Checklist of k and 1st grade per well trained mind style


Recommended Posts

Its been a while since I reviewed those ages, but K is basically math and phonics and science experiments from library books. Lots of reading, maybe handwriting (I can't remember if they suggest handwriting or not for K).

 

In first you keep phonics and math. Add the WTM science and history rotation, narrations, beginning dictation, pen pal letters, and lit narrations, music and art.

...

Start a 3ring binder for all the subjects. You'll put the kid's paraphrase of history and science and such in them. Find a wall to put a time line on.

 

The book says to make 54 equal parts on the timeline.... from -5000bc to 2000ad ...=7000 years.

 

that makes 129.5 years per part.

is this correct? so I make -5000 to -4870.5 bc ... all the way through... 1870-2000 ad
