More curriculum talk--because I'm boring like that

I'm finally stepping out of my shell.  I've loved most of Sonlight's boxed curriculum for 3 years now, but I noticed something was working for my oldest.  So this year I've talked and talked and talked, and read, and read, and read about curriculum until I finally think I've got a solid Language Arts program planned for my kids.  Yes, I realize I've mentioned this to the point where I'm driving everyone around me nuts.  But really!  I've got it.  At least... I hope I have.

Here's the plan:  

*Rod and Staff English 2-accelerated for the oldest, on course for the Princess.  When the Angel gets through Rod and Staff English 2, I'll move her into Rod and Staff English 3.

*All About Spelling for both, probably at the same pace.       

*Latina Christiana I, I'm going to slow this down for both of them (which means go the pace that is recommended.  We've flown through Prima Latina).  If I need to, I'll supplement it with Ludere Latin for the older one.

*New American Cursive II, we are wrapping up NAC1 soon, and I'm finding this to be a very usable cursive curriculum.  

Its kind of liberating to have a handle on my plans and to have my program put together.  The girls are finishing up cursive 1, Prima Latina, and have just started the Rod and Staff, and so far I think my biggest concern is directing how they do their table work as they are sharing some of the materials.

Also in the shake-up we are ditching Sonlight's Bible program for Memoria Press' Bible curriculum.  I wanted something a little more in depth for the kids as they are getting older.  I hope that I'm not disappointed.  We'll keep the Core from Sonlight though.  That is our favorite part of the school day.  We'll keep our Horizon's Math too.  Every now and then I get worried as we move into new territory, but I still think overall its working well for the kids.  We're also trying a new Science this year, Real-Science-4-Kids Physics which is exciting.

SO deep breath as I hit the place order buttons for more curriculum!
