plan for next year -too much? not enough?

Reposting this in a quest for insight.

 

We will have a 4 day schedule because he will attend the local public school one day a week, for a gifted enrichment program. This will be our first year homeschooling, and we will be using Tapestry of Grace with Writing Aids, although I will sometimes use copywork or dictation in place of their ideas, as he has never done those before and because of a processing disorder they would be very helpful for him. Oh, and Math Mammoth, Grammar Simplified, a free typing program, an etiquette book from the 1950s, and Rosetta Stone for Spanish.

 

*edited to add that the art/music will be Harmony Fine Arts - Ancient Art and Intro to Orchestra.
