hollyhock2 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I look forward to these planning threads every year so I'm starting this one. I hope others will follow suit and start all the other grade level threads. 😁 I find planning is a good cure for the Februaries anyway. If you have a rising 1st grader, what are you planning for next year? I'll come back and post mine later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyof1 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Currently changing things up for Kindergarten to finish out this year. I haven't really given it a lot of thought. Since we are changing her curriculum around I'm not sure where we will end up. Phonics Her reading to us and we do read alouds with her. Writing Spelling / Grammar Math History Science Arts & Crafts When I have decided on curriculum I will come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyroo Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) My third son will be in 1st next year. He will continue with Math Mammoth...probably level 2 by then. And we will add in Singapore Challenging Word Problems when the time seems right. He will firm up his advanced phonics with Wise Owl Polysyllables. He will also read from his literature list and orally narrate what he reads. He will listen to lots of audiobooks and read alouds. For handwriting he will continue with Universal Handwriting, plus copywork in various subjects. He will start AAS 1 and WWE 1, and we will dip our toe into grammar by discussing the copywork sentences. He has already listened to Grammarland, but he really liked it, so I expect he might ask to listen to it again. Next year all the kids will be studying anatomy, so I will read DK's First Encyclopedia Of The Human Body to DS and his younger sister. All the kids will also work through The Body Book just for fun (and the coloring and cutting is good fine motor practice). History next year will be SOTW 4, but I have no interest in trying to cover that with a 1st or Pre-Ker, so for them we will just be reading through Who Was biographies of famous Americans. I will probably print some coloring sheets for them to go along with them because that is what they see the older boys doing during history time. I may also have the younger two work through a map skills workbook just to make sure they are exposed to that. Next year I will be attempting our very first "All Kids Together" subject (with Pre-K, 1st, 3rd, 5th). We are going to be making some lap books as we learn about some countries around the world. He will continue in his weekly Spanish immersion class, and he will be ready to learn to read in Spanish. He will also continue his art, gym and swimming classes. Oh, and he has really been enjoying and learning a ton from Kids Cook Really Food, so he will continue that next year as well. At some point during the year, when he seems ready, I will start him on Typing.com, Code.org and Playground Sessions piano lessons.

sweet2ndchance Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Still doing a little bit of changing and feeling things out with my last little kindy this year so my plans for fall aren't set in stone yet. We will more than likely be in Logic of English Foundations C or D by fall. We are working through B right now but we school year round so it just depends on how quickly he progresses. We had to take a detour in January that I wasn't expecting when he started to struggle so we stopped and just reviewed. He loves copywork so he is doing more than is asked for in LOE. I usually just let him pick a sentence that he likes from whatever he has read or what we are reading aloud. I've thought about getting the MCT Mud Trilogy to just go through together, but I'm not sure if I want to start now or wait until LOE starts introducing more grammar. Just haven't really thought through what I really want to do here yet. Wendy just reminded me about Grammarland so now I have to decide if I want to do MCT or Grammarland..... Math.... I love math and so does ds. MEP is one of my favorite math curriculum of all time but it was just feeling like such a drag this last go-round with my youngest child. So we've hopped and jumped and tried a bunch of different things this year trying to find a combination that feels like a good fit for both of us. I want to give Beast Academy a go with him, it wasn't available when my older kiddos were little so we've never done it before. Right now, we are doing Miquon with Life of Fred Apples as a supplement which seems to be a good match for him right now so we might just continue that until I feel like he's ready to start Beast Academy. He he can skip count from here to tomorrow by almost any number. The common ones like 2, 5, and 10 he can do without help, the others he can do it but he needs a 100s chart to help him keep track but he does it without help from anyone else. He knows his single digit addition and subtraction facts and understands place value pretty well (even told me as he was playing a place value game a couple of weeks ago "I'm kind of a genius at this (place value)." lol) and is even starting to figure out multiplication on his own but every time I try to introduce multi-digit addition or subtraction I get the deer in the headlights look no matter how I try to introduce it. Could I start him on Beast Academy Level 2 if he has seen the idea of multi-digit addition and subtraction but doesn't seem to understand it yet? He just turned 6 last month so he will be 6 1/2 by fall so we will start Form 1B of Wildwood Curriculum but I will be modifying it as needed. He is already an awesome narrator, probably from hearing it from others since he was little, so we will probably swap out some of the stories for others. I love Charlotte Mason but I don't like the heavy emphasis on biology pretty much to the exclusion of all other science in the early years so we will supplement with lots of read alouds and experiments from other science subjects.Mystery Science and Aumsum science channel on Youtube will definitely be some places we will pull from. We will continue learning ASL which we have all been learning since he was a non-verbal toddler. (He has childhood apraxia of speech and while he has graduated from speech therapy for now after 4 years of weekly speech sessions, it is expected that he will probably need more speech therapy in the future.) Despite his shortcomings with speaking English, he has been learning French by his own choice. He is enamored with all things French for some crazy reason. We have been using Muzzy and Dino Lingo videos from the library this year. I recently bought the Cherrydale press book on French so we will start that soon too. So I think we will continue with both ASL and French for first grade. I'd like him to start piano lessons next year, most likely Hoffman Academy. He's just not ready right now and if he doesn't show signs of readiness for it next year, it will wait until he is ready. He really wants to learn to ride horses with the goal of getting his own horse one day so I'm hoping by fall we might have the arrangements in place for him to start learning how to ride but that is still way up in the air. Until the planets align, we might just have to wait on that. He gets plenty of time running around outside and got a huge outdoor trampoline for his birthday as a big gift from everybody so he gets plenty of exercise.

