2010-2011 First Grade Curriculum

I don't (yet) have a fancy schmancy blog ... so I don't have neat little tabbies at the top of the page to add elements like this one ... our curriculum. The heart of our home school (well, aside from Jesus) is our curriculum: the materials that bring our day-to-day alive.

So, for now, here is our curriculum in this nifty list. On the right side bar you can click on the pictures of our curriculum and you will be taken to the respective websites. I'm learning.

This is what our year has developed into over the past six or seventh months ... we started with some other materials here and there ... added things, dropped things, tweaked things ... and here we are:
