Jumping In Puddles Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I know there were some threads on here but I can't find them with "search" :confused: I would LOVE to know what you are all planning for you first graders! Or, what you did in the past with your first graders that you really want to share with us. :) Include extra curriculars too like piano or sports. I plan on: Abecedarian WWE HWT maybe cursive RSB Outdoor survival with dh... more for fun but dh/ds's idea. BFSU Maybe french... maybe too much? SOTW + activity guide. piano boy scouts wrestling? maybe. Edited March 10, 2009 by Jumping In Puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I have a first grader this year. He is doing: phonics - OPG with happy phonics and ETC. I choose books for him to read from various lists. WWE level 1 handwriting - RFH, sometimes copywork of my choosing math - Math u see alpha and MOTL history - SOTW with activity guide (mainly coloring pages and notebooking. Lots of extra reading (us reading to him) from the AG and WTM suggestions. Science - literature based at home. We choose a subject and read lots of books on it. He also takes a lot of science at coop. We are just starting some nature walks/journaling. PE - at coop in the fall, and kind of random this spring until soccer starts Art - picture study and reading biographies of artists, art projects at coop and home Music - listens to music and reading biographies of composers I loosely follow WTM but don't do grammar or spelling in first grade and we do more art/music. For implementation we tend to be CMish with short lessons and a longer narrating style. Edited March 10, 2009 by Emmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 My daughter will be a sort of combo K/ 1st grader, but here is what I have planned: Reading out loud (CLP Nature Reader, R&S Bible readers, I See Sam books, easy books from library) ETC (start with book 4, see how far we get). But I've heard some people say that books 4 on are really difficult for younger kids, so I'm open to more suggestions.) If this isn't a good option, use All About Spelling or Read Write Type. Webster's Syllablry on white board? (will try this, see how it goes) going to try to have her read silently for a few minutes a day handwriting practice/ copywork some memory work (poetry, Classical Conversations) finish Right Start B, start C. a couple of art projects and science experiments a week. Learn about some famous artists and their works. lots of read alouds (literature ones from Read Aloud Handbook/ Sonlight/ Real Learning/ Latin Centered Curriculum/ Five in a Row; and lots of folk and fairy tales. Bible stories. Science and social studies ones on themes.) Montessori geography maps and landform cards/ models. Puertas Abiertas or La Clase Diverdita for Spanish. (Anyone have any advice or opinions? I'm still dithering.) Classical Conversations once a week, though I am not going to try to keep up with it at home. We'll do some sporadic review, but I'm seeing this as a supplement and a way to scratch her "going to school at a school place with other kids" itch. music lessons and pe stuff in the community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) This is our first time through first grade as well. I plan on: Horizons math K Finish Phonics Pathways (???) Move into some "real" books (Little bear, Frog and Toad, etc.) Copywork made up by me Bible stories, one a day from ds's childrens bible AO's literature selections as written in AO yr1 WTM version of science--Biology broken into Animals, Human Body, and Plants, using library books and various reference books we own. SOTW and Activity guide. Art--three artists' work (Cassatt, Renoir, Manet) and lots and lots of homegrown crafts. Music--three composers (Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi) and lots and lots of homemade music. Anyway, thats the plan. We'll see how it actually plays out...;) Edited March 10, 2009 by urpedonmommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what program we will use if that happens. Maybe The Violin Book or the Alfred piano series.) PE - Probably a combo of dance (she loves her ballet and tap classes), swimming, gymnastics, soccer and/or karate. She is allowed to do 3 "extracurricular" activities at a time, so we have been rotating dance, gymnastics and swimming this year. We may just continue with the same for 1st grade. I'm also considering enrolling her in a drama class for some memory work and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) The fun thing about answering this question over and over, as I gear up to teach first grade again, is that my answers keep changing. I have a complete and accidental record of my thoughts on the Storyteller's first grade year in these "post your plans!" threads. Since you asked for extracurriculars, let me explain that my state requires us to teach music, visual arts, health and physical education (as well as geography, U.S. history, arithmetic, reading, writing, spelling, the English language, and science). Despite this, I'm hoping to plan an LCC year and let the subjects I don't want to directly teach take care of themselves in an unschooly fashion. (Celebrating Memorial Day counts as U.S. history, right?) My son will enter first grade already having been six years old for six months, and he will turn seven in January of this school year. Mathematics - Finish up Mathematical Reasoning C before