Well, I have began planning for next year.  Buying some curriculum, for my son.  I really want to end up as a very relaxed homeschooler or unschooler, but my son does not react well to this lack of structure.  So I purchased some stuff to cover the basics for 5th grade.  So here is what I have so far:  Reading, English, and vocabulary  I purchased Rod & Staff.  I looked at all the competition and this just fit us really well.  I plan on returning to Math U See for math, Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry, Natural Speller for spelling, and I will use notebooking and lapbooks for history units.

For electives he has choosen typing (we will be using a computer program), Bible, and drawing.  He also takes guitar lessons.  So I believe I have all the bases covered.  Plus, we read all the time. 

For my dd fwho is K5 I choose Rod & Staff phonics to use with Phonics Pathways.  For math we will use Math U See Primer.  She will also work with my son on science and history.  We plan on doing a lot of art activities and lots of read alouds.

Of course it like everything else is a work in progress.
