I wrote up a list for Rose first-because first grade is so easy and fun to plan! I might add to it over time, but right now it uses mostly stuff we already own or can get at the library. My first grade plans are here.
**My First Grade Extras List**
Anything to do with Little House
- The books, of course: We will re-read Little House in the Big Woods for Core A. We might read Little House on the Prairie and Farmer Boy again and I definitely want to read On the Banks of Plum Creek. We will save the other books until she's a bit older.
- This website has some recipes that would be fun to try.
- Paper Dolls-I got these for her last year and she has so much fun with them!
- Watch Little House- I have never seen a single episode!
Math Fun
- Mathtacular DVD's
- Games- especially Dominos, Dino Math Tracks, Chutes & Ladders, Uno, the Uncle Wiggily Game, & Sum Swamp
- Pattern Blocks
- Books suggestions from the Living Math website
Science Extras
- Magic School Bus website - For watching videos, experiment ideas, games and printables.
- The Burgess Bird Book- Along with a book of bird songs and coloring pages.
- Magic School Bus Kits- We are finishing up the dinosaur one now and she has had a blast with it.
More Literature
We will be reading lots of stuff for Core A, of course, but just in case we need extra ideas, I made up this list.
- Sequels to any of the Core A books - Lots of the books (like My Father's Dragon, Boxcar Children, and Beezus and Ramona) are part of a series.
- Lots and lots of fairy tales!
Misc. Stuff
- Paper Dolls Around the World- These look like an awesome go-along for Core A!
Great idea to plan your 'extras' ahead of time! We are doing p4/5 this year. I will have to sit down to ponder our extras :)
