We began with an "All About Me" handout, took our pictures for the first day of school, and slipped right into spelling. This year we decided to go with "All About Spelling." Last year was like pulling teeth to do any spelling.
Reading was next. Always an easy subject for us. Second grade will include two different workbooks with short stories followed by a question/answer page to determine her comprehension. I am really looking forward to our new "Tea On Tuesdays" curriculum that I put together in a PowerPoint presentation. We will be studying poetry and manners on that day.
Today, we did a science experiment from "The Magic School Bus." Lots of fun seeing what would float and what would sink. Tomorrow we'll switch to Social Studies. I also put together lesson plans for this subject.
Then we were off to work on math. Once again, we are using Math Mammoth. She learned so much from it last year. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to do math. She can do it and once she fully understands the concept, she enjoys it. The problem is that so much comes to her easily that when she faces a challenge, she doesn't know what to do. We will be working on this issue throughout the school year.
I'm really looking forward to this school year. Less stress, more confidence.
Here are a few more pictures of our little schoolroom:
