We'll be working with Horizons Spelling and Vocabulary, Grade 2 from Alpha Omega Publications. I took the workbooks to Office Depot and got them spiral-bound for just under $10. It's another expense, but I figure it'll make using the books so much easier. I really like how they turned out. The dictionary that comes with the program defines each word and often includes a small picture. It's a nice little book and matches the set. |
A sample page from the speller. We'll also be practicing our words on the BigIQ Kids website. |
We'll also be finishing our Grade 2 English curriculum from BJU Press and beginning Grade 3 sometime in the fall. There are plenty of grade 3 samples at this link. I find them to be very friendly, if sometimes a bit difficult for little people. Much of the third grade is a review of the second, which is fine because a LOT of material is covered in the second grade. We'll also be writing in our journals occasionally so that we can hone our writing skills. |
The books turned out nicely, even though I'm not a fan of spirals, they annoy me when writing on a left-side page. I should do something about my vocabulary, I think I don't know enough words.
ReplyDeleteThe middle bit of the workbook is very hard to write in otherwise, especially after the first few pages. I was either going to do this or tear out pages.
DeleteOh, spiral bound! What a good idea! I should do that.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. And blog it! We missed you!
