We also finish our bible segment with a our thankful books. This is where we think about what we are thankful for that day and either write about it and or draw a picture. I started this because a friend said a quote that has just stuck with me since...it said "What if you woke up today with the only things you thanked God for yesterday?" and that is one quality I hope to instill in my children is to be thankful.

~Spelling
All about spelling level 2 again we did it last year but slacked quite a bit and it showed on his year end testing so we will be focusing on spelling this year!!
~Readers
We use the Sonlight second grade readers list
~Science
We'll be finishing R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey: Life Science Level 1 and move on to level two...We love this wonderful program (but it is a subject I slacked on toward the end of the school year last year when my mama belly was growing and growing..lol)
 ~History
We do the Story of the world we use the audio books and the activity books to go along with it.
I also found this wonderful mama's blog that has lapbook printouts to go along with each chapter which i was going to add to our history just because we can't get enough Story of the world!!
~Chapter books read aloud
We follow an older grade 3 Sonlight read aloud book list which has a few different books...here is the current one...I just try to buy most of my school books used otherwise it would get to expensive.
~Math
We'll be starting Teaching textbooks this year I was on the fence about math this year because I fell in love with Rod and Staff so I bought their third grade curriculum as well (it's cheap enough) I figured I could supplement or switch back if we don't like T.T.
~ English
  finishing Grade 2 English "Preparing to Build" Set which is put out by Rod and Staff. I love this English it's exactly what I was looking for plus it's a bonus that a lot of it can be done independently, we just started this 3/4 of the way through last year so we're finishing this book and moving on to Grade 3 English
~Handwriting
 I CAN WRITE CURSIVE

~Music
penny whistle lessons
~Art
The complete Usborne Book of Art Ideas, Art treasury and Artistic pursuit
 It looks like a lot but keep in mind we do a few of these things only once or twice a week.
