My daughter's lessons are going really well. Since this is my first year homeschooling, I am always second guessing myself. When I was first getting started a friend of mine recommended I get a copy of "What Your Kindergartner Needs To Know" by E.D. Hirsch Jr. While out and about this past weekend I found a copy and picked it up. Looking through the book I saw that I was on track with a lot of the things it had mentioned and there were some things I was lacking.
With the help of this book I can now be sure I am going to include everything she needs to know! There are some really fun ideas in there too. We blasted off in a rocket ship to see what Earth looks like from the moon and she loved every second of it! It even gives me a list of books I can check out at the library to go along with each lesson.
Now this is more of a "how to piece your own lesson plans together" kind of book. It is not something that has each day made out for you so if that's what you're looking for, I'm afraid you'll have to keep looking. If you're like me though, and you want to make sure you haven't left anything out with the curriculum you have already pieced together than this is the perfect book for you. There is one for each grade level so I went ahead and got a copy for 1st and 2nd grades too!
