Malachi’s plunging full force into second grade. Even though he’s taught himself to read, he still is about age level for comprehension. So, his curriculum this year looks like this:
- Language Lessons for a Living Education Level 2-We started this about halfway through the school year last year when I realized that the first level of Language Arts from Master Books was a little too boring for him. So, we’re finishing this one up and will head into level 3 when he’s ready. I like the gentle approach to introducing grammar.
- Math Lessons for a Living Education Level 2-Again, a nice gentle approach to math which is a bit of a change for what we have used in the past.
- Vocabulary/Spelling City-We used to use this when it was free but they have revamped the site and I like the age appropriate practice it gives the kids in either spelling or vocabulary.
- Xtra Math-I can not stress how important it is for kids to get their basic math facts down. Xtra math is a great FREE resource to do just that.
- Write Shop Primary B-One of my friend’s was asking about this curriculum last spring and I was intrigued. I have been looking for a fun way to introduce writing to the younger kids. So, this year is another trial run for this. Silas and Bryant will be doing this along with Malachi.
- Easy Peasy Reading Grade 2-Bryant did a trial run with grade 3 last year and I really liked it. It’s not as intensive and workbook driven as what we’ve used in the past but it does introduce great books and stories with comprehension building questions.
Here’s what we’re using for the other grades:
- Everyone
- Kindergarten
- 4th Grade
- 5th Grade (with special needs modifications)
- 7th Grade
- 8th Grade
- 10th Grade
- 11th Grade
