We joke that her love language is playing games! Two subjects that we “exclusively” use games for are: Spelling and Grammar How we teach SPELLING with games: Our favorite game to use for 1st grade was BOGGLE JR. We intend to start using BOGGLE soon, but right now we are working on crossing off all the words in BOGGLE JR!

PreK and 1st Grade Materials List: English: 1st Grade Language Arts: Reading and Writing Comprehension Spelling and Vocabulary Textbook, K-12 (Used sparingly) Nature…

Schedule is time related, where rhythm comes naturally.” – Rule This Roost…
