In second grade, I hope that Camille will make the transition to reading on her own and I'll be checking out books from the library for history on her level to help with that. A few of these books that I intended to read aloud with be a joint effort between her and I.
These are the books we own that I hope to have read by the end of 2nd grade.

Jessica,
Wonderful work. Looks like you will have a great year next year.
I noticed that you didn't have copywork for the Chapter 18 and that you plan to St. George and the Dragon. Here are the copywork suggestions from the AOCopywork yahoo group for that book. Hopefully you will find them useful.
St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges
Page 8
Like a sailor long at sea, under stormy winds and fierce sun, who begins to whistle merrily when he sees land, so Una was thankful.
Page11
There against the evening sky they saw a mountaintop that touched the highest heavens. It was crowned with a glorious palace, sparkling like stars and circled with walls and towers of pearls and precious stones.
Page 15
The knight bade his lady stand apart, out of danger, to watch the fight, while the beast drew near, half flying, half running.
Page 23
But he had fallen beneath a fair apple tree, its spreading branches covered with red fruit, and from that tree dropped a healing dew that the deadly dragon did not dare to come near.
Page 24
Then dawn chased away the dark, a lark mounted up to heaven, and up rose the brave knight with all his hurts and wounds healed, ready to fight again.

That is how it is when jolly sailors come into a quiet harbor. They unload their cargo, mend ship, and take on fresh supplies. Then away they sail on another long voyage, while we are left on shore, waving good-bye and wishing them Godspeed.
