If the place at a higher level, does it cause you to skip important spelling rules that your child may have figured out but not know as a "rule" - is that a big deal?

I am starting my first year as a homeschooler with my soon-to-be kindergartner! I would love to invest in a spelling program that will eventually work with all of my children. I have done some research and have come down to two curriculum that I really like: Spell to Write and Read and All About Spelling. I am having a hard time deciding between the two - does anyone use one and absolutely love it?

I think she has the alignment for all three cycles - but here is SOTW Cycle 3 with CC timeline: http://www.halfahundredacrewood.com/2011/07/history-readings-for-cycle-3.html

Does anyone blog classical conversations ideas? I'm trying to do research to start in the fall for my 5yo . . . I'd especially love to see how you display your memory work and any sample lessons plans. Thanks!

I've seen that some people have planned out the alignments between Classical Conversations history timeline cards and SOTW books - has anyone does this with DK History of the World? Looking into history curriculums and trying to save money where possible!

Has anyone doing CC purchased the latest Foundations curriculum book (4th edition)? Are there major changes from the previous addition?
