Focus on First Grade.....

On Friday, after a month of attending Kindergarten at a local school, we decided that it wasn't working, so we have taken the steps to homeschool A this year.

As she has already completed most of the work taught during the kindergarten year, we are focusing on the grade one curriculum. A has spent a lot of time around her older siblings, and for this reason, she has already experienced much of what we will cover this year......so instead of pushing work at her, we plan to relax, have fun and work at her pace.

A's main interests are arts and crafts, math and reading. She also loves to be active outdoors. These are interests I plan to make the most of - encouraging her love of learning rather than making learning 'work'.

If you'd like to follow along and see the activities we do each day...please feel free to check back here regularly!
