Satori Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I've seen a 1st and 3rd grade thread, but nothing for 2nd grade yet this spring. So let's start one! I'm just starting to think about next year.

misidawnrn Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have switched everything over this year to A Beka for a few reasons 1. DD likes colorful 2. I like ease 3. I started back to school in January for my BSN, working toward my Masters in Nursing/CNM and I really need the stuff all planned out since I am not giving up homeschooling AND I work 24 hours a week. Â So, I will be doing A Beka next year for 2nd as well. I just got the last of the books. I think I will also be adding in MOH for history since A Beka really just focuses on the US and I want more. This year we are supplementing with MM for math so we may do that next year, too. I was going to school year round but I think this summer (and probably the next few) it will be just worksheets, extras and IPad to keep her skills up.

silliness7 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm pretty sure this is our 2nd grade schedule: Â Language Arts: Rod & Staff English 2 Rod & Staff Spelling 2 Writing With Ease 2 but using selections from My Book House IEW's Poetry Memorization Cursive either with or without Memoria Press's kind of pricey cursive book. Â History: TruthQuest American History for Young Students Level I Science: I'm thinking about Christian Liberty Press's science book for 2nd grade and putting off Apologia for her one more year. Latin: Song School Latin Math: I really am pleased with the BJU worktext so will probably continue with book 2. But I'm looking at the Rod & Staff series also. I don't know if I'm insane enough to do 2 math books. I'm drawn to R&S's focus on getting the basic arithmetic facts down but I do like that BJU has a smattering of all kinds of fun math concepts and not just basic facts. Bible: not sure yet.

ladydusk Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Happily, we don't start until next December for 2nd Grade, but here's what we'd be doing if I were ready to go now (IOW, very subject to change): Â Memory Work: Hymns; Bible; Creeds; IEW Poetry; Catechism for Young Children/ Westminster Shorter Catechism; we have some science and history and geography memory work, too. Morning Reading: Misc literature, AO Literature? Â Bible: Covenantal Catechism supplemented with Bible Lessons for Juniors from Reformation Heritage books. History: Story of the World II Â Science: Elemental Science Astronomy & Earth Science, A Child's Geography, some Creation-related science [sigh] Â Art: Artistic Pursuits Music: Piano, HS Choir, lots of singing Phys Ed: Gymnastics, Soccer, Baseball, swimming English: Â Â First Language Lessons 3, possibly into 4 by the end (we have a little bit of FLL1 to finish) Writing With Ease 2 McGuffey Readers & CLP Nature Readers (reading practice) Spelling Power Explode the Code* Â Penmanship: Cursive First, hoping to be done and doing copywork only, but not sure Math: MEP with Math Mammoth* supplement (mostly for when we're stuck and need more practice) Latin: LFC-A Logic: Lollipop Logic and following Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamachanse Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) My son is on second grade work right now because we plan January-December. I'll have fun listing because we have only used SOTW, FLL, HWT, and RSO and then pieced all of the other subjects together. Now with two schooling and a newborn I need more structure and less planning.  History: SOTW2  Science: Finish RSO Life RSO chemistry  Math: Singapore 2B and IP  Language Arts: FLL2 SWS2 GWG2 WWE2  Handwriting: HWT printing power  Art: How to teach art to children Emphasis art  Nature: Handbook of Nature Study following Outdoor Hour Challenge  Reading: Books, books, and more books.  Considering starting Latin...again. And maybe piano. Edited April 2, 2011 by mamachanse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
