2_girls_mommy Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondchen Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I can't say for first grade, but I talked with SWB personally at a homeschool conference a couple of years ago, and for K she told me to just do reading (phonics), handwriting and math...and lots of read-alouds. So, that's all we do and it's been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
