Curriculum

I am working my way through the Rainbow Resource catalog, trying to pare down my needs from my wants for next year.  I am very busy with the requirements of my special needs daughter and so trying to keep the curriculum for the 1st and 3rd grader as teacher easy as possible while still sticking closely to my Charlotte Mason, Classical, Ruth Beechick roots. I also have to somehow keep up with what the eighth grader is learning. This means for me, a few workbooks, for when I can't help them and a program like English For The Thoughtful Child for when I can.  I am interested in first grade math ideas.  I am thinking about Singapore, having used it with the two middles, but I also would like to just use the math folder games I have and add a little more manipulatives and drills.  Any suggestions on what is working for you would be helpful.  However if your first grade math requires an hour a day and costs more than $30, leave the suggestion on someone elses blog.  It won't work for me this year.

Oh I so understand about paring down our wants from our needs. I love to have the books on hand at home, but I really can find most of the living books we love to read at the library.

No math suggestions for you... ours is over $30.00 but if you look on e-bay you might be able to find Math U See for under that. Also... the first grade level (Alpha) is easy enough that you could get by with out the dvd so that would bring the cost down.

Have a blessed day!
