zaner Bloser 1st Spelling: Complete AAS Level 1 (we're 1/3rd through now) and begin AAS Level 2 English: WWE1 and FLL1 Read Alouds: I just bought way too many books at Amazon, combining various Sonlight and Memoria Press literature selections History: Some basic American history using various resources such as History for Little Pilgrims, plus a few simple read alouds on famous Americans Science: probably Nancy Larsen Science K. I'll do a grade level down so little brother can tag along; we'll keep this one simple Art: the Core Knowledge materials Music: the Core Knowledge materials Geography: Beginning Geograpy K-2 by Evan Moor Poetry: exposure - we have multiple children's poetry books to choose from This sounds like a ton, by my plan is to do both history and science just two days a week. Then the enrichment subjects (art, music, geography, and poetry) will be done just once a week each, just trying to provide a little exposure.

Guest RecumbentHeart Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 SWR??? Is that Sing, Write, Read?? I am considering that for ds also. If its something else then consider me :blush: :001_smile: It's usually the acronym for Spell to Write and Read. There are so many things out there that it's getting tricky to keep the acronyms straight so whichever of us is wrong, lets not feel bad. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RecumbentHeart Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My first grade plans for DS are (starting in the winter, not the fall): Professor B Math (continuing), perhaps Math Mammoth supplements (since I have it, it's always a possibility) Hooked On Phonics and Webster's Speller (continuing) First Language Lessons 1/2 (continuing) Living Books Curriculum Year 1 for everything else.

Emagine Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 We are about to kick off ours this summer, most of it I have narrowed down. Math- Math Mammoth 1A/B Though I have a feeling I will have to weed eat some that bores him. We are about to wrap up Lifepac and he is already bored silly and past simple addition. Science- REAL Science Earth and Space, adding in Magic School Bus, Lets Read and Find Out Science and Discovery Education Streaming (all with brother) History- SOTW 1 (with brother) Geo- Expedition Earth (with brother) Spelling - I keep dancing around on this one. I look at AAS but not really sold on it yet. He is pretty good with spelling already and loves workbooks. Ideas? LA and Grammar - ETC (he likes these) and I prob add in CLE LightUnit 1 Reading - books of choice, he reads really well Handwriting - leaning towards the 'A Reason for Series' & tossing in Draw Write now as a bonus. Music - We just bought a Piano so now I have to get myself in gear to learn it. Lots of fieldtrips and tossed in events as it helps keep us motivated.

MeganW Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Am I missing anything? It won't be detrimental if we wait a year for history and science, will it? Does your state require certain subjects? I have to document that we studied some history & science, along with reading, writing, & math. ETA - just rechecked our standards - it says "social studies", not history Edited May 26, 2011 by MeganW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
