frugalmama Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Our plans are: SL Core B+C, spread out over 2 years for 2nd and 3rd SL 3rd grade readers & LA Pathways readers grade 2 with workbooks CTGE 2 MCP Math B Behold & See 2 Daily Grammar 2 Map Skills B Spelling Power ZB Handwriting 2M SL Science DVDs 2 year trip around the world geography program I created Brownie Girl Scouts And yes it looks like overkill, but we school 6-7 days a week so it's not really as heavy as it looks.

Element Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Still planning, but I think I have decided upon these: Math: Math Mammoth 2a/b, CWP Grammar: PLL Science: lit-based physics (following big brother) Geography: Pearson's "Maps, Charts, and Graphs" workbook series History: SOTW Middle Ages Writing: ZB Cursive, Evan Moor's Daily Paragraph Editing (& 6-Trait Writing? I'm not sure about writing yet) Honestly, I want next year to be as literature-based as possible so I don't know exactly what it will look like. I know we will be notebooking nature studies, science, and art. It will be dd's first year home so I want her to have a light, enjoyable year. (As I told her, "Have all the fun you can in second grade. I've seen my third grade and it is hard.";)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie131 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 We plan to do: Math: RS level C and maybe begin D LA: Queens Language Lessons, WWE1-2, AAS1-2, Penny Gardner's Italics Everything else: LBC - we are using the grade 1 curriculum so I can combine with my kindergartener. We are switching out the American History portion and subbing Canadian History. Otherwise we are using it for geography, world history, composer study, art study, nature study, science, health and art. We also will be taking art lessons, skating and swimming, as well as participate in a nature club and whatever else strikes our fancy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Here's what I have so far. Miquon and MEP FLL 2 SOTW-Ancients BFSU and Critical Thinking Through Science AAS 2-3 WRTR Poetry/Composer/art study ala Charlotte Mason Telling Gods Story A LOT of reading aloud of good, quality literature. Gymnastics and horseback riding. We have a wonderful opportunity to go and learn at the farm where she rides, they've said we can come out everyday if we like, so that in itself will provide a wonderful education for all of us. I think I'm most excited about living life at the farm than any curriculum lol. Possible WWE1, or maybe just do it on my own. I have The Complete Writer book, so I'll have to see if I have time to plan it all out, or if I find the workbook for cheap, I'll get that. Also not sure on what phonics to do, if any. Dd is in VT right now, I'm hoping that when she is done or close to it, she will be reading better and we will have a better idea of where to go. I also want some sort of handwriting workbook...I like the look of HWOT, but since I'm using WRTR, I don't think those two are compatible. Perhaps just handwriting paper? I don't know.

violingirl Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I write a lot of my own plans, so a lot of our subject lists look long since I can't just say "Curriculum XYZ". Language Arts: Spelling (our own lists), WWE, finishing FLL 1 and then moving into FLL 2, Handwriting: HWT Printing Power then moving over to Getty Dubay History: Our own studies- American History will be studying Lewis and Clark and the Pioneers/Westward Expansion and 1 month on Elections to go with the 2012 Election. World History will be focused on Ancients using a variety of sources including SOTW 1. Science: Let's Read and Find Out books, The New Way Things Work, The Story of Inventions, My Body, Christian Liberty Nature Reader 1, nature study starting with One Small Square: Backyard, A unit on ships and navigation, 2 experiments/projects per month and a biography of a famous scientist each quarter. Narrating and notebooking along the way. Math: finishing Saxon 2 first semester then on to Saxon 3 Memory Work: Awana memory verses, American Presidents, history and science sentences (in the same vein as CC, but our own sentences that go along with what we are actually studying in history and science). There is also poetry in FLL that we will memorize as we come across it. Faith: Studying God's Word A and Awana club Fine Arts: 2-4 planned art projects per month and plenty of free art time, Suzuki violin, 1 composer biography per quarter, 1 artist biography per quarter, picture study and composer study a la CM to go along with the biographies. French: My own written plan Geography: continue working on mapping the globe, and then picking one continent to focus on this year (DS's choice) Literature: still building this list, but we'll read several books together (probably finish the last 2 Narnia titles) and he'll read a lot on his own too.

