We begin to be a bit more formal by 2nd Grade. For our schedule, see the file on the side. Booklist: History Famous Men of Greece (Used 2x a week for first 1/2 yr) Famous Men of Rome (Used 2x a week till end of year) I still prefer to have them draw as a form of narration at this age, so we draw one lesson and narrate orally the next. Geography (In this, we prefer to color and trace maps of places we read of- 1x a week.) Language Arts (This still primarily comprises reading instruction at this age.) Copywork 3x a week- a very short sentence each time. Literature (Read Alouds) Peter Pan series Mr Popper's Penguins Mary Poppins series Seabird by Holling C Holling Other reading as desired Math First Lessons in Arithmetic (This book will be finished either this year or next. Continue to take it at a slow pace to ensure mastery.) Science Nature Study at least 2x a week The Burgess Animal Book (2x a week) |
