4th grade Plan A

I call it Plan A because if this plan doesn't work I have some back ups

Bible- Polished Cornerstones by Doorposts done as a group
Math- R&S (Rod and Staff) 4
Grammar- R&S 3
Reading - Classic Selections from Ambleside and other free reading selections
Spelling- Zaner Bloser 5 on Spellingcity.com
Science- BJU (Bob Jones University) 4
History SOTW (Story of the world)
Music- Composer Studies & violin
Art- Feed My Sheep (How Great thou Art)
Language- ASL & Latin co-op
Extra Curricular- Track

I am hoping this all works for our rising 4th grader.

Curriculum woes...

Their is just too many options. I just can't seem to nail it all down. I think first grade was easy to plan and no state requirements for her. Just personal education goals. It pays to not have a compulsory attendance age until 8. This means we can do 1st & 2nd grade with out having to report. It pays to have an Aug 8th birthday here too. I am pretty set on what I am doing with her. Now on to my 4th & 8th graders. Oi! I can't decide, I really can't. I have a few ideas. I am researching hours upon hours a day. I need to make some choices, I need affordable but GOOD curriculum. So please comment and share with me what you are doing. or just tell me what I need to do.. I have always wanted to say "Let America decide" so here you go folks my children's educational future is in your hands!
