Second Grade Curriculum

Second Grade Homeschool Curriculum

Laying the Foundations of Grammar and Composition

 

Second Grade Home School Curriculum

Our Second Grade homeschool curriculum fully immerses your child in the world of independent reading.

Using phonics storybooks and our new reading anthologies, you can help your child reinforce word analysis techniques and develop comprehension skills.

Grammar and Creative Writing with Calvert Writer


Simultaneously, your child begins writing dictated words and sentences, learning the rules of punctuation and expressing his or her own ideas in original compositions. The new Calvert Writer with Spelling, with updated lessons, integrates spelling with reading and encourages students to write creative original pieces.

Real-world Mathematics and Integrated Technology Skills

Calvert is excited to offer a new math course using the world-renowned Singapore method. The Math Manual is based on Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Math in Focus: Singapore Math textbook. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, problem solving, and skills fluency. Your child will focus on fewer concepts that are taught to mastery, thereby eliminating the need to reteach concepts year after year.

Your child’s integrated curriculum includes technology lessons in typing, spreadsheets, and Internet skills such as e-mail.

In science, there are units on heat, light, forces, properties of rocks, and the heart and lungs. Social studies topics include old-world figures, geography, and maps.

I'd heard about Calvert from several, very devoted and competant, home schooling moms, so I decided to check it our for myself and was very impressed.

I was very nervous about home schooling my two sons, 2nd and 6th, but with the daily lesson plans, materials, and educational support, I was able to properly educate them at home. Again,the user friendly daily lessons and educatinal counselors gave me a great foundation and support system to work with.

I'm using Calvert again this year.

My son and I enjoyed using Calvert these past 2 years. I especially am happy with the extra online courses that Calvert is now offering. My son loves using the computer. It helps him to understand the concepts better, and it is fun. I like how each lesson is spelled out. This way my time can be better used for other things in life.

Ida loved the freedom of learning at home and beeing able to play lots of hours and also getting some good study time in!
Calverts books just leads You from one subject to another with such ease and its wonderful to follow along these books. They are colorful and are fun to read for all.
This next year we are adding on the ATS service to have Ida feel a little more special that a teacher , besides Mamma and Big Sister, is checking on her schoolwork and to give her grades. She is actually excited about it!
My 6th grader received a wonderful diploma of completion(from the ATS) which I think is a good piece of paper to have for future!
We are all ready for a 3rd and 7th grade Calvert school year to begin and the best part, They are actually excited about it !

Dear Calvert,

Every year I research other curriculums. Each year I come back to Calvert because it is the most well rounded. I have a 5th, 3rd, and 2nd grader this year and have used your courses for each since pre-school.I think you do a terrific job! But for the price I do not think you should have cut back on supplies this year or youshould have mentioned the things that are normally packed would not be.

Thank You,
L. Wapstra

Calvert's Second Grade Course provided a much needed sense of relief for a nervous new homeschooling mom! This course was extremely enjoyable and took the stress out of homeschooling. The lessons were very thorough and also provided many opportunities to have fun with it all. The course has changed a bit since I completed it with both of my children, but if I had another Second Grader to homeschool, I'd do it all again with Calvert! Calvert school has given my children an excellent start to their ongoing education.
