I vote RS A for the 4yo for math.

Everything looks great. You haven't decided on writing yet? Not pressuring, just asking since I know you asked about it the other day. I like your art selections. You reminded me that I haven't bought my art yet.

When are you starting school?

Looks good, and a bit similar to my own plans for 2nd grade this coming school year. :D

I think it looks super! We did similar when my kids were younger, particularly with my ds joining in history and science whenever he was interested. It was Vol. 2 also, and the one thing he remembered even years later was that the Celts painted themselves blue and fought naked, lol.

The only thing I would add in would be memorization, silly stuff that the kids would find fun.

I liked Singapore's Early Bird math.

Thanks for mentioning the writing! I knew I was missing something. I actually decided to buy WWE; I just forgot to include it on my list. We usually start sometime in late August or early September. I'm wanting to order tonight or tomorrow, so that hopefully everything will be here on time.
