2nd Grade Curriculum

I'm behind in entries, so for those of you visiting, please come back randomly through the year.  In a nutshell, here is our 2nd grade curriculum.  I love how it flows into a full-circle.

Themes:  1st Semester
1.  Not Of This World (NOTW) - We live in this world, but we are not of it.  Learning about our community and where God has us living while we are here.  Community and Community Helpers.
2.  Maps & Directions - Learning to navigate in our community and world.  Our map for life is the Bible.
3.  Follow the Star - (Special study for December) Learning more about the Wise Men and how they followed the Star;  Jesus calls us to follow Him.
Themes:  2nd Semester
4.   Pirates & Treasure Maps - (fun twist for a boy!) False teachers of the scripture; Spiritual warfare
5.  Treasures - What are our treasures?  Earthly treasures vs. Heavenly treasures
6.  Not of This World - overview; Where our treasure is there our heart will be also;  Are our treasures earthly or heavenly, are we of this world or in this world?
