Please share what you use for 2nd grade.

[hsing1]

I'm new to the classical style and would love to hear how it's implemented in real life.:)

Thanks!

[Trivium Academy]

Before we switched, items with * are ones we still use

Explorer's Bible Study*
First Language Lessons by Jessie Wise and S. Buffington
Poetry Memorization with The Harp and Laurel Wreath by Berquist*
The Story of the World Vol. 2, The Middle Ages
Spelling Workout C
Horizons Math*
WTM recommended science studies: our own Earth Science/Astronomy plans*
French
Piano and Themes to Remember*


In case you want to know, what we're now using what is in the signature line below

[Narrow Gate Academy]

Math: Singapore 2B / 3A and Miquon Green / Yellow (45-60 minutes daily)
Spelling: SWO C (finish) and D (15 min. for 3 days)
Grammar: FLL in a year (15 min. for 2 or 3 days)
Writing: Blank lined paper for copywork and learning cursive (10 min. daily)
Reading: assigned reading for 30 daily and 30 minutes of free reading
History; TruthQuest AHYS 2 and 3 with older sister (60 min. for 2 or 3 days)
Science: not decided - probably Apologia (60 min. for 2 days)
Critical Thinking: BTS 1, DooRiddles and MindBenders (15 min. for 2 days)
Music: piano lessons and Classical Kids (1 or 2 a month)
Art: undecided (once a week)

That's our plan so far. The math, LA, and critical thinking are the same as I used for my oldest last year. The rest differ simply because I combine the two girls in these areas. HTH

[Jennifer in NH]

We use Singapore MAth..started with 2a now she is beginnig 3a.
SOTW and the Activity guide for History. We make good use of the audio version of the book.
OPG for reading and Pathway readers
copywork, dictation
spelling will be done more when she is reading better
science was Astronomy this year, a unit that I put together.
we just started doing "Adventures in Art"

I just know I am forgetting something...I'll edit later when it comes back to me!;)

Ah yes, German: MUzzy!
FLL with a little schoolhouse rock thrown in!
we also play lots of games that go along with stuff they are learning. My kids LOVE math mazes!

[Ali in OR]

Math: Singapore 2A/2B with CWP, some of IP, supplement with Horizons 2A/2B (I cross out quite a bit)
Science: did Apologia Astronomy over summer, now Noeo chem I
History: Biblioplan Med, Ren, & Ref with SOTW 2 + AG
Latin: finished Prima Latina in fall, now Minimus
Spelling: SWO finished C, now on D
Handwriting: learning cursive with RFH Transition (will use next year too)
Copywork: mostly quotes from books we read (I use StartWrite, printing)
Grammar: FLL 2
Bible: Voyages 2nd grade
Music: piano practice daily, lessons weekly
Art: Artistic Pursuits books 1 and 2, kind of sporadic
PE: organized sports--gymnastics, swimming, softball
Spanish: I wish! Don't have a curriculum so it doesn't get done
Reading: nothing formal. Dd is a good reader and reads a lot on her own.

[KIN]

RightStart math level C, Singapore's Challenging Word Problems
Spell to Write and Read for phonics/spelling
Growing with Grammar
Daily copywork
Evan Moore Daily Geography
Biblioplan year 2 - history with living books and SOTW 2 as a spine
Apologia's Astronomy
CLP's 3rd grade Bible
He is reading through Memoria Press' Latin school's summer 3rd & 4th grade reading lists
Memory - Poetry (I have an old book that lists poems for each month per grade level for 1st-3rd grade), Bible verses
Prima Latina
Suzuki piano
Artistic Pursuits K-3 book 1, very occasionally!!

He narrates science and history to me and copies it for his notebook. We haven't done any "tests" except for end of the week spelling tests and a mid-year and end of the year math test. The younger boys participate in history, science, art and memory with the 2nd grader.

