Marie131 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I am not completely sure what we are going to use for our K'er next year. So far we have: RightStart A AAR Level 1 I may or may not combine him with his older brother (we plan to use LBC), not sure what our plans are yet and I'm looking for ideas :) What do you plan to use?

FairProspects Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My younger will be doing K5 next year and is an older K'er (6 most of the year, but K by cutoff). We have planned: Math: Miquon, Singapore 1A, 1B, 2A? (he is working on 1A right now) Phonics: First Start Reading Writing: HWOT K, copywork Grammar: Probably start FLL 1 (he is good with language) Spelling: Start AAS 1 when ready for writing History: Tag along on SOTW 2 Science: Tag along on Intellego Astronomy & Earth Science Units, Engineering is Elementary Aerospace Unit Art: Primary Art by Maryann Kohl, maybe start violin lessons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsbaby Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I had considered MFW K, but it seems to get a lot of bad reviews. I may try FIAR since I already have it. We are already working through OPGTR. I am thinking Horizons K for math, switching to CLE in first. We will also use HWOT. For science and history, the majority will be listening in with the older two, as well as what I decide to pull from FIAR. We all use Artistic Pursuits for art and the kids seem to really like it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mjeka Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well not HOD, ha! Sorry, I just listed it for sale after being so anxious to buy it a couple of months ago. I think for this particular daughter I am going to go more of the traditional route for now. It just suites her personality. My older children were so different! I'm still looking though, so I am also curious as to what others are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorrelZG Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Since I have it, I'll be sticking with LBC Foundation Yr for my upcoming Ker while continuing with Phonics Pathways and Language Lessons for Little Ones. Math .. I don't know. Whatever I piece together from my myriad resources. It will be mostly living math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMoon Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My older kids used Phonics Pathways, BOB Books, Leapfrog videos, a writing tablet, counters of some sort, and a library card. If they were clamoring for their very own schoolbook, I bought them the jumbo workbook from Costco. (That doesn't count kid #4, who did all that over her big brother's shoulder when it was his turn for K.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 DD5 will "officially" start kindergarten in the fall, but we'll be slowly working all summer. Reading: OPGTTR and Explode the Code books A, B, and C. We are currently on Book C, but I want to start OPGTTR along with it. Math: unsure yet...thinking of Singapore or Horizons Grammar: FLL 2. She tagged along with us for FLL1 and we are currently about 1/4 of the way through the 2nd book. She didn't do much tagging though....she stayed right up with big sister on it. Science: Tagging along with big sis....we're starting 106 Days of Creation this summer. Bible: Positive Action 1st grade, along with A Child's Book of Character Building (we've already begun both of this and will just keep going with them) History: Tagging along with big sis....maybe SOTW, but unsure yet. Art: Again, tagging along with whatever I decide for big sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyseal Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 For math, we're using Rightstart A, MEP-R, and Miquon (trying to find a good balance -- my K'er is young, but nearly finished with Reception; I don't want to rush her into MEP 1, though, and we only just started RS-A). For language arts, we're using Click 'N Read Phonics, OPGTR, and I'll ease her into Logic of English as she is ready (for now we're just playing phonogram games). Everything else is just as we feel like it. We'll probably do some light science using Usborne First Encyclopedia of Science, and social studies/geography readings from the Core Knowledge - Kindergarten book.

Clear Creek Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Same thing I used with my older two: 100EZ Lessons Yup, that's all of it. My goal for K is to get the child reading well enough to have an easy start with R&S Phonics and Reading. Other than that, subjects are learned through play (or workbooks such as ETC upon request). The only thing my K child ever *must* do is a couple of reading lessons per week. Other than that, I believe in lots of books, time spent outdoors, and imaginative play.

She'll be 5 in late July :) My goal is to have her reading and enjoying reading. Everything else is gravy. She seems quite savvy with some of her addition facts already. In fact, in that, she's ahead of ds when he was that age. She likes writing too, which is a big plus.

We also do yoga together as a family. History/Geography: -I don't usually have much goals set for this age in this area. I like for Kinders to learn the states (Scrambled States book and maps/puzzles usually accomplish that), but he has been participating with my older ds in SOTW activities and he likes the AG coloring pages.

Dustybug Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 We use HOD's LHFHG for my K'er. We are using all of the recommended resources (Singapore ,etc) but for phonics, I'm using Abeka's A Handbook for Reading and ETC. I'm also adding in the spelling and the emerging readers from BLHFHG. I'm using Abeka's Writing with Phonics K5 for handwriting, but she's almost finished with that book and we'll be moving on to A Reason for Handwriting A. She also just finished the 1st grade level Thinking Skills book, so I've purchased the 2nd grade level in the same series for her to work in.

RoundAbout Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) My son is an official Kindergartener in the fall. We are already doing OPGTR and will probably finish by September. We just started RS B and not sure when we will finish -probably next February at the rate we go. I might emphasize writing more but he's fairly self-motivated in that. My only goal is to have him reading very well by the end of K. He seems well on his way so I would rather spend time on some fun outside activities and social development instead of more academic subjects.

Phonics--Phonics Pathways, Reading Pathways, ETC, Happy Phonics Handwriting--homemade copywork with StartWrite Math--finishing up Singapore EM and then we'll probably move on to MM1, History--Adventures in America (Elemental History) Science--nature study and interest-led units with notebooking. Art--Drawing with Children alternating with either Artistic Pursuits or Meet the Masters (haven't decided yet).

I ordered most all of K from Memoria, except I am going to sub out math and use Saxon. I also did not purchase all of the different readers. I also bought all of the books for SL Core A that I did not have. I am going to make my own schedule with these.
