I’ve decided on my daughter’s first-grade curriculum. It took me a while but I’m so glad to be done with it. I’ll list who and what I’m using below.

*Bible: I’m putting together my own Bible curriculum that will include a daily Bible reading, theology, church history, apologetics, logic, & other world views. I’m really excited to be putting this together. I can’t wait to share more about it in the future.

*History: our spine will be the Playful Pioneers by @thepeacefulpress. I’m so excited to use this curriculum. As a former history teacher, this curriculum is the best history curriculum out there because it is so complete. It includes living books, geography, art history, & recipes from the culture we’re studying!

*Art Study: for art study we are using Morning Time by @brighterdaypress. Her approach to art is the best and most complete, in my opinion. We’ll study musicians, famous artists, and poetry in the most simple and engaging way.

*Math: For math, we are using Math-U-See because it includes simple manipulatives that make learning math simple and fun.

*Science: for science, we are using Masterbooks @masterbooks because it includes apologetics with helps cultivate a strong Biblical foundation.

*ELA: for ELA we are continuing to use A Gentle Feast @agentlefeast because it teaches reading in the most engaging way I have ever seen. We look forward to our ELA lesson every day because of how this curriculum was designed.

I hope this post helps out some of you who are still looking for Charlotte Mason based curriculum. I use a little of everything and this style works out the best for us.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
