happyhomemaker Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 My second grader is doing: Spelling- SWR Writing- WWE 2 plus additional copywork and original sentences in history and science Grammar- FLL 2 (I am in the minority of people who hate this. We are still doing it some, but I mainly go over copywork sentences and we parse them together. Ds loves this for some reason.) Literature- Ds reads to me from books I select for about 20 min a day. We discuss, talk about characters and what we think will happen, etc. He also has about 30 min of free reading at night where he can read whatever he wants.

poiema Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 LLATL yellow and lots of reading. We sometimes do extra stuff like FLL or daily language review, but then I realize it's all already in LLATL. ETA: Now we are doing FLL, WWE and ETC. It's amazing how quickly plans can change. I was actually searching for 2nd grade plans and I didn't even realize I posted here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading of her choice--currently working her way through the American Girl series. I am not doing grammar now, since Latin, SWR and WWE contain so much already.

serendipitous journey Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ours is ever-evolving. It is: spelling (Evan-Moor) handwriting (Zaner-Bloser, alternate days cursive & manuscript) writing (Winning with Writing) Grammar is hazy at the moment. I'm trying to decide whether to initiate our Full Michael Clay Thompson Sequence now (sometime in February) or hold off until next fall. We tried FLL2 but the first lesson on grammar of poetry was that every line begins with a capital letter, and I cannot tell you how many buttons that pushed for me & so I dropped the program (I know it would have been better to just teach the lessons that didn't bug me, but I am a work in progress :) ). Button was totally bored with Growing with Grammar. Writing could be boosted now, and I'm hoping to start IEW's program in March (when it arrives -- we're purchasing through a charter school) or in the fall. We do narration from a few sources, including SOTW. We read poetry daily at afternoon snack. We read from a variety of sources. At the moment Button's independent reading is pretty much Droon books (ie, utter twaddle but this has my reading-averse son reading regularly) and SOTW (along with the audiobook). Also Scholastic News for 3rd graders. This week I'm adding science reading, and will incorporate some required reading from Magic Treehouse series as well as some books from the ATA list.

LOL. It is all him--he loves writing. He is still looking for contributors to his newsletter. Maybe I will suggest he open it up to the general populace at large (meaning the WTM community) and make it a "Second Grade Newsletter".

Karen in CO Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 My second grader reads daily to me at an ever-increasing amount - right now it is only 8 pages of a chapter book at a time before her eyes get tired, but this is a great improvement. She writes about 4 sentences most days with proper spelling and grammar and lovely handwriting. It is usally copywork and typically illustrated. She narrates something that was read to her. She is working her way through the IEW poetry memorization program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Reading: independently, 30+minutes a day. I pick from Veritas, Sonlight, AO and other lists. I have her read aloud to me once a week or so. Current book: Understood Betsy All About Spelling 3: We're halfway through. 15-20 minutes 3x a week. DD is good speller. Writing With Ease 2: 10-20 minutes 3 or 4x a week. DD tends to narrate CM style and WWE helps her to think about what is important and not just retell the whole story. First Language Lessons 2: 5-10 minutes 3x a week. New American Cursive DD practices narration and copywork in other disciplines too, especially history.
