kristi26 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Is there one yet? I did a search and couldn't find one, but wanted to share my current ideas! What do you all think of this for my youngest?  History/Geography: Ambleside year 1 with oral narrations here and there, maps to go with Paddle to the Sea  Math: Math-U-See Alpha with online games for practice like those from Shepperd Software, Math Playground, and Turtle Diary  Reading/literature: Books from the library plus the Ambleside year 1 list  Phonics: Explode the Code, starting with book 3  Spelling: McGuffey Spelling (free public domain book) possibly  Handwriting: I'm thinking of going with "A Reason for Handwriting A" not positive though  Science: some nature study, also Apologia Zoology 3 with his sister  Art: I have these fun books that I got when they were free for Kindle called "24 ______'s Paintings for Kids" and plan to use those for study and inspiration.  Music: He's on our Kid's Worship team at church.  Too much? Not enough? Any better ideas for anything that will be free or low cost? Thanks! :)  What are you all planning in first grade?  Maybe you'll give me some other ideas too! :D   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We used McGuffey speller in second grade. It's fine to use and advanced, but it will be on you to decide how to teach it and what activities, etc. I bought a spelling book for this year to make it easier. However the word list is not as challenging. My son is a natural speller, so I did a spelling bee at the beginning of the week. The words he missed became his list. However, it sometimes took a while, but I would skip some that were completely outdated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carina Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I realize this is subject to change, I just need to get it out of my head or I'll explode, haha. Â -TOG year one -Logic Of English Foundations for Language Arts -Singapore Math U.S. Ed 1A & B supplemented with some Life of Fred here and there. -Science will be books from the library on whatever it is we are interested at the moment. -Italian might be Rosetta Stone or Professor Toto -Bible, I'm not sure, but I'm thinking the Answers Bible curriculum.

happypamama Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015   Art: I have these fun books that I got when they were free for Kindle called "24 ______'s Paintings for Kids" and plan to use those for study and inspiration.  Thank you for posting this!  Art study is my 6yo's favorite subject, so I'm always up for new ideas.  Rising first grader will be doing:  History/Geography -- I will read SOTW1 aloud, and we will do some of the projects.  May also get a few picture books to go with it, and we'll read some of the novels aloud too.  I don't know that I'll have the first grader do the mapwork; it'll depend on his interest level and all.  He'll also at least listen to Paddle-to-the-Sea and other Holling books that we use for family geography study.  Reading/literature -- readalouds, library books of his choice, various phonics and early readers, whatever he wants.  Handwriting -- probably just worksheets or DIY handwriting sheets.  Math -- MEP 1-2, games, manipulatives.  Science -- The older two children will be doing physical science, so the small boys can come along for the projects/experiments, and I will try to find some corresponding picture books and videos too.  Art -- tag along with ARTistic Pursuits if he wants, free art, picture study alongside the older two, seasonal crafting.  Music -- composer study alongside the older two, listening to music of various types, learning to play guitar (which is the cutest thing ever, watching him play and learn and teach his little brother) and maybe piano too.  Continue to listen to the Mr. Pipes books as I read them aloud.  PE -- continue martial arts classes (maybe he'll finally get his green belt soon!), swimming this summer, biking, hiking, running around the yard.  Bible -- Susan Hunt and Richie Hunt books, reading from Bible story books and Arch paperbacks, memory verse work.

calihil Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 We'll be doing Ambleside Online Year 1 next year so all the stuff that goes with that.... Geography, history, art study, composer study, science, copywork, hymn study, etc. Math will be CLE 1 and maybe supp. with LOF Apples. Reading will be Explode the Code (we're on book 4 now, so whatever we get to then) and her readers from R&S that we love. I plan on using Home Art Studio for art and hopefully she'll start piano lessons. I *might* use Nancy Larson Grade 1 science, haven't decided yet, sounds like something my dd would like. For Bible we'll be doing Leading Little Ones to God, verse memory, catechism, possibly Awana, and Bible stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF612 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 For 1st we are planning to do: Â Reading: AAR (which was amazing for my oldest son) Spelling: AAS Math: Right Start B History/Geography: Road Trip USA (with his brother) Science: Not sure yet possibly Mr Q Life Science and/or Home Science Adventures by Stratton House Writing: I'm leaning towards the Aesop' s Fables books by RFP. I only consider this because my older son is doing CAP Writing and Rhetoric Fable. Little brother likes to be like big brother. :) Â Extras: hopefully Spanish of some kind, soccer, swim team, and a co-op. Possibly a PE class if they have it again.

reign Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 This will be my third year in a row with a first grader. They have all used the same curriculums but all on different levels. Youngest is still learning to read. We are working through OPGTR. Hopefully she will be done with the book by fall. After that she will read aloud to me daily. I'm really excited to find out what she likes. Oldest was a Cam Jenson and Rainbow Magic Fairy kid. Middle girl was a Magic Treehouse junkie. She read each one in order and was obsessed for quite awhile. Besides that we have...  AAS WWE and FLL Copy work in cursive and manuscript  Math Mammoth Dreambox  Song School Latin 2  SOTW  Home made science. Includes BFSU  Memory Work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernal Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have a first grader! She's basically doing the same work as DS6 now, but she's very wiggly.  OPGTR - finish up this FLL AAS  CLE Math and MEP - finish this up. For next year I am either going to add Miquon for her or switch her to Singapore. She's great at math and rolls her eyes at me when we do CLE. But i want her to have a good solid foundation. I'd rather go wide with her rather push ahead in one curriculum.  SOTW 2 + activities and read a louds  HWOT cursive  Science - ? We have just been reading books. I thinking of getting BFSU to go along.  MP recitation and enrichment.   Read lots of great books.  Others: Dance Children's church activities May start piano lessons.  Did I leave anything out?

carriede Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 DD will be 6 in June.

