BrownGirl Speaks

I've been bitten by the planning bug. I'm already finished mapping out my curriculum purchases for second grade...I think.  Are any of us ever really finished? Nah, we just have to stop ourselves and pick something at some point. January marked year two for our home school family and I'm still getting on solid round around here. I'm ready to have a good flow about this. Anyway, I'll just share what I have so far:
Language Arts - Primary Language Lessons, Spectrum Spelling 3
Math - MCP level B (still mulling over )
Science - no idea just know that we want to cover weather, solar system, and chemistry. will probably just do create my own thing
History - Story of the World 2
Foreign Language - still debating if we'll start Latin this year or 3rd grade. Meanwhile we have Hooked on French and Hooked on Chinese for fun
Bible - will create my own thing focused on more character building and more memory verses
Nature Study - continue with Handbook of Nature Study and nature walks, gardening
Fine Arts - music and art appreciation (my own thing), Draw Write Now

I think that's it. Of course, there'll be lots of living books. Still gotta find some good books set in Africa for the Middle Ages. Any suggestions?

To get everything organized, I'm going to create my own planner. I wanted to purchase this lovely planner I've been ogling for months, but I like doing a Day # format instead of specific dates so that it's easy to adjust if things get off track which they do and probably will. This means I gotta get a nifty comb binding machine. Well, I don't have to but I want one so there. Now I have to plan the planner...
