Curriculum

We are very relaxed with our curriculum.  Curriculum provides us with inspiration and guidance not necessarily daily assignments.

2013 - 2014

1st Grade - Holly

Math - Singapore, we are going to start by reviewing 1B.  Life of Fred, cuisenaire rods, baking, and whatever other fun stuff we decided to pounce on.

Phonics - Progressive Phonics, with Evan Moor Fundamentals 2 and MCP Plaid as supplements when we are in a worksheet mood.  Lots of reading.

Writing - WWE, other various copy work, narration etc.  Lots of reading.

History - Story of the World Volume 1.  Plan to read 1 or 2 chapters a week while coloring the coloring page.  May do activities from the activity guide when interested.  Other interest led subjects.

Science - Interest led, with a slight emphasis on biological sciences.  Books, internet videos, "pounce" lessons from Mom, especially since this is my area of expertise.  We also will be hosting a science club to do experiments a few time a month with some friends.


K4 - Heather

Math - Life of Fred.  Joining Holly for most math activities.

Reading - Same as first grade.  Heather reads at a beginning first grade level.

Writing - Handwriting Without Tears K, copy work. Heather already writes most upper and lowercase letters, but needs some work on form.  She will likely participate in some WWE lessons.

History & Science -  Join Holly for all her activities.  Heather has a particular interest in bugs and rocks, so I want to devote some time to those as well.
