6th Grader
Analytical Grammar
MUS
Sequential Spelling
TOG 1
IEW and TOG Writing
Apologia General Science and give her 18 months to do it

3rd Grader
Easy Grammar
MUS
Sequential Spelling
TOG 1
IEW and TOG Writing
Apologia or God's Design Science
HWT

2nd Grader
Easy Grammar
MUS
Sequential Spelling
TOG 1
IEW and TOG Writing
Apologia or God's Design Science
HWT

Also, I think we would do TOG 4 days a week and use Living Principles of America cd one day a week and they could practice taking notes and writing with this.

What do I need to add or change?

Thanks

looks like you've got the basics covered. However, you might want to consider a foreign language (maybe for your older student) and make sure you've got some PE and nature study built in...

It looks like a great to me.

The one change that I would make is to drop IEW for your 2nd grader. The TOG writing, some copywork, and maybe some narrations would be plenty for this age.

Ideas of things to add:
Latin or another foreign language for at least the older 2 maybe even all 3
Some kind of logic for the 6th grader. I think the WTM recommends Critical Thinking, Bookk 1 and 2 for this year.

I would be prepared to take AG at a slower pace if your 6th grader starts to get bogged down by it. We ended up splitting the lessons over 2 days because my ds started to struggle a bit with it part way through.
This may not happen with your child, but I just thought I would throw this out there.
Otherwise I think your plans look good.
