Our 2nd grade curriculum

I thought I'd share what we have picked out for the coming homeschool year (2nd grade)! Click on the pictures of the books for more information.

Bible: daily Bible readings and Sally Michael's God's Names, Promises and Providence. Extras are God Made All Things (memorizing Bible verses) and God's Amazing Creatures & Me (devotional)

  

 

  

 

English: Christian Light Publications and Pentime for extra handwriting practice.

 

  

Math:  Teaching Textbooks 3 and supplement with Life of Fred

 

 

Science: ACSI Purposeful Design Science 1 + 2, Cool Science Experiments (we will try to find one with the subjects that we study, about once a week) and Christian Liberty Nature Readers for additional reading and learning about animals.

 

 

 

History: Christian Liberty Press' Our Nation Under God, American Pioneers and Patriots and History Stories for Children.

   

Geography: Understanding Geography 3 + 4, Geography from A to Z and Children Just Like Me. 

 

 

 

We will start second grade in a couple of months, I can't wait! I'm most excited about Science and Geography. Let's hope Gabriel is as excited as I am ;)

Spring Pictures

Saturday the 13th was another one of my girls' days out with my friend Rachel, who took me out for my birthday (which is next week). I just had to share this picture of this beautiful strawberry shortcake from Jason's Deli! We also spent the usual 4+ hours at Mardel ;)

 Some new chickies...bantams this time (which means they're extra small!).

 

  This one looks like Buddy! We named him Billy (short for 'silly Billy', because he is very silly ;) ).

 "Look Mommy, I found something adorable!" 3 toads in a box full of grass...

  The slide is way more fun like this!

The yard is looking pretty, Spring is finally here!

 Fluffy chicken...

 Fun on the seesaw!

Coming home last Thursday...he wanted to walk up to the house!

 And an attempt at taking some 'nice pictures'...I actually managed to get some normal ones after promising him 30 minutes of playtime before homeschool ;)

 His new bug catcher!

 Of course every other picture looked like this...