[kokotg]

Ds is doing this year:

First Language Lessons
Singapore 2a/b
SOTW 2
Space and Earth science lessons that I put together

I think that's mostly it for formal curriculum. He's an excellent natural speller and his writing is as good as mine, so we don't do formal spelling or handwriting; he does whatever copywork and dictation is in FLL, plus copywork from whatever chapter book we're reading once a week. I find history and science books that go along with what we're learning about for his independent reading (plus at least 25 minutes a day in free reading). We do art and Spanish with a group of other homeschoolers.

[Jenny in Atl]

For 2nd my dd 7 is using

Art and Music Appreciation
Classical Writing Aesops (we have stopped in favor of a journal and will restart next year)
Growing with Grammar 3
History Odyssey level 1 Ancient/Middle Ages
Lively Latin
My World Science/Plato's CyberEd Earth Scince
Recorder & Choir
Singapore Math 3a & b plus WP and CP
United Streaming Spanish, The Fun Spanish and RS Spanish
PE

[Rebecca]

I don't consider myself strictly classical- so I don't know if it will help but:

second grade this year:
Living Books Curriculum grade two (stopped in depth study of Ancient Egypt and went to using first half of MOH vol. one with added read alouds)
FLL 2
SM 1A/1B and Rod and Staff 2
Memoria Press Copybook 3

second grade next year:
Rod and Staff grammar 2 (this child is utterly sick of FLL from having listened to older brother for two years- knows all the poems by heart, etc.)
Memoria Press Copybook 3
SM 1A/1B
continue with phonics as necessary and use emerging reader pack with schedule/questions from Heart of Dakota
History/Science/Literature/Bible, etc. with older third grade brother

HTH,
Rebecca

[Mama Lynx]

We're doing 2nd grade in the fall:

First Language Lessons
Right Start B (and we'll probably move into C during the year).
Getty-Dubay Handwriting
Phonics Pathways for as long as it takes (he doesn't read fluently yet)
Literature: Fairy tales, Greek myths, Egyptian tales (mostly in the form of bedtime stories)

I don't really do formal science for that age. I don't know what we will do about history, yet - we'll either keep going with SOTW (we'd be on year 3 next year), or we'll switch to a different sequence and read more about Egypt.

[JudoMom]

HTH :001_smile:.

[strider]

My son is definitely workbook-oriented, so this is what works well for us:

Explode the Code
Spelling Work-Out
Sonlight Read-aloud list and other literature I choose
First Language Lessons (I used Sonlight with dd--we thought those worksheets would NEVER END and did not understand why the emphasis on finding homonyms every day.)

Math-U-See supplemented by various math games with dh

SOTW--Definitely our favorite.

Apologia elementary science--haven't decided which one yet. (With dd I used Sonlight science and liked it well enough. I prefer Apologia's immersion-in-one-thing approach though.)

Spanish--private tutor and some supplementation with Rosetta Stone

A Reason for Handwriting

[Soph the vet]

My ds7 is 2nd grade.
Saxon Math 2
Rod and Staff English 2
Spelling Workout C
Biblioplan 1600-1850 (incorporates SOTW 3)
God's Design for Chemistry
Family Devotions
Swimming
Hockey
Little League
Co-op classes and another weekly PE class
Loads of Lego time

[Closeacademy]

Having a great 2nd grade year here. I do short intense lesson Charlotte Mason style, use the Classical framework and use ideas form Waldorf for making our studies artistic and visual and Montessori for hands-on activities.

I've scheduled things in units this year and each day we do something different so every day is not the same but here is what we are doing/using.

Rhythmic Math Drill--we toss a ball back and forth and do addition, subtraction, multiplication or division facts. We usually do 2 rounds like 6 and 7 multiplication tables each day.

Math Exploration--We use manipulatives, stories and the Singapore Text to explore math topics. Right now we are doing a 2 step word problem each day.

Phonics--Monday and Wednesday I introduce a "new" phonogram (Spell to Write and Read). I usually have a silly sentence that demonstrates all the sounds of the phonogram with pictures. On Tuesday and Thursday we review phonograms and maybe make a chart for one of the phonograms that we did a few weeks ago.

Story--Monday is for an Aesop's Fable that uses 1 or both of this weeks phonograms in the title. Tuesday through Thursday is Story of the World 2 (we took a break for a while but are picking it up again).

