I originally planned to continue with Sonlight, but the fourth grader is asking to go back to Ancients again. He's specifically fascinated with Ancient Greek history. I looked at the next Sonlight level that starts with Ancient History and it's HBL G, which is way beyond his age range (he's only 9 and that level is written for late middle school/early high school).
My Plan is to give The Well-Trained Mind a try again (we've used this before).
Here's my hopefully final plan (subject to change).
Also, the 12th grader graduates in May, so she will be in college with the older three. I will only be homeschooling one for the first time ever.
