My curriculum maps are organized by grade level with a whole year of monthly curriculum calendars. We do 48 weeks of school with 4 weeks off at different times of the year to accommodate our work and vacation schedules. None of our days are fully packed with school since I’m balancing working full-time from home as well as homeschooling in these curriculum map lesson calendars. If you have more time or more motivated kids, you could always compress the schedule into 6 months or add additional lessons that fit your learning goals.
If you’d like the calendar Word version (pictured here) that you can edit to customize, please visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store. You get the whole package of curated monthly curriculum map homeschool resources for Pre-K through 10th grade for less than $20. Completely worth it considering the hundreds of hours it took me to compile this resource and then format it into something incredibly useable. If you do purchase, thank you for your support! This resource is for personal use only.
If you’d just like the lists for each month, scroll down.
The learning blocks contain links to a variety of resources including free printables, Teachers Pay Teachers printables, Amazon games/workbooks/toys/products, paid print curriculums, free online subscriptions, paid online subscriptions, YouTube videos, free blogs/websites demonstrating hands-on science experiments or art projects, specialty educational products, etc. Recommended books are listed for each month. I also encourage kids to pick out any books they want to read at the library a couple times a month.
In the Teachers Pay Teachers editable calendar version of the curriculum maps, there are no affiliate links. On this website though, the Amazon products are affiliate links.