Copywork--Monday and Wednesday she copies the silly sentence. The rest of the week she copies her composition from either the previous week or this week.

Form Drawing--A Waldorf idea of doing drawings that help you to focus. We only do this on Mondays and use a book by Donna Simmons of Christopherus House.

Composition--Tuesdays is when we compose a summary of the Aesop's fable told on Monday. Wednesday and Thursday she works on copying it in her own handwriting. We did illustrate a few of the earlier ones.

Singapore Math--She does 1 to 3 pages in her workbook.

Minimus--We do a bite-sized piece of Latin each day. We do a story, go over words or do a worksheet.

My Pals are Here Science--Again we do a bite-sized piece each day.

McCall-Harby Test Lessons in Reading--On Thursdays she does one story and answers the questions.

As we feel like it we do art. Generally it is in the Waldorf tradition of wet-on-wet watercolors, drawing with block crayons or playing with clay. Sometimes we do handwork. Right now she really likes needle-felting but we also have supplies for knitting and sewing.

I also have the Oak Meadow recorder books and the Bastien piano books when we feel like working on music.

At bedtime we read a variety of good books. Currently we are reading D'Aulaire biographies and Holling C. Holling's books. My youngest is really into the books about the American Girls. We try to have a variety that includes: science, math, history, silly stuff, good stuff, and fairy tales. I only read for about 30 minutes at bedtime but it is enough.

[camibami]

(We're not so strictly classical ed, and she's got a wide variety in her ability levels, so...)

Math: Saxon finish 2, start 3, and QMM

History: a combo of Sonlight's Core 2 and SOTW 4 (we do history together so we're on moderns next year) that is making crazy tryng to match up with older DD's Core 7!!

Spelling: SWO B

Handwriting: HWWT cursive book 1 (forget the name of it!)

Spanish: Rosetta Stone (she loves RS, and is far better with it than her big sis!) and Espanol Para Chicos y Grandes. Hopeful to find a Spanish class to put them in, but we're moving, so next year is a mystery for that)

Science: Noeo Chemistry II. Or Physics. They are still deciding which one they want to do- I'm letting them pick. We have the most success with following the girl's lead and interests with science!

LA: FLL, the 2nd grade portion. And continiung Phonics Pathways, because DD is still nto a great reader. We'll use SL's La too, for writing.

[Faithr]

Well, I just bought the Catholic Heritage Curriculum for 2nd grade. The lesson plans are all laid out. But I'll be shaping it into a Latin Centered Curriculum. So my plans are:

Latin - Latin for Children (she'll be listening in on her older brother)
Math - MCP Math
Language Arts - My First Catholic Speller; Language of God (grammar), A Reason for Writing for copywork/penmanship but if she wants to move into cursive, Writing Can Help, plus we do other copywork.

History - SOTW audio, plus other read alouds as we are so inclined. Also I have lots of American history easy readers, picture books I'm going to read chronologically
Science - co-op nature study
Geography - co-op cultural studies
Religion - Bible plus CHC religion curriculum
Art - I have a video program plus we do lots of coloring, etc on an informal basis.
She wants to try ballet next year, so if I can schedule in a little class, I'll try. She isn't clamoring for music lessons so we just listen to lots of music for now.

[Elm in NJ]

CLE maths 3( they love CLE and make the drills so competitive)
Rod and Staff English 2 ( have already, might as well use) or FLL2 ( have this also but they do NOT like it)
Beyond Little Hearts for his Glory
Rod and Staff phonics and reading 2 ( I already have these, so I might as well use them)
They also do French and Spanish 4 days a week(Elementary spanish and Ecoutez Parlez with a few other odds and ends)
And I just might add some extra science ( kits and fun stuff) since they love science a couple of days a week.
They also do an additional arts and music program on Fridays and do logic and geography also on Fridays.
This is the simplified version of my schedule.. I also have an "In Your Dreams " schedule which includes the above plus Apologia Astronomy and Latin and SWB's new writing program but which isn't going to happen this year .
