First Grade Curriculum Manual

Make planning a full year of classical homeschooling lessons easy with the Memoria Press First Grade Classical Core Curriculum lesson plans.

This lesson plan book features an easy-to-follow grid-box format, with a box for each subject each day of each week. Within each subject-box, assignments are given, with checkboxes next to each one. 34 weeks in total are covered, along with a 9-week phonics review for the summer.

Lessons revolve around the following areas of study, which have their own boxes in the schedule:

  • Recitation

  • Christian Studies
  • Spelling
  • Reading
  • Math
  • Copybook/Memory
  • Cursive
  • Literature & Enrichment

This guide also includes discussion questions for each subject and a recommended sample weekly schedule with a blank schedule for you to complete. The Appendix includes a 9-week phonics review lesson plan, an opening & closing prayer, letter activities for phonics review, first grade recitations with answers, memory verse/The Story Bible reference chart, book lists (read-alouds, history/culture/science, poetry, music/art), supplemental phonics activities, suggestions for studying spelling words, and spelling worksheets with room to practice writing words.

Please note that this lesson plan is a guide on how to use other resources; it cannot be used independently without the curriculum components it is based upon. A checklist is provided at the front of the book which lists the necessary components, along with a read-aloud book list at the back. See the "Sample Pages" link above to see these lists.
