Earthschooling Schedule First Grade through Eighth Grade

Important Note: The list below is intended to be a GENERAL overview of the grades. It does not include a list of teacher support materials and videos, nor does it include a list of the cultural enrichment lessons. Additionally, if you are purchasing Living Lessons your handwork list will be much larger than is listed below. Many extra handwork lessons come with the Living Lessons. However, despite these few things that are missing from the list, we hope this will help give you a good basic overview of all the Earthschooling grades…
