PreK and 1st Grade Curriculum Picks for the 2020/2021 Homeschool Year!
•
Can I just say how excited I am to begin “formal schooling” with my kids again??
We sort of tapered off kind of early last “school year” because I was finishing up my bachelors! We got back to it for June, and then did some fun Summer schooling in July.

Without further adieu…
Our PreK and 1st Grade Curriculum Picks for the 2020/2021 Homeschool Year!
The first thing that you should know is that we do most of our studies “Family style” with the exception of Language Arts, and Math. So the majority of the materials we use are wonderful for both grades, and many others as well!
The second thing that you should know is that my kids aren’t necessarily using studies in their “grade level” because we don’t really follow that.
William, age 4, is in Preschool in some things- not any grade level in some things- and in Kindergarten in some things.
Ellie, age 6, is 1st grade age. But she’s in Kindergarten LA, 1/2nd grade Math, and grade level Science and History!

Here are our picks for Math!
Singapore Math, we use PreK and K for Will, and 1st and 2nd for Ellie.
