I saw this post listed and had to read. My son who is in 1st grade this year is reading beyond the 1st grade materials I had left from my middle son. We're using the reading booklets for read aloud materials and to make sure there isn't a hole in his knowledge before he begins the 2nd grade books. There are also so many great resources to help 'flesh out' a study e.g. Homeschool Share, Learning Page (free Tommy books were a great supplement for my older son in 1st and 2nd grade), etc. As for math, he's just going through his new Math U see book fast at the moment. But, I suspect he'll eventually slow down when things get more difficult. And, we are reinforcing with fun games and products like Quarter Mile Math. Howdy from a fellow TOS Crewmate!

I think every teacher could benefit from doing this. As a new preschool teacher I was given a copy of the Wonder-Filled Weekdays curriculum, but found it to be lacking and incomplete. Using lessons and ideas from past teaching experiences (in Kindergarten and 1st grade) I am tying in things from other resources (especially ones on the web). :) Come by and visit me over at Free 2 Be Frugal!

But, that's me. Great job working through what you have already and figuring out the curriculum. I was lazy this year and just bought one, but it's also my first year HSing.