Coco_Clark Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 My 6th and last 1st grader (and therefor very spoiled and used to not having to do anything he doesn't feel like) will have my lightest 1st grade schedule ever. Language Arts will be: English Lessons Through Literature 1 (listening to the reader via audio book, short grammar lesson, and copywork) 4x wk Reading 10 minutes a day from leveled readers like Frog and Toad, hopefully building up past Mercy Watson and into Magic Tree House by we will see Math will be: Alternating Beast Academy 2 and Miquon Blue and whatever color comes after that And he'll have to sit in with the older kids' Morning Reading, which is bible, saint of the day, poetry, memory work, and alternating SOTW 2 and Science in the Ancient World by month. He'll have to draw/color narration pages for history and science, and narrate orally what he drew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 reposting the twins 1st grade plan for this year they will be 8 in just over a month - starting grade 1 - significant struggles - most probably FASD . the list looks huge but they progress so slowly that we have to go sideways instead of forwards to over teach otherwise they don't retain things. Reading AAR2, Fitzroy readers, Bob Books, those print out TGATB readers Reading eggs and starfall on ipad Literature Narration Spelling Very very slowly AAS1 - this will be interesting as twin 2 cannot remember his alphabet - he can read but the concept that a letter symbol means an individual sound is too abstract for him. Grammar FLL 2 plus worksheets from a variety of sources including Kumon sentences, TGATB random worksheets, Abeka English workbook Writing Penmanship, Copywork, WWE1, Writeshop Math Saxon 1 second half numbers worksheets for reinforcement Kummon number books skip counting by 3s, 11s &15s... they have worked on 2s,5s, and 10s all this year History SOTW 3 Geography Kumon world geography - one page a week. plus they have world maps desk protectors that we look at every day Science Animal kingdoms ( simple ) classification then human body Art and Music Enrichment Studies music Study masterpieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medawyn Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hmmm... I guess it is time to be thinking about next year. Math: continue with RightStart, probably C but we'll see how this year finishes out, and adding in some word problems with Singapore's CWP. He spotted Beast Academy at homeschool meet up, so I'm also looking at BA2, probably as a supplement. Language Arts: copywork and narration, possibly AAS1 depending on his writing stamina, continue encouraging independent reading Science: We've been using BFSU the past month, so we'll continue with that if it keeps working. Otherwise interest driven books from the library and nature walks. Social Studies: We're traveling around the world right now, loosely using Barefoot Books Around the World with Picture Books. We'll just keep up our tour, spending 4-6 weeks on each country.

