Curriculum Complete...or is it?

I've spent the last month collecting what I think will appropriately feed my children's minds for the next school year.  The plan is to have a loose curriculum and a flexible schedule; to set some goals and meet them, instead of trying to force the poor things into doing worksheets so we have something to show our Education Specialist at the Charter.  That was just too much pressure and we all were miserable with it!  This year we're going free form and filing a Private School Affidavit.  Yay! 

So here's what I've collected, I hope it works.  And if it doesn't, I'm not going to stress about it, but just roll with some changes. :-)
