Our Family's Grade 1 Resources
Since we were still living in British Columbia at the start of the school year, I was able to homeschool my son, Zachariah, through a Christian school in Kelowna.

It was really nice to have the cost of these books covered and the support of my teaching assistant.
Here's a list of the resources we used.

Kids + cups of water = spills. It's just one of those things that's expected. With 4 kids 6 and under, wiggling their arms around, we never made it through a meal without at least one spill. Even with lightning fast reflexes, by the time someone picks up the tipped cup, everything is already wet. This is how I stopped the spills.

Making Christmas Merrier
I honestly can't remember what my kids got for Christmas a couple of years ago. I don't even remember what my husband and I got them. We usually get them new socks and pyjamas every year, and probably bought some LEGO or other toys. After that, I don't remember.
