I'm finally motivated to start getting my second-grader's curriculum together. Like last year, I'm just going to piece it together by picking and choosing after my research. What subjects do you guys cover for second grade? I always try to cover all of them, whether it's taking field trips for science activities, taking an art class, etc. We don't have a regimented schedule, but I do mix book work along with a more free-flowing learning approach as well.
I'm getting stumped, however, on a few things:
Here's what we have so far:
1. Language arts (Sing, Spell, Read and Write) - covers spelling, reading, grammar and comprehension, with a supplemental writing program (Daily Trait Writing) and supplemental language arts (Language Smarts)
2. Core math program (Right Start) along with supplementals (Life of Fred and Mathematical Reasoning)
3. History (Story of the World Volume I)
4. Geography (Daily Geography)
5. Science (interactive science) and weekly co-op class
Am I missing anything? Does it look like I'm covering pretty well all the bases?
We aren't crazy about Story of the World, Interactive Science, and our geography first grade book is almost done and although I liked it, I'm open to other suggestions. Also, I'd like a good social studies program if anyone has suggestions.
There's so much out there it becomes overwhelming!
