Second Grade Curriculum Bundle
Complete your curriculum Curriculum complete
The Second Grade Bundle gathers a full year of living books for children growing in confidence as readers and thinkers. These selections pair mathematics, handwriting, geography, literature, folklore, music, and art into a balanced and engaging year of study, with an emphasis on beautiful books that reward rereading.
This bundle is designed to support the Second Grade year alongside the Chapter II Box Set, giving parents a ready-made shelf for daily lessons, narration, map work, creative exploration, and the steady expansion of a child’s literary and intellectual world.
If you do not have the Kindergarten Bundle, The Handbook of Nature Study should be added separately. It is a core text in the Chapter House curriculum across all levels.
