First/Second Grade

Well, I failed at my attempt to update more frequently. I am now into my second year of homeschooling. I concentrated more on reading and math last year so we've picked up where we left off.

We use a lot of supplementary books so I'll just list the major resources used. Math is the only subject in which I follow the sequence given. Mostly, I use workbooks as a guide of what to cover. I am currently using the following:

CTCMath

Health, Safety, and Manners 2

The Complete Book of Spanish, Grades 1 - 3

DK Workbooks: Geography, Second Grade

The Good & the Beautiful Language Arts & Literature (also covers writing, art, and geography)


Social Studies/History & Science mostly consists of topical studies using books, videos, games, projects, and field trips.

Homeschool Curriculum: 2015-2016

K5-First Grade

Where have I been?!

I'm going to attempt to do better with blogging. I started by reading my first post on my tentative curriculum plans. Well, I never went that route.

We officially started in July 2015. Soon after starting, I discovered that with the exception of reading and math, the Kindergarten material was too basic for her. I decided to use the following:

Reading Eggs
Mathseeds
Community Helpers
Rainforest Journey - Life Science
My America and My World 1
Health, Safety, and Manners 1
Discovering God's World 1
Scholastic Success With Grammar, Grade 1
Apologetics Press: Exploring God's Word - Year 1


Does this look like a lot? It's really not. As of October 2015, we have not started My America and My World, and Rainforest Journey is complete. Also, since Mathseeds does not allow us to skip lessons, I've been supplementing with a first grade math workbook. We are about 4 lessons away from first grade.
