Bug is loving her 3rd grade Language Arts books - Winning with Writing, Growing with Grammar, and Soaring with Spelling. I am also a fan because they are about 99% self-guided. She reads the lesson and then does the work. I grade it, we discuss any issues, and that's that.
She is almost done with her 2nd grade Horizons Math book. We will start the 3rd grade book during Session 3. I am very impressed with this program!! Bug has learned way more than I would have expected for 2nd grade, and we are both excited to see what 3rd grade brings. :)
We also started a reading program with chapter books. Bug's goal is 50 books and then there will be a prize of some sort... no idea what yet :) I guess I should figure that out!! For each book, she writes a few sentences about it, or draws a picture -- I am using the Summer Reading Program we did last summer because I like the little banners and reward cards.
And, our big science project was --- a butterfly garden!!! Bug wrote a report about the different stages after they were all released. It was a fun hands-on adventure for a few weeks. :) Here are a ton (probably way too many!) pictures of how it all went down.
Up next -- Rootvue farm, owl pellets, and Aquafarm. :) We also joined the Desert Museum, so we will take some educational trips there.
