momto2Cs Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) Do you all have your second grade plans set? What are you all doing? Here's mine... *Natural Speller *Finish The Reading Lesson, bolstered with Explode the Code *Listening to Grammar Land and doing these worksheets (orally) *Daily journaling when she's ready *Copywork about history, science, etc. *English From the Roots Up (done loosely) *Saxon Math 2 *I think we'll be using History of US (Hakim) and following rabbit trails. Also under consideration are the Time Travelers cds from Homeschool in the Woods. *American geography, using photographic books, Scrambled States (book & game), maybe ??? *Science/nature studies done as unit studies of interest (first one will be insects) *Art and composer studies ETA: We also belong to a homeschool 4H (like a co-op) where we'll be doing arts & crafts, probably cooking, and I'm leading a series of science projects based on the Book of Totally Irresponsible Science. Plus dancing or gymnastics, park days, etc. Edited July 7, 2010 by momto2Cs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) I'm glad for this thread. I look at my 7 yo some days and have no concept of what to do with him. I ask dh, "What would a normal kid his age be learning?" Those with academic olders and a younger tagged on understand, I hope. This child is a homeschool mess. He knows algebra but not all his addition facts; he knows politics, but not his "community helpers;" he can spell long complicated words but some of the letters are backwards. :D He is a sort of second-third grader (summer birthday, officially we are "holding him back" in second.) Here's what I have planned (or not planned) so far: Poetry, Bible, and other memorization Math: Singapore 2A/2B and R&S 2, some Miquon and some Montessori manipulatives, Right Start and Family Math games History/ Bible: TOG Year 1 LG/UG mix (with Usborne I-L Ancient History and Vos Story Bible as spines) Science: God's Design Life Science (Plants, Human Body, Animals) Language Arts: reading list (some for history, some good classics,) Climbing to Good English 2, Horizons Phonics & Reading 2, spelling still up in the air (SW, R&S, IEW???), writing is a home made combo of Ruth Beechick and IEW with narration, copywork, and dictation Latin: LFC 1 with friends, extra work on memorizing conjugations and declensions Piano lessons, symphony performances Art lessons, tours Boy Scouts (Wolf Cub :001_smile:) Swim team, wrestling, baseball, basketball, gym class ETA: Made some changes above, as I have made some decisions in the past few days.
