I'm so excited to be planning for next year! I've been re-reading The Well Trained Mind, Real Learning and A Charlotte Mason Companion. So many ideas to think about. We've been keeping up with math all summer and doing a little Mozart and Monet. Other than that it's been vacationing at the lake, VBS, entertaining company, and playing at the pool.
Most of what my first grader will be doing is a continuation of last year: finishing Spelling Workout B, Copybook III, and McGuffey's 3rd Eclectic Reader. We'll be starting Apologia's Botany book and Prima Latina. We'll also be going back and starting Story of the World all over again (we've read volumes 1-3 as read alouds because my daughters couldn't get enough!).
My pre-K/K second daughter will be reinforcing her letters, starting phonics and playing with numbers. She wants to be doing what her sister's doing, so we may even do Saxon K, though we skipped it with my oldest.
My desire to start planning is surely fueled by the current 'school supply sale' season! There's something very renewing and re-charging about bran' spankin' new markers, notebooks, and folders. A fresh start!

Happy planning!
You are going to have a wonderful year!
Those sales are inspiring, aren't they? We ended up with several unplanned for, but very exciting, purchases this year!
