After much discussion and going back and forth on our decision, we have decided to continue using Sonlight. We had thought about switching back to Heart of Dakota, but Samuel loves the Sonlight books and the science experiments so we are going to stick with it. For 2nd grade, we will be covering World History. We’ve already gotten our books and they all look like so much fun! Samuel is excited!
So here is a list of what we will be using:
Sonlight Core B – Intro to World History, part 1
Sonlight Language Arts 3 – included with this will be MCP Phonics, A Reason for Handwriting, and Wordly Wise vocabulary
Sonlight Science B – Samuel loves Sonlight science. He really enjoyed all the hands on activities and projects last year and is excited to see what he will get to do this year.
Teach Them Spanish 2 – I had planned on ordering La Clase Divertida for Spanish last year, but it never worked out. I found this series at our local school supply store and we have really enjoyed it. It’s not a complete language program, but it is at least introducing him to vocabulary. In a couple of years, we will add in Rosetta Stone Spanish.
Samuel will also be taking 3 classes at our co-op – American History, Science, and World Geography.
I’ve been getting everything ready, and we should be kicking off 2nd grade on July 16th. We are starting early so we will have plenty of time to take off as needed.

Sounds like a good line-up. We enjoyed our Sonlight years. Looking forward to reading more of Samuel's 2nd grade year =)
Looks like a wonderful line up. Enjoy your new school year.
So glad to hear that he likes the hands on approach to science. May this year, again, be one where you experience the joy of learning together [smile].
