Curriculum, 2nd Grade

I will be revising this list as we go along...

Bible
Calvary Chapel Curriculum

Language Arts
Primary Language Lessons
McGuffey's First Eclectic Reader
Word Mastery
A Child's Garden of Verses
HWOT Cursive
Literature (also see history)
Narration, copywork, dictation, and poetry memorization will be used as well
I'm also using the Scott Foresman Grammar and Writing Handbook very loosely, mostly as a reference (my kids take state testing each year, so this will help Almond feel more confident and prepared)

Various historical readers and biographies
(List will be added to as we complete books)
DK Readers: Days of the Knights -- A Tale of Castles and Battles
DK Ultimate Sticker Book Castle & Knight
Door in the Wall, Marguerite De Angeli
A Medieval Feast, Aliki

Science/Nature
"Captivating Chemistry" taken at a co-op, along with a book I found at a thrift shop for $1.00! It's a great introduction to the scientific method and loads of fun!

Burgess Animal Book

Music/Arts
"Sing and Sign Language" taken at a co-op
Artistic Pursuits
