I'm participating in this year's Not Back to School Blog Hop at Heart of the Matter and the first week's post is on our curriculum selections for this school year. It's funny that, for months, I thought I had everything all picked out and most of it purchased. Just as I was about to write my post for this blog hop on Monday, I realized why I hadn't purchased some things yet...I wasn't really feeling them like I thought. The stuff I was sure about, I bought without hesitation. I can't believe I listened to my instincts for a change. We're excited about "2nd grade" and here's what we'll be doing this year...
Language Arts: Growing With Grammar, Soaring With Spelling and Vocabulary, Writing With Ease, Primary Analogies I, lots of living books and poetry (Langston Hughes and Issa)
Math: Math Mammoth
Science: R.E.A.L Science Odyssey - Earth & Space, Nature Study
History: History Odyssey, Story of the World (Middle Ages)
Bible/ Character Study: memory verses & discussing bible stories, Character Building Day by Day
Fine Arts: Draw Write Now, Artist Studies, Music Studies (classical and jazz)
Extras: Karate, bowling (maybe), piano (hopefully)
