Thank you all for the kind words we have received over the last few years. I felt the need to reorganize and make it simpler for you all to gain access to everything needed, still by grade but linked to the different lessons (both free and subscription versions) to help make your journey a lot easier.
Before you grab what you need, I want to remind you that each state is different in terms of regulations as in what subjects, hours and days are needed. That being said all the information below can used in any state.
In New York State, 1st graders are expected to cover Reading, Spelling, Writing, Language Arts, US History and Geography, Arithmetic, Science, Visual Arts, Music, Health and Gym for a total of 900 hours in 180 days. You are also expected to cover Patriotism and Citizenship, fire safety, New York History, highway safety, constitution and alcohol, drug and tobacco misuse.
