Ravin Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Daily subjects: Math: Practical Arithmetics (similar to Ray's) supplemented with Miquon and/or an abacus program (al-Abacus or Mathabacus, haven't decided) LA: CW Primer, maybe Webster's Spelling if I think she needs more spelling instruction, DD Read-alouds, maybe some HOP 2nd if she needs more phonics Latin: Lively Latin (plan on taking it slow) Weekly block subjects: History: The History of US for U.S. history, supplemented with some fun stuff like Wee Sing America (OR, a biography-focused history approach, I haven't decided) Geography: Evan-Moor Beginning Geography, supplemented with geography songs and an internet-linked atlas Science: R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey: Earth and Space, with probably her dad and a telescope supplementing Heathen Studies: probably focus on a virtue study Classical Studies: Bible stories (Ergermeier's, or whatever the in-laws provide for free that looks okay to me) English Studies: American folk tales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabelneri Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Here's my best guess so far: English: MCT Island level, WWE2 (because she loves it) Spelling: Sequential Spelling Penmanship: ZB Cursive (we might be done w/ this by then) Math: MEP, Professor B, ALEKS (w/ a little Singapore IP & RS games) Science: Nebel History: SOTW2, but we'll focus in on a handful of cultures & skip most of the workbook French: 2nd year of the Learnables, co-op class Art: Artistic Pursuits Art Appreciation: Child-Size Masterpieces Music: Piano lessons Music Appreciation: A Pocketful of Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping In Puddles Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 We really just do the next thing after we finish something but ours should shape up to be about here: Sequential Spelling Did you do Sequential Spelling yet, or plan to start 2nd grade? If you are using it, is there anything you don't like about it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ele325 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 We started using it earlier this year. I have no complaints. After the first few lessons we haven't done the part that requires me to write every word on a white board, she has been able to see the similarities without that, which is nice. We just do a spelling lesson every day. It usually takes less than 10 minutes and her spelling is improving Eleanor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabelneri Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I'm happy with Sequential Spelling too... we were using AAS this fall, but dd went through the first level very quickly, but it didn't seem to be helping her day-to-day spelling much. But when we were doing spelling it was great! The cost was too high to buy another level right away. We also did a little Spelling Workout, but that was very, very basic. Dd liked it better because of the activities, but I don't think she was learning much. We're only in our 3rd week using Sequential Spelling, but it's going great. We've also dropped the part where I write every word on the white board b/c dd doesn't need that -- I just write the ones that she misspells. And she's learning much more useful words... "could" "should" and "would" are all in early lessons, which I really appreciate. The only thing I might change about it is that 25 words in a sitting might be a little much for dd. Other than that it's great. It's going to last us longer than 3 months, and dd is actually learning to spell. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto2Cs Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Language Arts: Primary Language Lessons, Elson Readers, and CopyworkMaybe: English From the Roots Up for vocab. Math: McRuffy Second Grade Color Math Science: A year of in-depth nature studies History: The Middle Ages, using this book list Art, Music, etc.: We'll study art through the historical periods we cover. For hands-on art, we may do Sketch Tuesdays or something similar connected to our art appreciation. For music appreciation, we'll keep using Classics for Kids Composer of the Month. We may start Latin too, with Latin for Children, Lively Latin, or ??? Already a couple of changes in place! For math, we're going to drop the workbook/curriculum approach and go with THIS. Here's a link to science resources we plan to use also, and a way in which we may approach nature studies. Still on the hunt for just the right Latin program - something I can use with both a 2nd grader and 4th grader at the same time, and that doesn't cost too much, alhough without the math texts, I'll have a little more money to play around with!
