The Magic School House


First Grade (tenative)

This is based on what worked last year with a bit more structure for this year.  We only school four days a week.  Don't know how long our day will be.  We are doing 20 minutes not counting family reads, so I would think maybe 45 minutes plus reading and play.


Language Arts Four Times a week

Grammar          FLL

Phonics            Phonics Pathways if not finished, then none

Spelling            None till later
