Homeschooling for 2011-2012

I recently finalized my plans for the boys' school this year.  We are heading into a huge transition.  Zach will be a freshman in high school.  The thought just scares me!  I never dreamed that we would get this far!  Here are our plans:

Math- Finishing Math-U-See Algebra I and then moving into geometry.

Science- Apologia Biology

Social studies- TRISMS Rise of Nations (I have never used this curriculum....looking forward to it!)

Spanish I- Breaking the Barrier

PE-Log of activities and reading Fitness for Life

Noah (5th)

Math- Math-U-See Epsilon (fractions)

Science- Apologia Zoology I

Social Studies- Biblioplan III

Piano lessons

I am praying for an awesome year!
