Curriculum Planning: 1st Grade

April 19, 2021 By meredith Leave a Comment

Some links provided are affiliate links. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for supporting my blog in this small way. We'll start at the beginning (for me anyway). First grade is my youngest's current grade level, although MUCH of her curriculum is well-above a first grade level.

Curriculum Planning: Morning Time

April 15, 2021 By meredith Leave a Comment

Some links provided are affiliate links. As always, all opinions are 100% my own. Thank you for supporting my blog in this small way.

Unfortunately a lot of times, … [Read more...]

March 24, 2021 By meredith 1 Comment

Let me just preface this with this statement... You DO NOT have to track what your family reads! I'm simply sharing what's worked for my family, and trust me it's easy. If it weren't easy, I wouldn't be doing it. It does require a little extra step from me every now and then, but other than taking the minute I need to "track"the book there is no pressure. I think that's the key to making … [Read more...]

Read Aloud Recommendations

January 20, 2021 By meredith Leave a Comment

This post was written in September and discusses the first few read alouds we completed for the 2020-2021 school year. We are about six weeks into our school year and we’ve finished FOUR chapter books together already during our morning time! To say I’m excited (and actually somewhat impressed) is an understatement. I don’t know that we’ve ever read books that quickly. I’d love to share and one … [Read more...]