zenjenn Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I will have a 2nd grader next year! ;) So far the plan is: Math: TT4 + MM 4a. She's really good with math, we already finished TT3 in March, and we're currently filling in a few gaps and rounding out the year using select topics MM 3b. Also want to try Life of Fred as a supplement for both kids starting next year. Writing: WWE2 + daily journaling History: SOTW2. Science: I have RS4K - Pre-Level 1. I have all 3 subjects and planned to do all 3 this year, but ended up doing only Physics. So, we'll probably dip into chemistry next year. We attend 2 homeschool science classes at the science center each month, and we were also involved with Lego Robotics Jr. League the whole fall semester (weekly 2 hour meetings) and we will probably do so again. The kids also check out science books and DVDs from the library on a regular basis. I found that these activities provided ample science where just using the RS4K periodically on the rare week we had time for something extra was fine. Music: I planned to teach both my kids piano this year, and failed utterly. They are interested and even good at it, but for some reason when it comes to music, we end up in arguments. I'm thinking next year of getting both the kids music lessons from a 3rd party. Language: Another failure this year, especially with this child (the rising 2nd grader). She just wasn't ready for the Hebrew, emotionally she was just checked out. We did dabble with some Latin roots for fun. This summer she is attending summer camp for 4 solid weeks that include daily Hebrew, so I'm hopeful that it'll be a nice jump start, plus with the added maturity, that we can tackle Hebrew next year with greater success. We will do literature selections related to history. My rising 2nd grader is an extremely fluent reader and has been for a while, so we're done with phonics and all that. We will probably do FLL informally (have in the past). She's a natural speller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iona Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ds1 will be in 2nd next year so this is good for me to organize my thoughts Reading-mcguffey eclectic reader 4, assigned reading from various lists LA-fll2, wwe2, aas3 and 4, cursive copywork math-mm 2a/2b and maybe cwp1 history-sotw2 science-earth and space books lit-a combo of ao,fiar,lcc and other lists Read alouds based around science, history and other lit fine arts-mmpt and maybe dwc with dad-catechism and piano enrichment-lots of outdoor time, swimming (summer), taekwondo (school year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blossom'sGirl Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I will be having my last 2nd grader next year. I cannot believe how much I obsessed about it with my first son and with my last it is just such not a big deal as he tags along in most everything. Math: Continue w/ Rightstart C and add along with CWP 2 LA: Finish FLL 2 and do FLL 3 Rod and Staff Spelling 2 (along with SWR phonogram/ rule reviews) May do BJU Reading 3 w/ workbook WWE 2 Getting Started w/ Latin Typing: Typing Instructor for Kids Music Ace (would love to get him piano lessons) Art - Undecided - he has already done all 3 K-3 Artistic Pursuits book and I'm not sure I want to do the next level yet Science: We are doing Apologia Flying Creatures right now and they want to do the Swimming ones next. I would love to get a Life Science that my 2nd, 4th, and 7th graders could do together but have not found one I am really interested in. History: Core 4 from Sonlight. I'm not sure how much of the reading I will have him do. He is a good reader for his age and his older brother (3rd grade) struggles with this. This year they have been sharing the SL Core 3 reading together out loud. I see that some are doing Evan-Moor geography. I may add this if I haven't sold it. I need to go through my totes of curriculum to see what I have. Edited April 11, 2012 by Blossom'sGirl forgot something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayne J Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Right now the line up looks like this: MM 2 a and b Prima Latina and Minimus WWE 2 FLL2 WRTR as phonics reinforcement and spelling (if I can figure the darn thing out. Yes I know Ellie, it's easy...for you!) Science-- Elemental Science Physics History--homemade US history 2 Ice Skating Piano And lots of read alouds. So far I have scheduled Pinnocchio, The Wind in the Willows, The Princess and Curdie, the Secret Garden, Around the World in 80 Days, and The Little Prince. These are the ones we will discuss and linger on. There will be plenty more that we will read "unofficially." We'll also do art study, composer study and memory work, but I don't have those quite sorted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frequent field trips and park days Would like to find an opportunity for him to have conversational foreign language lessons (Japanese? Spanish?) from a native speaker but it's been We tend to do lots of informal art history, world geography, Draw Write Now books, games, chess, etc. Generally speaking we mostly just do formal 3 Rs and follow our own interests/rabbit trails for the rest.

WIS0320 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Plan A - Memoria Press 2nd Grade Package Follow along with big brother in SOTW and Science in a Nutshell kits/Living science books. I ordered the 2nd grade plans and may add in the memory work, recitations and copy work. We are already using Prima Latina and New American Cursive, using the MP second grade supplemental reading list and I am considering a switch to Rod and Staff math! Aside from Phonics Road 2 and our science and history we are mostly using MP core already! I'm seriously using their 3rd grade package and saving myself a lot of headaches for 2013-2014 and will just add some science and history as I feel necessary.
