Curriculum for my 1st grader

Post by msglup » Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:26 am

I've researched placement chart for my son, going into the 1st grade. I am in need of History and Science curriculum that you offer. Does your History and science come seperate or does it include Phonics, reading and Math? I am kinda lost....lol.....I am also not seeing what all the books include. The books I have come across are *The world God made, * Our Father's world, Also the 1st grade economy package *Little hearts for his glory etc....Do these books include workbooks, extra activities etc....please help me choose what I need....Many thanks...Sheri G

Hi Sheri!
If you are using your own math and phonics, then you will need the economy package plus a science book (there are three choices). The economy package has the history, the guide with activities, lesson plans, etc, fine motor skills, and storytime. For LHFHG, this costs about $80. Then the science book is about $10 - and you can pick The World God Made or Our Father's World. The experiments in the guide can be used with either of these books. If you want to add in more Bible, then you can order the devotion ($12) and CD ($10). You could technically just buy the guide and the history books too, and not order the Thinking Skills and Storytime books, but it would only save you about $9.

Here is what I am ordering for my first grader:
1 300B - LHFHG - Economy Package - 1st Grade 300B $81.19 $81.19
1 400A - BLHFHG - Economy Package 400A $79.99 $79.99
1 302B - LHFHG - Our Father's World 302B $10.50 $10.50
1 302I - LHFHG - Devotions for the Children's Hour 302I $12.99 $12.99

I am ordering the Beyond set because she will be ready for the emerging reader as well as spelling in it before we are done with LHFHG. But, you probably don't need that yet. I am not getting the CD because we have other CDs with verses in the KJV, which is what my daughter is memorizing.

I agree with Stephanie. If you are ordering from Little Hearts, that is what you will need.
