Curriculum

This is a general overview of our curriculum.  However, we also have much more which we manage to squeeze in somehow or the other!  We have phonics programs to help with reading, spelling, a writing program, and we also do quite a bit of reading with trade books. We do have homework: math page which reviews what we did that day, spelling, and reading homework. This should not require more than 15 minutes in addition to 15 minutes of reading every day.

I am very receptive to parent communication and parents will hear from me regularly.