We are doing it next year, so I haven't started using it yet. Like I said, we are going to do Old Testament passages next year to correlate with studying the ancients in SOTW. We are reading a passage a day, they are narrating what they remember back to me, and then illustrating or doing a coloring page. That's pretty much what we have been doing this year, except we have been doing it weekly (or biweekly) and they have been getting bored with the same story all week. What have you been doing?

TyraTooters Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Still up in the air but this is the tentative list  Math - Abeka. I wanted to switch to Horizons or CLE but we used it for kinder and he and his brother refuse to change. It works and they are doing great with it so I'm not going to mess with it!  Language Arts - AAR 1, FLL 1, ETC, read alongs with big brother and possibly some lap booking read alouds from the COH blog.  Handwriting - Torn between HWOT and A Reason for Handwriting  Bible - Possibly BSGFAA  History/geography - SOTW and the AG, volume 1. Will be done with big brother (3rd) and we will  Science - Thinking we might just go with some Magic School Bus and activities. Or Answers in Genesis. Still researching.  I think that's it. And then just whatever co-op classes we sign up for on Thursdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebsmommy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm just starting but here's what I think I'm going with so far:  Math: MEP Year 1 & 2 (to cement knowledge because he's beginning 3rd grade level), moving on to Year 3 after that, also doing Khan Academy K-2 (he's already 20% on his own), then moving to Grade 3 math, along with CK-12. He also has a few random apps (like DragonBox) that teach him basic algebra/geometry concepts while he thinks it's all a game.  LA: For reading, I'm going with some from the Ambleside list, some from the WTM book, and library books we pick out together; otherwise, eclectic reader (he's 3rd grade level so will be doing 3rd once I make sure he can breeze through 1st (so far he does) and 2nd (up next).)  HW: Using Writing With Ease from library, but he writes pretty well, so I may just end up having him copy things from books we're reading instead.  Science: Study animals, human body, then plants - using books from library (ex: Smithsonian Animal Book) & DK dictionaries. Observations outside weather permitting.  History/Geography: SOTW1, along with a World History atlas (Kingfisher) from 10,000 BCE to present, books from library coordinating those dates, along with pictures of maps to color/label along with using a globe to show general areas.  Music/Art: composer/artist study from Ambleside weekly. PE: looking into stuff to do  And finally, we were already doing about 10 minutes of French and 10 minutes of ASL each day. He already knew a little ASL from public K as well. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonhawk Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So I have a 1st grader (daughter), and preschooler (son) who is at her level in everything except for writing.  I don't know how I'll handle Language Arts with him yet but otherwise these plans are for both of them.  Music: piano, instrument introductions with eyewitness book (should last ~3 months, then will need a new book) Math: MUS Beta Art: Drawing with Children LA: WWE, FLL, Sequential Spelling (haven't fully committed to spelling) Handwriting: NAC 2 for her, prewriting and maybe manuscript intro for him later in the year History: SOTW 1 Science: unit studies based on eyewitness books Religious: CCD program, Mass 3-4x a week, prayer breakdowns  In general I am trying to move to more open-go things because I am not living up to my ideals in terms of creating from scratch or with a spine.  Science will probably need to be revised to something more structured but I just haven't researched enough to choose something yet.  Looks like there are some good options above me, though!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lovelife Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm feeling a bit nervous about 1st grade, and purchased the Wayfarers Curriculum, which looks fabulous, but incredibly heavy so I'm going to have to cut some of the reading. But here's what I have so far:  Language Arts: ELTL, phonics review where needed.  Math: Right Start B  Science: Mainly nature study complimented with Botany in 8 Lessons. Wild foraging classes for our area. Some zoology but I haven't determined what yet.  History: SOTW 1 plus some core reading from Wayfarers' recommendations.  Geography: Not sure if I'll be following Wayfarers or doing my own thing yet.  Art & Music: Wayfarers picture study & composer study, piano lessons, free art, crafts to go with lessons and seasons.  I'd like to do a morning time where we read our poetry from ELTL, do our memory verses, bible reading, etc.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Bible verses and poetry, this is the list of "lists" I've made up so far: Books of the Bible Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt Major Dates in Ancient History (say, 20ish) Major Countries and Capitals (say, 20 again) Welsh Soft Mutations Welsh Verb Conjugations (Regular plus some irregular) French Verb Conjucations (same)  I need to do something English related - pronouns, verbs, something - what is everyone else doing?

Â Â FLL covers some memorization as well as grammar like pronouns, verbs, etc. Plenty for Grade 1, after first grade I'd add in some more supplemental stuff. We like CLE LA.