AmbitiouslyCrafty Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Son #3 will be in first grade next year and he has such a different learning style compared to his older brothers. The first half of his K year was spent trying to figure out how in the world to connect with/teach him. He's very high energy and needs short, focused lessons that are interactive and (despite his general love for writing and drawing on his own) don't require a lot of workbooks/writing on his part. He's very smart but super stubborn and can get overwhelmed easily. School goes much smoother if I can just fit it in to regular discussion/play or frame it as games or activities within things that he likes/hold his interest. Right now we're just playing out the rest of K by working through 100 EZ lessons for reading and Life of Fred: Apples. My current plan for 1st looks something like: Math: Math U See: Alpha (and maybe/probably Beta because I suspect that - as long as I can get him to focus - we'll go through Alpha fast) Reading: Continue on with 100EZ lessons and utilize all the various phonics readers that are lying around. My main goal for first grade is to get him reading fluently. Handwriting: I'll probably just pick up something like The Complete Book of Handwriting or do my own thing. Stuff that's very low stress and that he can do as something "fun" and doesn't necessarily register in his mind as "school". Writing: Work on basic narration skills. Nothing formal. Grammar: I might start FLL1 during the second half of the year but I'll probably put off formal grammar until 2nd grade. That approach has worked well for his older brothers. Science: Mr. Q Earth Science History/Geography: We'll be doing a one year study of US History and Geography as a family. Other: field trips and art lessons with our homeschool group, plus read alouds and a basic study of art and music as a family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'm not really even close to thinking about next year yet! We should be doing Ancients next year, so my first and third graders can listen to and do projects from SOTW1. If our homeschool group does a co-op, I'll probably offer to teach Ancients at co-op; otherwise, I can certainly handle it on my own. I'm pretty laid back for young ones. My state doesn't require anything from them. My littles typically do reading (maybe OPGTTR, maybe 100 EZ Lessons, maybe not) and maybe some handwriting and gentle math and listen along with readalouds. They're easy. (And I'll have grades 12, 9, 5, 3, and 1, plus an infant/toddler, so easy is good.) He likes doing nature study with the big boys. Maybe rocks for next year.

Syllieann Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Next year my youngest will be in first grade. My tentative plan: Math mammoth 2, Continue BFSU 1, IEW Bible Heroes, Continue AAR-finish 3 and start 4, continue Sound Beginning spelling, possibly something light for grammar depending on how his writing is by the end of this year, probably start Hoffman Academy if everything else is going well Joining siblings for the same things as this year: Story of Civilization 2, CCMemory Beta, MP Art Cards, Home Art Studio 3, Virtues in Practice (year of hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ailysh Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My younger daughter will be 1st next year. Here are our tentative plans: Math: MM1 LA: TGATB 1 (we just started TGATB K after completing First Start Reading, which we had been working on for about 1.5 years. I expect she'll move through it pretty quickly as review for reading and introducing new grammar concepts before hitting Level 1 in the fall) Science: TGATB Water and our World, Marine Biology, and Kingdoms and Classification (3 units) along with her 4th grade sis. Handwriting: HWOT 1 History SOTW 4 with big sis Music: piano lessons Co-op: Once weekly Charlotte Mason drop-off program where they do composer and artist study, dance, handicrafts, etc. I love these threads!

Memoria Press First Grade Enrichment and additional science, history and geography books, but nothing formal. Song School Latin 1 (I am not sold that first graders must have latin. I have started with my older son 2nd/3rd grade doing song school latin and will continue to let my first grader work through with us. Heck, the 3 year old is also learning latin!) My kids love it! He will be tagging along sporadically with my 3rd grader for some subjects, but he is not required to. It's great I have been there and done that, I feel so much more confident going into first grade. It seems so easy and doable for us. I was so stressed out when my oldest was in first grade. sigh.

If you drew 15 dots and 12 dots, could he put them together? Yes, but he would count the dots one at a time rather than make groups of ten. He has seen the idea presented in many ways and he can do it if he is walked through it but the next time we try a multi digit problem, we end up starting all over again walking him through it. His brain just isn't ready to fully absorb and apply the concepts which I'm not worried about, he will get it when he is ready to get it and then he will take off with it. He only just turned 6 so I'm in no hurry for him to get it. I really just want to know if the Beast Academy 2 expects the child to know how to add and subtract multi-digit math problems. I know on the level 2 placement test, there are multi-digit problems for the child to solve but I have also heard the placement tests are harder than the content in the books so I was just wondering if anyone who has been through BA2 with a child in K or 1st could give a heads up on whether a child should be able to add and subtract multi digit problems before starting.

