Evaluation of Second Grade, Set One

• Bible -- K. did very well memorizing the Ten Commandments. A funny thing is that the children were memorizing them in Sunday School at the same time. She is enjoying singing the hymns and listening to the books. Our study on wisdom is going much better than I expected.
• Math -- K. is doing well with her math facts. We are having fun learning with games and activities.
• Grammar -- I am pleased with K.'s grasp of the concepts. She seems to really remember them.
• Spelling -- so far this is a really easy subject for K. Because she has been writing on her own for a few years, she has learned how to spell most of the words in her spelling lessons.
• Reading -- We really enjoyed the book. It was a good introduction for our history studies this year. The comprehension activities were a lot of fun.
• Writing -- I'm not sure we will be using The Magic Pencil very much. She does not seem excited about the projects. We still enjoy the activities in Games for Writing.
• History -- sometimes I'm not sure if K. is paying attention to what I'm reading to her, but when I ask her questions, she can talk about the events of the book with me.
• Science -- experiments are a big hit. This is going to be a fun year!
• Fine Arts -- we got off to a good start with three aspects: sewing, crocheting, and piano. The museum we visited was a big disappointment, so I have requested some books from the library to use and we are keeping our eyes open when we go other places. For instance, there were some paintings on display at the library, so we were able to talk about which was a still life and which was a landscape.
