Laying the Foundations of Grammar, Composition, Math and Science
Our 2nd Grade homeschool curriculum fully immerses your child into the world of independent reading. Using our delightful phonics storybooks and reading anthologies, your child will develop strong reading comprehension skills to last a lifetime. Simultaneously, spelling practice, word and sentence dictation, and the rules of punctuation will help prepare your child to express his or her ideas in original composition pieces.
Two different math options are available with our 2nd Grade curriculum: 1) Calvert Math, a traditional math program where students perform complex addition and subtraction, manipulate and measure geometric figures, develop skills with money and measurement, represent data, and work with numbers up to 1000 or 2) Math in Focus, a new, modernized math approach where students perform complex addition and subtraction, are introduced to multiplication and division, work with numbers up to 1000, manipulate and measure geometric figures, and develop skills with money and measurement.
In addition, you and your child will explore the world of Science as you perform hands-on activities and investigate units on heat, light, rock properties, the human heart, and more. Travel through time and around the world with our Social Studies topics as you learn about old-world figures, geography, and maps. As with all Calvert programs, our 2nd Grade curriculum integrates technology lessons into daily activities and assignments.
