Spelling homework for 2nd graders begins next week

Second grade is a wonderful year!  Second graders mature over the summer and are much more independent than in first and are a lot of fun.  Many concepts taught in first grade are reviewed, but it is challenging enough to keep students interested.  Our reading program is very strong in phonics and our spelling lists are based on the phonics rules making the words easier to master.  The children also participate in daily reading groups.  Our math curriculum emphasizes addition & subtraction facts through 18; reviews carrying; and introduces borrowing.  Multiplication and division are introduced later in the year.  In writing, we review the entire cursive alphabet at a slow enough pace that a new student will master it.  The bulk of our curriculum comes from A Beka, but our Bible curriculum comes from Bob Jones with an emphasis on the Old Testament. 

Second grade is always a lot of fun as we learn to interact with each other and enjoy all the experiences that God provides for us throughout the year.  Field trips, parties, chapels and special events always add so much to our year.
