We will be on Christmas break for the next two weeks, plus a week of "fun school" to start off the new semester. During our time off, I will be researching and ordering D's first grade curriculum. Here is what I am currently planning to use, keeping in mind that I am continuing to discover more about D's learning style, which may affect some of my decisions prior to starting school next fall.
MATH~ Singapore Primary Math 1A and 1B (Standards Edition)
PHONICS~ Continue with OPG; Explode the Code (online)
GRAMMAR~ First Language Lessons
HANDWRITING~ Getty-Dubay Italics Book B; begin Book 1; Getty-Dubay Copywork Book 1
HISTORY~ Story of the World: Ancients; SOTW Activity Book; NH History Unit Study
GEOGRAPHY~ Rand McNally Map Activity Book;
LeapFrog SmartGlobe
SCIENCE~ R.E.A.L. Science: Life Science; Nature Study
POETRY~ The Harp and Laurel Wreath for memorization;
A Child's Introduction to Poetry
MUSIC~ Piano lessons; Story of the Orchestra; Classical Kids
ART~ Child Size Masterpieces; Draw Squad
P.E.~ Hockey, Karate, Gymnastics, Swimming
At first glance it looks like a lot, but many of the subjects will only be studied once or twice a week. Math, reading and writing will continue to be the focus of our daily lessons.
