Free First Grade Printables

Sometimes it's beneficial (and fun) to examine what a public school's curriculum looks like... what they're expectations are for their students and how they structure their day. Not for the sake of taking a carbon copy approach in our homeschools necessarily, but simply to serve as a tool for comparison. After all, homeschooling moms are notorious for comparing their own curriculum to what everyone else is doing... common you know it's true! lol

You can definitely get a feel for one first grade classroom at Mrs.perkins.com. Granted, there's not a lot there... you might find a few goodies to enhance your curriculum. It looks like the printables on this site are remnants of something grander in days past.

Things I'll likely print and keep for my own use:
First Grade Skills Assessment Might use this in lieu of a report card for First Grade. Something to keep in my children's school recorder... check it out!
Math Speed Drills There are a lot of other printables here as well, but I'll probably just print the math drills.
Vocabulary Lists Not a lot here, but you'll find a few vocabulary lists for grades 1-3

Free Printable Calendar Pages

I've been all over the web looking for calendar pages that my kids could learn from... something with cute graphics, sized to fit a single page. Believe it or not... that's easier said than done, but I finally found something that I was truly happy with!

About.com has high quality free printable calendar pages that your kids can color. They're not too juvenile either... what I mean is you'll enjoy them as much as the kids! The pages have very cute graphics. The only qualm I have is that the calendar boxes are very small... so if you're looking for a calendar to record info on, this might not be the best fit. I'm not getting too hung up on that though, since my primary focus is to simply familiarize my kids with how to read a calendar and count down the days and weeks, months and years.

So, if you're looking for cute (and free!) 2008 monthly calendar pages, or still needing to finish off December 2007, you may just find what you're looking for at About.com!
