Your job as a parent is not primarily to keep your child "happy," but rather to train him up to be a responsible adult. One way to begin to accomplish this goal is to give your children responsibilities around the house. Doing chores and getting paid for a job well done, helps the child to make the connection between working hard and making money. Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Jr. is a great resource for helping you to do this.

The Second Grade Main schedule maps out daily readings from the Old Testament, giving your child a great overview of Old Testament history. Choose the Bible you think most appropriate for your child. The Bible memory verses are taken from the Wise Words for Moms booklet. Use the Tracking Your Walk Journal to write summaries of the Bible stories, memory verses, and prayer requests throughout the year.

Saxon math is an excellent "scripted" math program, that is very easy to teach, even for the math phobics out there. We recommend you use Saxon 3 for second grade. Saxon 2 is more of a first grade math program. If you are unsure if your child is ready have him take a placement test. Make sure to purchase the Teacher's Manual, Workbooks, Fact Cards, and Math Manipulatives.

Our first choice for music is the Suzuki method of learning an instrument. But if your budget is tight, or you or your child do not have the time or desire to commit to formal music lessons, The First Book of the Recorder is a great alternative. This book has short lessons that teach the basics of holding a recorder and beginning to read music.
