Our Curriculum this year

I've changed our entire curriculum this year so it's more fun and more structured.  I don't like the "all-in-one" curriculum out there.  I think that some companies are better at certain subjects than others.  So I mix and match with what I think will work best for us.  I have 2 kids with 2 different learning styles and I also have a different learning style than each of them, (which is reflected in my teaching style.)  So, I have to use things that will work for all of us!  One kid is an audio, with a secondary visual, type learner, the other is a kinesthetic, with a secondary visual, type learner. 

Here is our curriculum for this year:
