My little boy will be in 2nd grade next year.

 

He will be using:

 

Heart of Dakota, Bigger Hearts for His Glory (alongside his big sis with ext. pack)

 

R&S English 2 (a lot of this will be oral)

 

Gr. 2 Rod & Staff Phonics

 

CLE Math 2

 

He also will take outside classes & we'll be in our co-op for the 3rd year. I'm really looking forward to what we have planned.:)

Here is what we are doing. I think.

 

Math - Horizons 1B followed by TT3 and Singapore for extra practice

 

Spelling -All About Spelling

 

Grammar - Growing With Grammar

 

Copy Work and Narration -Writing With Ease

 

Reading - Abeka books followed by SL Readers 2

 

History - MFW Adventures with some SL Core 3

 

Science - SL Core 2 Science

 

Music - piano lessons (maybe)

 

Second language - ? Thinking of Rosetta and not sure if Spanish or French

 

Latin - Song School Latin (maybe)

 

 

I'm sure my list will be slightly different after I go to convention and check out the venders. :D
