Homeschool Curriculum

http://www.catholicvote.org/discuss/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/homeschooling.jpg

When we decided to look at homeschooling as an alternative for our two year old, we had no idea where to begin. We knew that a learning environment outside of the public school institutional system had to be better, mostly because it can't be much worse. There are an abundance of resources out there, and numerous avenues that parent-teachers can take in assisting their children's education. Here is one resource for second graders with some helpful information on choosing a curriculum.
Homeschooling doesn't have to be expensive. Here is a list of resources for 2nd grade homeschool that are low cost or free. I've tried to provide a variety of activities and resources to choose from. The most important thing to remember about 2nd grade homeschool, is to keep it fun and to help your child to want to learn.
This page is meant to be a supplement to 2nd grade curriculum, not a replacement for a homeschool curriculum. Please keep in mind that children learn at different levels and some of the sources here are meant for multiple age groups. I highly recommend if you do not find what you are looking for, to look through the other grades especially the one lower or the one higher to see if they have a resource that you can use. You can find the other grades listed down below. Many of these resources could also be used by classroom teachers. They are not exclusive to homeschoolers and I welcome you to this page. :)

What I have learned so far is that every child is different, and no one curriculum is perfect for all children. Everyone learns at different paces, just as everyone has varying strengths and weaknesses. The key is trial and error, testing to see what fits and what does not, and remembering that learning is a lifelong process, not something that can be easily categorized, analyzed, or managed.
