Goals and Tools to Reach Them

I posted our school schedule and will follow up with my game plan - my goals for first grade. Note that I am only homeschooling one. In high school with my older children, I preferred a "canned" curriculum with few substitutions, mainly religion and sometimes science. In these early grades, I really like individualizing the curriculum to my child. I really like CHC and Charlotte Mason, both, but it ends up being a hodpodge of subjects and text that I think will work for us.
Here are the goals I have set for the first grade and the tools I plan on using to help meet them. Pay close attention to "School is FUN". It is listed last, but will be a focus this year.

First Grade Schedule

I have been busy working on school stuff. We are very laid back when it comes to schooling, but you could not tell it by our schedule. Evening work is done with Dad . We always get the core curriculum done, but everything else is movable. Here is what it is looking like.
