✨ Please note: This curriculum is a living resource. While it is complete and ready to use, we continue to fine-tune and enhance lessons as families bring them to life in their homes.

You will receive 12 full weeks of Autumn lessons. This is the beginning semester of the Second Grade Curriculum. Each week is thoughtfully designed, organized, and ready for you.

Everything is planned out for you with a supply list ahead of each week (most simple items found in your own home) as well as a recommended book list. Each week is packed with content that you can use for many years to come and weave into other age ranges, so please do NOT feel like you have to do everything. There is so much to explore! These lessons have been created specifically with homeschoolers who teach multiple ages in mind and weave in nicely with the Little Acorn Learning First Grade Program. Many of the lessons expand beyond the second grade year and can be used with many grades with slight alterations.

Each weekly book provides lessons for language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, nature exploration, body and movement, songs, poems, verses, caregiver meditations, domestic arts skills, knitting and crochet, form drawing, handwork, and artistic activities. The children continue with domestic arts as a lesson each week such as preparing meals, household care, and other practical life skills.

Our program continues to keep the homeschooler in mind with caregiver meditations, caregiver focus suggestions, as well as domestic and home support. We have created this as much for you as we have for your children.

Based on weekly themes, the story, form drawing, and number work of the week will take your child on a deeper adventure of exploration, magic, and a true love for learning.
