First Grade Homeschool Curriculum
Develop Independent Reading and Writing Skills
The joy of our First Grade Homeschool Curriculum is watching your child develop into an independent reader and writer. Through activities that develop a full range of phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency skills, you will help your child build on the printing skills learned in Kindergarten and begin to use our distinctive Calvert script, preparing him or her to express ideas in his or her own words.
Our formal spelling program overlaps with the phonics instruction in the reading course.
Math and Technology
Calvert is excited to offer a new math course using the world-renowned Singapore method. The Math manual is based on Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Math in Focus: Singapore Math textbook. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, problem solving, and skills fluency. Your child will focus on fewer concepts that are taught to mastery, thereby eliminating the need to reteach concepts year after year.
In the technology courses, your child will learn word processing, computer navigation, graphics skills, and visual mapping basics.
The science program includes the study of living things, our earth, weather, matter, motion, and energy.
Introduction to Social Studies
Your child’s first social studies classes explore original read-aloud narratives that include biographies of well-known explorers, political figures, inventors, and leaders in American life.
