Planning Ahead

We are in process of deciding what we want to study and use next year for 2nd and 3rd grades with our girls. Here is a partial list of what we are looking at so far:

Math - Singapore Math – Lessons and Math Sprints (levels 2 and 3)

History - Story of the World vol. 2 & activity book.  As I am looking at the time frame, Fall of Rome through the Rise of the Renaissance, I am thinking we can incorporate lots of music and art history.  Hmmm...where are my old music history CDs and books? 

Science - Apologia Exploring Creation with Botany and then probably Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day

Language Arts – All About Spelling (I am switching because one of my kids is having some writing/motor skill issues and I am hoping this program will address that a bit), weekly composition writing (on computer, use to reinforce spelling, grammar concepts), Writing With Ease vol. 2

Spanish – Rosetta Stone (if I can find a good deal on it!)

Latin - not decided on this yet (3rd grader only)

Geography – continue to use our geography songs CD and map them (this year, we've learned the continents and oceans and the countries of Africa, the Middle East, Southern Europe and the US and Canada so far!)

US & PA History – make up units in PA and US History as we are interested

For our preschooler, I am looking at the following:
