I posted our tentative curricula a few months ago for Marco and Isabella. At that time, I was still waiting to peruse all the books at the homeschool conference. Since then, there have been a few changes made and I am now posting our final list. As you will notice, I'm combining several subjects for the kids.
If you are interested in viewing Anthony's preschool curricula for the 2009-2010 year, you can find that here.

I just found your blog from WTM forums. You have such great ideas. I have a soon to be 5 year old. I wanted to cover the Human Body with him. Is there anyway you can post the remaining weeks of your plans for the unit? I looked at the sample pages of the books you are using and they look great!!
I would be more than happy to share the lesson plans with you. Just send me your email address to lizimagination at gmail.com
The lessons are easy and basic. They don't include extra reading books, as I tried to leave that open for my DH to add to since he's doing the lessons.
Glad to help!

I noticed that some of our children are the same ages! You seem to be doing some of the same things I'm teaching my kids: Middle Ages (although I'm using different materials), Saxon Math, Piano Lessons, Faith & Life (which I LOVE - I've always used Seton in the past, but switched this year)!
Good luck with your newest family member arriving soon! (I'm due in December with our 4th!)
