 
Let me just say upfront that I am still an all about Charlotte Mason and AmbleSide momma. My son however was showing how bored he was with just reading and narrating. I still find it to be the best way to remember things though and was able to find something we will use for 34 weeks as a way to bring in the activities for a wiggly boy and also extra time for him to work on his 3 R's.
We're using Beyond by Heart of Dakota. We will finish unit 1 day 5 today. DS6 really enjoyed the science times and math activities. Today we get to make a shield to remember who protects us, that'd be YHVH. We will use the above image for Psalm 18:2 - The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
ETA 7.15.08: When it came to the spelling lists I combined a few words from each. I did not require any other copywork other than the words and/or sentences with the words because I knew DS would balk at having to copy the poem and I didn't have him put the poem in order because his reading skills are not that good ...yet ... weekly chipping away at it though.
Swylv :-(
Praying for a second child since june 2002 -- you'd cry too,
even DS cries to be a big brother
May YHVH bless thee, and keep thee:
May YHVH make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
May YHVH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee Shalom.

You seem to be enjoying Beyond. I should have done that last year, but I had already bought SL and I didn't want to waste money. ;)
