Math: Tens, Ones, and Adventures: Grade 1 Mathematics
A full-year grade 1 math course built around short, parent-delivered sessions. Students move from counting and comparing objects toward fluent addition and subtraction within 20, place value in tens and ones to 120, two-digit comparison and addition, measurement, time, simple data, and shape composition. Every number idea is introduced with countable objects, number lines, or base-ten groupings before any symbol appears. Parents receive exact scripts, listening points, and tap-only answer choices so a non-teacher can run the lesson.

A complete first course in reading, built on systematic synthetic phonics: every sound explicitly taught, every practice word decodable from sounds already learned, and checked mechanically, not just promised. Clara teaches the oral half out loud (blending, segmenting, sound games); the child taps printed words to show they can read them. The app reads every question aloud, so a non-reader can use it, because reading the ANSWERS is the skill. 36 weeks from four letter sounds to reading a real book.

The child's world, widening one ring at a time: my story and my family, then rules, jobs and money, then maps and places, then the past itself. Every week is a short scripted activity a parent runs, an elder interview, a family market, a treasure map, a time capsule, followed by a five-minute spoken check-in where Clara asks what happened and your child answers by tapping. Traditions, symbols and holidays are taught as things people do and remember, evidence over myth, at exactly the depth a five-to-seven-year-old can own. Follows the C3 framework's civics, economics, geography and history at K-2 level.

Science: Science Explorations: Kindergarten to Grade 2
Real science for the youngest scientists, done with ice cubes, ramps, seeds and the actual sky, not a screen. Each week hands the parent a short scripted exploration (kitchen-table materials, exact words to say, what to listen for), and the app's only job is the five-minute check-in afterward, where Clara asks what happened out loud and your child answers by tapping. Weather and seasons, pushes and pulls, living things and their places, materials, sound, and two build-test-fix engineering weeks, the full NGSS K-2 span, at the pace of a five-to-seven-year-old's attention. A year-long adopted-tree study runs through the whole course.
