Some people have asked us what methods we're relying on to homeschool. The best answer I can give is that we use an eclectic approach to teaching the kids. I need more structure than the unschoolers, but I don't care for the rigidity of classical education. I'm taking a little bit from here, there, and everywhere. Here's a breakdown of what we're using currently:
Saxon for Math
Spivey and The Most Creative Writing Lessons Ever for Writing
Spalding for Speech, Spelling, Writing, and Reading
The Story of the World for Social Studies
Of course, we supplement heavily from the hundreds of books we already have. Plus we use the Internet, libraries, community resources, etc.

The kids are going to be far ahead of their peers in their academics. What a wonderful opportunity this is for them, and for their parents too. I am so proud of each of you and the plan to learn from each other. Great!
I'm interested to know about the social studies curriculum. You have such a wealth of places to visit -- history, geography -- it will all be so much more interesting, with all their field trips.
