HomesteadMommy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I'm starting to plan my oldest 2nd grade year. She turns 7 this spring and is reading well about a 4th grade level. We've been using FIAR, SOTW 1, FLL, MUS Beta, with readers and Canadian geography. So what did you love for 2nd grade? We've really been enjoying FIAR so might continue with that program or alternate it with something else...There are just to many interesting programs to pick from. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 You can see in my signature what we are using this year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveBaby Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 We are using MFW Adventures for bible, history and science. R&S for math. I'm using R&S for reading and phonics as well, but my DD is doing so well I think I'll drop the reading. I started with R&S for English but it brought tears to everyone (including me!) so we went to PLL and I *love* it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchel210 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 We used SL 1, la2 int, tons of extra library books, abeka math 3, abeka writing, abeka grammar 3, mind benders, sl science 1, and religion. My dd is reading way above level, but she likes the SL books. The writing instruction is wonderful and her writing took off with the SL la. Now I just supplement with tons of library books.

FriedClams Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Our current 2nd Grade - and not everything every day! LOL! Daily - or nearly so - * First Language Lessons 2 * Horizons Math 2, then 3 * Las Clase Divertida - Spanish * Piano - practice and lesson once a week * Rod and Staff Bible 2 ( about 2/3 of the "after" section in the workbook) * Rod and Staff Spelling 2 * Voyages in English 2 - page or so a day but not the writing parts - just grammar drill. * Writing With Ease - day or 2 a day depending on writing workload. * Handwriting - learning cursive with CLP 2 handwriting. * Reading - assigned and just for fun, plus family read alouds... Couple of times a week - * Story of the World 1with read alouds as needed, or as I have on hand, or as I feel like it! * Proverbs People and Keepers of the Faith character studies. I hope to make this daily in the new year! When I get to them - * Rod and Staff Science 2 (I'm being honest here! We will finish the book this year and we do a lot of additional reading in science, and hands on stuff, I am just rotten about plodding through the book!) * Alteir Art - I sprint here. We'll do 3 or 4 session before we get back to our regular schedule in January, then it'll sit for a while. Weekly Memory Work - * AWANA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gratefulmother Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I don't remember all that my signature SAYS we do, but here is what we really do: Science, History, Spanish, Creative Writing, Art - 2 day a week coop Math - Rightstart B, Singapore 2A for extra practice A Reason for Handwriting Transition (starting cursive after Christmas) Rod and Staff Grade 2 I have chosen different books for her to read independently. I think after Christmas we are going to use some of the book guides that Veritas has. Lots of read alouds I wish we had time for more nature study and to do more science in addition to the coop.

Homemama2 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'm planning 2nd for next year for my oldest too. Here's what I know for right now... Continue with Abeka phonics. Also reading from McGuffey readers, CLP Nature Reader 2 FIAR vol 1 and 2-to go along with GTG (doing with my Ker) Galloping the Globe Rightstart math C ?? (I'm not sure if I'll use this alone, supplement with something else or go with something else entirely.) Supplementing whatever math I go with: CWP2 from singapore Readalouds from Ambleside online year 2. (this includes science, history and lit.) HWT cursive (my lefty boy wants to learn cursive! :lol: I feel like telling him he hasn't learned printing yet...but I will buy this and see how it goes.) Song School Latin Also considering WWE 2. This looks great...not sure if I'll have the $$ though. That's the plan "for now". Of course after reading this thread that might change! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna A. Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 My oldest did the ACE paces in 2nd grade, but I can't say that either one of us loved it. :glare: That was the year I had a new baby and struggled badly with PPD. My next dd did MFW Adventures, Saxon math, and alternated FLL and PLL for 2nd grade. That was a GREAT year. :thumbup: (*I* didn't love the Saxon math, but she did. We switched to Singapore shortly afterward.) I'll likely do the same with my 3rd dd, except that instead of the full Adventures program, she'll do the Adventures supplemental part of MFW 1850-Modern which her big sister will be doing at that time.
