1st Grade Homeschool Pacing Guide

Use it to sketch your year, not as a strict schedule: if a skill takes longer, let the next quarter slide. Each math quarter has an everyday practice idea. Pair each quarter's topics with matching 1st grade resources.

5 pages: a cover and 4 printable pages. Year at a glance: the big skills for math, reading, writing and grammar, science and social studies in each quarter. Math by quarter: counting to 120 and facts within 10, tens and ones, two-digit adding, length, time and graphs, then shapes and fractions. Reading and writing by quarter: short vowels, digraphs, silent e and vowel teams, with sentences, nouns, verbs and opinion writing. Science and social studies by quarter: my body and senses, animals, plants and seasons, light and sound, communities, maps and American symbols.

Into four 9-week quarters, about 36 weeks in all. Each quarter names two or three big skills per subject, so you can see the whole year on one page.

No. Treat it as a map, not a schedule. If a skill takes longer, let the next quarter slide, and skip ahead when your child is ready.

Weekly and monthly planners, attendance and hours logs, report cards and portfolio pages for every grade are on the Kindergarten homeschool planning page.
