    Second Grade Core Kit

    Core subjects are the "basic essentials" of education for a particular grade, such as reading, science, and religion. CHC's second grade homeschool curriculum kit includes lesson plans, answer keys, and all the core texts except math, which can be purchased more affordably from other sources (see Also Required for Second Grade below).

This is my 10th year homeschooling, and I'm sure my other children didn't learn as much as my 2nd grader this year is learning. It's a pace that is just right for us, and the Catholic perspective on everything is truly beautiful. This has been our best year ever, even with four children at different levels.

This week I will begin homeschooling for the first time with my second grader. I had so many questions and concerns, but everything was addressed in your well written and organized lesson plan.
