Second-Grade Curriculum

July 31, 2017 0 Comments

For our first couple of years homeschooling, Sonlight worked great for the most part. Everything we needed was already figured out and sent all together along with lesson plans. However, the History overall did not keep Sera's attention enough. I am now confident enough to change things up a bit and write my own lesson plans. It is now time to piece together a different curriculum based on what we have learned about Sera's interests and learning style.



Below you will find our choices listed and linked:

Customized Second-Grade Curriculum
God and Me! 2 Devotions for Girls (Ages 2-5)
Horizons Math 2 
Spelling You See "Jack and Jill"
Using the Standards Building Grammar & Writing Skills Grade 2
Handwriting Without Tears Printing Power (includes Kick Start Cursive)
Our America Grade 2 History/Geography (A Beka Book)
America's 50 States: Maps, Flags, Dates, and Fun Facts
Enjoying God's World Science Reader (A Beka Book)


For her reading, we plan to utilize our library membership. We can also check out books to expand on subjects that are of special interest to her.  😊  Click HERE to see what we are reading currently, as well as a list of our "Favorite Kids' Books"

We found most of our curriculum at our annual local curriculum fair. It was a great opportunity to really look at our options, attend some workshops, and get some pretty good discounts. 

Excited for Second Grade!!!

First-Grade Curriculum

July 28, 2016 0 Comments
For our first year homeschooling [kindergarten] we tried out Sonlight's full-grade package. This worked well for us and was a great choice for our family as we are learning how to put together lesson plans, and as we figure out the learning style of our daughter. If you are interested to see what was included in our kindergarten curriculum, CLICK HERE

This year we are going to try Sonlight again, though next year we may begin to branch out a little and either modify Sonlight's suggestions, or we may just put together a different curriculum depending upon the evolution of our daughter's interests.

Kindergarten Curriculum

July 28, 2015 0 Comments

I was excited to start officially homeschooling, but I will admit, I was a bit intimidated. I needed to pick out a curriculum. And I wasn't sure where to start with putting together an official, all-subject lesson plan.

After extensive research, I found Sonlight. They offer complete grade packages with lesson plans. This seemed like the perfect solution for our family, at least for now as we learn how to build our lesson plans. So this is what we are using for our first year homeschooling.
