Rosemary wrapped up her first grade schoolwork on May 16.
If you walked into our house on any given day over the last nine months or so you may have found a model of the Nile River, a mummified chicken, a sprouting sweet potato, wall ‘paintings,’ clay Greek and Chinese jars, jars of fake blood, piles of papers, scads of crayons, and more library books that we could ever read. It was a full, fast year.
This gal memorized the books of the Bible, Psalm 23, and The Lord’s Prayer (a bit fuzzy on the last one, but we’ll keep practicing them over the summer).
We finished Saxon 2, most of the Ordinary Parents Guide to teaching reading, Explode the Code books 3&4, First Language Lessons-Level 1, Writing with Ease-Level 1, Zaner Bloser Handwriting 1, and Story of the World Volume 1, the Ancients.
We did most of our life science work through our co-op. And went on lots of field trips with them, too.
If you ask her, she’ll tell you that her favorite part of the school day was snack time. If pressed, she’ll tell you that she liked Story of the World, too.
Ready for summer
This summer, we’ll keep up on reading with the library and Barnes and Noble summer reading programs. We’re also doing XtraMath online to keep the math facts that she’s learned. It’s a very light schedule, but will hopefully make the beginning of second grade much easier.
