I decided to officially post what we plan on using for 1st grade, which begins August 29th. I do have miscellaneous resources that I plan to pull out if need be but this is the listing of our main curricula (and I've predicted which subjects we will continue on to the next level):
Bible - BJU Bible 1 then Bible 2
Math - Singapore Primary Math 2/Horizons Math 2 (book 2) and 3 (Book 1) - supplements "for fun" - Life of Fred Apples and Key to Measurement
Science - Noeo Chemistry 1/My Pals are Here activity books - supplements "for fun" - Basher Books, Magic School Bus books, The Complete Book of Science workbook. After Noeo, I think I'm going to go back to Sonlight Science D.
LA - BJU English 1 then 2, BJU Spelling 1 then 2, lots of read alouds
History - Sonlight Core 3 (we will be using this for a few years, working slowly through it)
We are also going to begin more work on handwriting but aren't using anything formal. I have some "1st grade" lined paper from Walmart. And of course, we'll have crafts and art projects, listen to music and do all sorts of other things. I'm hoping to start Squeak up with flute lessons too.
It looks like you have a great line up. Have a fabulous year!!