beka87 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 My third girl will be in first grade come fall. I am combining her with my very young soon-to-be-third-grade girl for all content areas, plus some things that are family activities. We use CM methods and I build all of my own lists. Here's her plan so far: Math - RightStart Phonics - First Start Reading, AlphaPhonics, Classical Phonics, and BOB Books, then..... ? Possibly some Explode the Code books. She really likes little workbooks. History - A Picturesque Tale of Progress, books 1 and 2; just listening, no oral narration Science - just lots of Nature Study and some really good picture books as often as we can, especially through the winter; maybe Blood and Guts with older sister; she'll narrate her nature journal entries/dictate what she wants written Geography - Home Geography lessons and Paddle to the Sea, both with oral narrations; listening in on Haliburton's Book of Marvels with her 6th grade sister Literature - Fifty Famous Stories, Aesop's Fables, The King of the Golden River, The Matchlock Gun, all with oral narrations; listening in on Kim with biggest sister Mythology - The Age of Fable with Tanglewood Tales, oral narrations Shakespeare - either here at home or at co-op, not sure yet; we do this all together and really love it Plutarch - just listening in Nature Lore - The Burgess Bird Book, read to them by their older sister, with oral narration; James Herriot's Treasury for Children, oral narrations Plus Picture Study, Composer, Folk Songs/Hymns, Poetry, and Art, all together. I haven't figured out music yet. That's it so far. I'm enjoying reading what everyone else is sharing. I hope we all have productive planning summers!

Mommyof1 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Lord willing we will be doing the following. Phonics/reading/spelling- Explode the code online, Noah Webster Reading and Spelling and all the library books she can read. Read Alouds- from the library, TBD. Math- Beast Academy 2A if it goes well we will continue with (B-D). She will be doing this with Daddy. Writing- will continue with cursive but change to Logic of English cursive program instead of Abeka. Science- lot of science kits from Young Scientists website. Read books, watch videos and fields trips to explore. History & Geography- 50 states plus capitals, map reading, the presidents and learning more about our city, state and our country. Maybe SOTW or Mystery of History.? Bible- Daily Devotional, Bible stories, memory verses, What's in the Bible with Buck Denver DVDs and other moral centered DVDs and storybooks. PE- bike riding, play at the park, roller skating, swimming and other outside play (when weather permits). Recreational Center activities, indoor pool and an indoor activities place. (For times when it's too cold or stormy). Homeschool Co-Op I would like get her into music lessons and art lessons. Daddy has gotten her intro to drawing books and is helping where he can there but I think she would enjoy more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddy has gotten her intro to drawing books and is helping where he can there but I think she would enjoy more. In first grade, we really enjoyed Kids' Art Works by Sandi Henry. It allows kids to work in a variety of mediums, with materials most homeschoolers have around the house. The results are worthy of social media, but still look like they are done by kids. (I know it's all about the process, but there is a certain satisfaction in having a project come out nicely, too.) The past few years, we have been using arttango.com for art, which is free. The materials required are not too exotic. The projects are pretty typical of what I would expect to see in a public school. The K level is not a good fit for my K'er, but he is not artistically inclined at all. Since your child seems to have some inclination that way, it would be worth looking at.

JennVW Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Currently lined up: Phonics Pathways and BOB books First Language Lessons 1 Writing With Ease 1 (I don't think she'll be ready for this for a while, but I have it on stand by) Story of the World 1 and Activity book Horizons Penmanship 1 along with Copy work Singapore Math 1 Song School Latin Book 1 Plus nature studies and notebooking incorporating art (she loves watercoloring). Here's my conundrum. I find myself really drawn to Ambleside online. I also know myself well enough that I like and need things planned out for me, such as FLL and WWE. And AO doesn't cover grammar explicitly anyway, so I think they are very compatible. But I also don't want to overload my daughter (or myself). And then I feel SOTW would just end up getting dropped, but I do love it, as well. Can I get input on blending AO with the more structured approach of WTM materials? I don't want to just ignore the recommended reading and resources of WTM to do AO. I'm sure it's much simpler than I'm making it- but I'm spazzing out a little bit right now. HA!

A vintage art textbook series from the early 1900s. Froehlich is the author, the series is called Textbooks for Art Education and this is Year 1. He's a solid reader already and we have reading and math embedded within his daily routine so I don't think that there will be a need to include them as a formal subject once he starts 1st. If getting them in becomes a problem once the new routine starts, then I will do something different for the second term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
