These are the topics we will study this year, based on the State Standards, although they may not be in this order. (I may teach them backwards, or in Yiddish. I may even teach only every other word and then go back and teach the other words that I missed the first time when I was only teaching every other word. I may only teach the first half of each word, and then go back and teach the second half of each word later. I may take all of the words in the lesson, jumble them up and then teach them in random order. Don't like that? Bad too fathead!)
