Ali in OR Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 My youngest will be in 2nd next year. I don't have everything figured out yet, but here's what I've got planned now:  math: Singapore 2a/2b/CWP 2 and Horizons 2 writing: WWE 2 grammar: FLL 2 spelling: R&S 3rd grade handwriting: RFH T (cursive part) music: piano lessons art: some drawing program TBD history: Ancients science: chemistry  She has always tagged along with big sister for history, science, Spanish, and Latin. I have not required much from her in those subjects. Now that she is getting older, I have to put some thought into what her output will be for these subjects--probably nothing written in Spanish or Latin until 3rd grade. She reads very well (just finished the Percy Jackson series), so nothing formal for reading. Lit is just whatever we read aloud together--lots of great classic kid lit.

Ravin Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Let's see...  Math: Upton-Strayer Practical Arithmetics, supplemented with Miquon and Mathabacus  Writing: Classical Writing Primer  Spelling: Webster's Spelling (free download from Don Potter site)  Reading: Readers, HOP if needed  Latin: Lively Latin  History: American History, not sure what curric I'll use yet  Geography: Evan-Moor Beginning Geography, Geography songs and exploring internet-linked world atlas, maybe unit study on 50 states  Science: R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey: Earth and Space  English Studies: American folktales  Classical Studies: Bible stories  Heathen Studies: Virtues unit study, partly using The Book of Virtues, partly using online resources and stuff I make up myself; we may watch Wagner's The Ring Cycle, too, which can double as music appreciation.  Music/PE/Art: Enrichment Program covers all these and then some, but she'll likely also take some dance, guitar lessons, and maybe football or basketball, depending on what classes are available when (we only do 1 extracurric class at a time aside from enrichment program).

FO4UR Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Everytime I answer this, it changes...:lol: Â FLL/WWE/SWR (although...this is seeming like too much LA...so I may drop FLL and just do grammar with WWE and SWR...I am curious to see what SWB does to revamp FLL;)) Re-starting SWR is dependent upon how he does with reading this summer though. We just started reading through Word Mastery this week, and I hope to finish it by fall....but we'll just hold off on SWR until we finish regardless. I could hang onto FLL and spell through Word Mastery after we are done reading through it...I'm obviously not decided here!:confused: Â Reading - I read aloud classics (pulled from AO and other lists) and he reads to me daily. (right now he's reading VERY simple books with large letters on white background....we'll see where he is in the fall) Â Math - Miquon/Singapore with RS games. Â History - US History with a very old TimeLife set that was dh's when he was a boy. We'll flesh it out with library books. Â Science - Iv'e got Apologia Zoo II and TOPS "Get a Grip" in my RR wishlist at the present...no promises I won't change my mind before hitting "submit":tongue_smilie: Â Music by me - I'm teaching basic piano and singing skills...and a tiny bit of theory. Â Art - I'd love to outsource this one!:001_huh: Until I do, I will *try* to teach some basic drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Math: Saxon 2 History: History Oddysey-ancient Science: Elemental Science-biology LA: Still working this out. . . but it will involve lots and lots of literature whatever it is :) And we'll probably throw some music and art in yet, but haven't worked that out.

kalanamak Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Here is what my second grader has done this year:   All of WWE1 and now starting WWE2  GWG 1/2 (will finish both this year)  Finished Reading Pathways, book A McCall Crabbs, continued SWR (for reading). Reads aloud to me 4 times a week.  SWO A and about to finish B (for spelling)  SM 2 A/B plus drills  SOTW 2 without narration (but quizzes) but mostly books on people like Marco Polo and Elizabeth I and peoples, mostly Vikings, Knights, Crusades, Feudal living, Mayans, and what the Chinese were up to. Some museums and re-enactments (a med. village and soon! a large Civil war one)  Earth and Astronomy science via RSO and oodles of level 2-4 readers on gravity, weather. A 2 week field trip through Yellowstone, Utah, Mesa Verde, GC, Zion, Bryce, two caves and the observatory in Flagstaff, plus some volcanoes (Crater Lake) and the salt flats. Much rock collecting.  A lot of classical music and 6 hour long orchestral events for kids (Peter and the Wolf, e.g.). Artistic Pursuits and plenty of experimentation. Also, the local museum.  I didn't get to cursive, but kiddo is printing legibly on grown-up paper. This is very exciting given my and Papa's handwriting.  Minimus for fun. He remembers more of this than I expected. I just got Song School Latin to mix in.  This is a very wiggly, not "early" kid in reading or anything else. Just healthy "Standard US Issue" boy.