moving into whatever level of Singapore the placement test suggests. Latin - Rosetta Stone English - Finish up Writing With Ease 2 and move into 3. Music - Pianimals Phonics 4 Piano Visual Arts - Continue with Ed Emberley books. Science - Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry Pre-Level 1 and nature study History - the recommendation in LCC for first grade, plus the Usborne Book of World History Literature - the recommendations in LCC for first grade Geography - Finish up Rand McNally Schoolhouse Beginner Geography & Map Activities and move into I-don't-know-what (suggestions welcome!) Religion - a homemade course focused around holidays, incorporating a few favorite religious picture books Edited March 11, 2009 by dragons in the flower bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcara Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You can click on the "curriculum" link in my sig to see what my 1st grader is doing this year. For extra curriculars, my dd goes to a homeschoolers gym class and swimming lessons at the YMCA once per week. She also goes to a Montesourri-type religious ed program, call Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, at our church once per week. And, she goes on Friday afternoons to my husband's college (he's a math prof) where they have a special program for homeschoolers taught by their College of Education students. The classes vary from semester to semester, but she usually takes art, science, or language classes there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 My current plans for DS, who will be 6 at the end of May: LA: *continue with Explode the Code (he'll probably be in the middle of ETC 3 by then) and easy readers (right now he's working his way through the Now I'm Reading series. *Start WWE 1 and FLL 1 *Spelling--TBD Math: not sure yet. He's doing Singapore 1A right now, but I'm considering switching to Right Start. Science: we're doing Nebel's BFSU, together with my 7 yo, right now. We'll continue that in the fall, and maybe add in/move on to Pandia Press' REAL Science History: second year of American history, again together with my 7 yo. Spanish: I'm hoping to get Puertas Abiertas Latin: Song School Latin Etc: we're in a homeschool co-op that will probably be doing some kind of math or math games, a kids' book club, maybe a Spanish tutor, not sure what else one afternoon a week. If it's in the budget, I'd like to sign him up for homeschool art classes. He might or might not want to do gymnastics like his older brother.

Annabel Lee Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 A little late to the party here, but for now (haha) my plans for 1st grade next year are: FLL 1, WWE 1 - copywork/narration & poetry memorization are included in these Reading: read-alouds w/ him reading out loud some from a custom list I've yet to make Reading/Phonics: finish up OPGTTR, easy readers & beginners books from list above AAS Horizons Math 1 SOTW 2 w/ AG (subject to change or to be supplemented by VP, SL, CHOW...) Earth & Space Science a la WTM, w/ some help from an unchosen curriculum (R.E.A.L., God's Design, RS4K, Apologia, and others are on the list to look at) Bible & Keys for Kids Abeka Penmanship grade 1, manuscript (maybe... I could combine penmanship w/ copywork from other subjects and not have this separate subject) Foriegn Language? Spanish, French or Latin... maybe, maybe not Atelier Art Awanas TaeKwonDo Soccer Outdoor recess daily, with the hope to include some nature study Homeschool PE at a Gymnastics studio (more fun than actual instruction), 2x/month Music - ? This *will* be filled in with something, I just don't know what yet. Calvert Discoveries in Music if not instrument lessons or a choir-type activity. Homeschool Club (used to be a co-op, now we just have "focus days" and field trips together 2x/month) Yikes, that looks like a lot for my baby when it's all written out! There may be some combining and streamlining yet to happen. My goal for this homeschooling adventure is to learn to streamline and simplify, to leave more time for fun, to follow whims and sparks of interest, and rabbit trails (literally and figuratively).

3byzaz Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 My last time with a first grader too. I have so enjoyed his K year! I am fairly new to WTM stuff, though. We are finishing the last volume of Weaver, which we have loved. Here's my thoughts for my little guy: Math - CLE Math 100--we have started this and love it. LA- CLE LA 100--started this also. May add in WWE eventually? Reading - Finishing Phonics Pathways soon - then CLE Reading 100 Science - God's Design (new ones--look great) with big brother - hopefully, around 4 books! Bible/History/Geography - Biblioplan Ancients with MOH, SOTW with AG for him and lots of literature--tag along with big brothers. And, then we are going to do Character Building for Families together. Planning on doing English from the Roots Up over the summer with all three and then pray about adding Latin? PE - daily 30 min. exercise time in the am. He also does CSB with Dad and brothers...not into sports...very into music...getting piano and guitar lessons from brothers right now...need to start more formal ones eventually...trying to get involved in a K/1st grade group that does fun things, but difficult with other kids too!! I think that's all--great thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
