Homeschool Curriculum for 2013-2014

Hard to believe another year for home schooling is coming to a close!  Technically, we hit our mandated 180 days tomorrow, but we will be continuing on for the year until the end of June or until Aly is born - whichever comes first.  We will be taking off a few weeks after Aly is born, and then starting back up with the new school year on August 5th.  My 4 yo actually starts school this year in PreK4, so I will be planning for four kiddos, and adding the youngest boy into BFIAR with his sister.  So here are the curriculum choices for the upcoming year:

K will be in 5th grade:
Devotions: Train Up a Child Bible Curriculum, starting with "Choosing Obedience"
Geography: Up until the end of December we will be studying Asia and Africa, then starting the states
English: Shurley English Level 5 and starting 6, if needed
Bible: Studying the Gospels using Veritas Press curriculum
Spelling: All About Spelling Level 6 and starting 7 if needed
Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears
Math: Math U See Delta
Science: Apologia Zoology 3
Reading: Prairie Primer (starting with On the Banks of Plum Creek) and American Girl (starting with Kirsten)
Other: Keepers at Home

L will be in 2nd grade:
Devotions: Same
Geography: Same
English: Shurley English Level 2
Bible: Veritas Press curriculum - Genesis-Joshua
Spelling: All About Spelling Level 3
Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears
Math: Math U See Beta
Science: Same
Reading: FIAR and Readers
Other: Contenders

W will be in 1st grade:
Devotions: Same
Geography: Same
English: Shurley English Level 1
Spelling: All About Spelling Level 1
Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears
Math: Math U See Alpha
Science: Same
Reading: FIAR and Readers
Other: Contenders

S will be in PreK4:
Devotions: Same
Geography: Same
Reading: BFIAR
Main Curriculum: PACEs from Accelerated Christian Education

B will be PreK2:
He will join S in BFIAR, and everyone for devotions and geography - other than that, he will be doing busy bags and such.

Fun fun :)
