Math: RightStart. Love it. Level A for 5yo, level D for 9yo. This is the best part of our curriculum.

Language Arts: Rod&Staff English 4 for 9yo. I liked this last year (grade 3). This year I don't like it. What changed -- me or the curriculum? Spelling Power (she likes this a LOT). ETC for 5yo. The "Write" Approach for handwriting (it's a Waldorfy form-drawing based course) for 9yo (used HWT cursive last year, liked it, but ready to try something else).

Latin: Latina Christiana I. We did Prima Latina last year, so this is pretty easy so far.

Spanish: Rosetta Stone

Art: we started Artistic Pursuits last year, need to get back to it.

Science: should be doing Real Science 4 Kids Physics, but I'm a slug...we haven't gotten around to science yet this year. The kids keep begging (we did Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry last year, and they got a kick out of it). I need to get my act together.

History: finishing up Story of the World 2. This is the other best part of our curriculum. We also dip into SOTW3 as appropriate -- like, we celebrated Guy Fawkes day on Nov. 5 since we're almost to that chapter, and we'll celebrate Martinmas on the 11th, which is another early chapter in SOTW3, and I checked out all of the Pilgrim/Thanksgiving books SOTW3 recommended since it's almost Thanksgiving and we might as well get a head start on THAT chapter.

And Sonlight K, supposedly for 5yo.
