Math: Math-U-See Beta Universal Set (use the placement tool to decide which one your child is ready for). As some bonus activities, we will also use games from the Osmo Genius Kit to continue to practice and reinforce math concepts. Games like Numbers, Tangrams (both in the Genius Kit), and Pizza Co are some of my favorites.
Science: Adventures in the Physical World: Level 2 from MasterBooks. Since I taught science, I added in some of my favorite videos that correspond with the topics covered from Magic School Bus & Bill Nye the Science Guy. These video suggestions are all included in the Second Grade Weekly Lesson Schedule.
Social Studies/Language Arts: The really fun part of Second Grade Social Studies, is it corresponds perfectly with the literature from the Language Arts curriculum! I love the vocabulary and discussion/comprehension questions for the novels. We will be reading the following books:
Handwriting:The Good and the Beautiful Handwriting Level 4. I love how it reviews proper print formation AND introduces cursive writing. It also has more activities than just writing, so I know it will be fun for Jeremiah to work on!

Math: Math-U-See Primer Universal Set (use the placement tool to decide which one your child is ready for). This math curriculum was recommended to me by a veteran homeschool mom of five kids. She’s also tried quite a few other curriculums, and this has been the one they’ve liked the best. It comes with video lessons (yay for having a teacher explain math!) as well as a manipulative set. After looking at it, it seemed like the best fit for Evelyn, who is definitely a very visual, hands-on learner!
Reading/Phonics: First Start Reading: Phonics, Reading & Printing. This is a FABULOUS curriculum to teach children how to read, and I love how simple it is to get kids reading using letter sounds. The teacher’s guide tells you exactly what to say to teach your child the letter sounds and blends covered. It lays a great foundation, and also includes writing, so your child can practice their handwriting as well. I couldn’t believe how quickly Evelyn picked up reading simple words, and it was exciting for both of us! I also added in BOB books for extra reading practice.

Literacy: Even though this is a preschool curriculum, I’ve decided to use the 5 Year ABCJesusLovesMe curriculum to guide our literacy activities. It has a book of the week and various activities to go with it. The curriculum also has songs, art, science, and more, so it’s a wonderful way to round out homeschooling. There is a free version you can use online. I may add on the Bible lessons and memory verses from the curriculum as well, if I feel like we have time in the day for it!
Science/Social Studies: 5 Year ABCJesusLovesMe curriculum covers these basic skills as well. You can also sign your kids up for science lessons at a local science museum, or join a homeschool co-op that covers these topics. Since I have two kids I’ll be homeschooling, I’ll have Evelyn and Jeremiah do the same lessons (his second grade curriculum) to keep things simple.
Music/Art/PE: For music and art, I’m enrolling my kids in music and art lessons at a local private classical school. They will meet twice a month, and will get the chance to have a performance once each semester. This is really exciting for Evelyn, since she has her heart set on performing on stage. I’m also teaching my kids piano lessons, which is another wonderful way to have music be a part of school. For PE, the kids will be playing soccer in our community rec program. If you’re needing to find other resources, check with your local homeschool group…there is likely a co-op you can join that would cover these topics!
Social/Emotional Skills: This is REALLY important for me, and probably the most challenging aspect of homeschooling. I make sure to be intentional about giving my kids opportunities for unstructured play time with other children each week, if possible. They may be the same age, or a range of ages, but unstructured play is so important for helping kids learn how to cooperate, problem solve, and get along! Other ways I’m going to give my kids opportunities to grow in this is by having them participate in our church’s AWANA program and attend Sunday School. These are great places to be intentional about giving my kids the chance to learn and grow socially as well.
