Update 2 of 3: 2nd Grade & Pre-K

Colton is SO excited to be in 2nd grade. Here is a look at what we will be studying this year.

• DiscipleLand 2 (All about the Bible...who wrote it, where did it come from, how do we use it...)
• Math-U-See: Gamma (starts with multiplication, and he is LOVING it!)
• Exploring Creation with Astronomy (already learned the planets in order as well as the names Copernicus and Galileo)
• The Story of the World: The Middle Ages (Even Eli enjoyed the Beowulf excerpt this week.)
• First Language Lessons 2 (grammar) (learned the being verbs this week)
• The Complete Writer 2 (copywork, narration (summarizing), and dictation)
• A Reason for Handwriting (handwriting practice...duh! He likes copying the Bible verses.)
• Building Spelling Skills
• The Learnables and Basic Structures: Spanish 2
• A Beka Health 2
• piano

I'm still trying to get Eli officially "excited" about pre-K. I'm only doing 2 subjects with him, even though he sometimes listens in on Colton's lessons. The plan is to do reading lessons on MWF and DiscipleLand (Old Testament stories) on TT. If we happen not to get to his schoolwork one day, though, we can easily do both subjects the next day.
