Our goal for math in the primary grades is the mastery of basic facts. One of the most effective ways to help students achieve mastery is simply to practice.

With daily timed drills, Memoria Math Challenge is designed to give students that math practice and also to help the teacher measure students’ immediate recall. We start with addition, subtraction, and number dictation in kindergarten, and ramp up to 200 daily problems by the end of first grade.

If students are able to master their math facts in the primary years, they can devote more time to complex math operations in grammar school and upper school.

Level A focuses on writing numbers, counting, and addition and subtraction facts up to seven
Level B focuses on addition and subtraction facts up to 10
Level C focuses on addition and subtraction facts up to 18

From the Publisher:

Seasons Afield is a Schullandheim approach to primary science and nature study for primary grade students. This German concept to natural science reflects all we hold dear, combining school, nature, and home. Your field guides will direct your studies of the natural world, using picture books to take you on a journey through the seasons.

Explore the outdoor world through observation, learning the science behind your discoveries. You will learn about decomposition and mushroom mycelium; become a tree detective and study the senescence of leaves; practice cyanotype printing to capture the structure of a snowflake; discover the life cycles and habitats of your favorite creatures.

You will encounter changes in flora and fauna through fieldwork experiments, guided watercolor lessons, literature, and scientific wonder, while you awaken a love of nature—first in you as a mentor, and in turn, your children.

Rosa wants a robot for her birthday, but when she doesn’t get the one she wants, she finds that her angry and dissatisfied thoughts stick to her like glue, and she can’t seem to get rid of them. Three unusual characters arrive, each promising to remove the negative thoughts from her head, but each one fails and in fact only serves to make the situation worse. Finally a new character appears and leads Rosa to the truth about how to combat ignorance, hate, and greed so that she can find happiness, even when things don’t go exactly as planned.

This fun story, told in rhyme, is delightfully illustrated and includes pages in the back that provide an explanation of the basics of Buddhist philosophy, questions for discussion, and resources for further explanation.
