If you’re ready to plan first grade, or grade one, homeschooling, you’re in the right place! I want to share my overall first grade homeschool plan. I hope it will help you with your planning.
Here are the subjects I’ll be including in first grade:
- Form drawing
- Language arts
- Math
- American history
- Nature study
- Foreign language
- Art
- Handwork
- Music
Form drawing, language arts, and math will be in the main lesson block rotation. I don’t know yet how many weeks I will spend on each block, but here is the sequence of topics from Jamie York Press.
- Form drawing
- Language arts (letters)
- Math (quality of numbers)
- Language arts (letters)
- Math (four mathematical processes)
- Language arts (letters)
- Math (“From counting to math”)
- Language arts (letters)
Here is what I expect a typical homeschool day will look like on Monday-Thursday. Fridays will be reserved for family, friends, field trips, and festival preparations.
- Circle time (Bible story, songs, verses, warm-up exercises)
- Main lesson
- Nature study (outside)
- Lunch
- Rest time
- Painting, modeling, drawing, knitting, and/or recorder
- Snack, tea, and books
- Foreign language game
- American history
Take what you like from this and add and subtract as needed. The beautiful thing about homeschooling is that everyone can customize it to fit their family!
