Sounds like fun actually. I am realizing just how much I love all the organizational and research part of it. I have really loved www.amblesideonline.com It is a free Charlotte Mason curriculum you would love her. It is all based on books and classics and what she called "living books". There are lists of great books and resources too on whjere to find them online for free as well. She is just inspirational anyway. We are using as our core the Christopherus curriculum. I LOVE it and I love Donna SImmons. Of course it is Waldorf based but I can teach as much JESUS as I want!! I just love the way they teach math and reading. It is so non western in thinking!! but I just have to say that YOU ROCK KRISTEN. I mean you really do. No exaggerations. I think alot of you!! BTW... we are moving to Dallas is one week!!!! Much LOve Hey there lady!!

I think that's part of the PE curriculum, to get kids to work in teams, as well as gross motor. Maybe see if there's something local she can do? And it is becoming obvious that you are NEVER going to answer the question of when Judah became "Mary Judah", so I'll consider it a highly sensitive matter not to be publicly discussed for fear of emotional trauma.
