For parents of first graders who are wondering what their child will be learning next year in second grade.. Here it is. We have a teacher ready to love on your children. If you haven't heard yet we are keeping 2nd grade out of the rotation. From now on k-2 will have their own teacher and 3-8 will be in the rotation.
We will be doing Apologia Zoology 2 swimming creatures in the second grade class. It is my understanding that the second grade will always do Zoology 2 and then when they move to the rotation they will be doing whatever the science is for that year.
The other main enrichment will be Expedition Earth. It is a very neat curriculum from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com. There is enough to do this 5 days a week which we obviously won't be doing so Mrs. Catlett will keep you informed on what is being covered in case you want to follow along at home. It is only $15 if you want to download it. ** Expedition Earth could easily go along with My Fathers World Exploring Countries and Cultures. I know some of you use MFW as your at home curriculum so if you wanted to do Countries and Cultures next year in their second grade year it should go along well with it. Of course just a suggestion of something to think about.
They will continue with all the specials:art, pe, music, sign language and will be doing writing, public speaking, math enrichment, reading comprehension as time allows.
We just wanted to inform you all as you are thinking about next years curriculum or even browsing if you are going to the conference.
