Curriculum Plans for 2013-14, Take Two

I posted a couple weeks ago about our plans for the year.  Well, things changed.  So I'm trying again.  Mostly so I know what I'm doing.  Eek.

My kids are going to be in 11th, 9th, 7th, 4th and 2nd grades this year.

Subject to change (again), here is what I have planned for school for this year.  I'm only linking something the first time it is mentioned.

Connor, 11th grade:

• English: Literary Lessons from the Lord of the Rings; also he is working through Logic of English, primarily for spelling help.
• Math: Thinkwell's AP Calculus
• History: Finishing Sonlight Core 200, and then starting Core 300
• Science: Environmental Science.  Hopefully AP Environmental Science. I have to finalize the syllabus and submit it to the College Board first though.  Either way, he's taking the AP exam in May.
• Foreign Language: Homeschool Spanish Academy

Of all of the above stuff, at this point, the only thing we don't have is Literary Lessons from the Lord of the Rings.  Hopefully we'll have that this week.  Oh, and we don't have Sonlight Core 300 yet either, but we won't need that until probably January.
