Getting ready for the 2010/2011 School year

I know, it's a little late right?  Oh well, we have had so very much going on with our little family this summer oh, heck all year.  So we are talking about it now.  Better late then never.

DS is so textbook oriented.  He likes a plan he can follow.  DD?  Not so much.  She likes to take a topic and go with it.  She loves to research.

I had them write down what they wanted to study this year, today.  She put:

Japan
Ireland

Switzerland
Ballet (history of)
World War II
Butterflies
Animals
Birds
Hand writing
Piano
Ballet
Sewing
Art

WHEW!  What a year she has planned!  DS put on his list:

"Life of Fred" Trig and Calculus
Beautiful Feet History
Chemistry (at local Community College)
LLATL American Lit or British Lit
Music Theory
Piano
Ballet (but no can do, with piano and CC I can't afford it)

I added a unit study on elections for them both since there are mid year elections going on now.  I had planned to do it 2 years ago but lost the curriculum but I've found it now so we will go with it.  DD will also do "Life of Fred" Decimals and Percents.  She just assumed I knew that one.  LOL 

So what do you think?   What are your plans?
