It sounds great!!!!!!!! I personally would stay very lowkey with the copywork and writing for a 5 yr old unless they really enjoy it and are ready and focus more on the nonwritten mathy things and reading and only doing things like tracing letters with finger over written letters or in sand or beans or rice to start to prepare 5 yr old for writing.I dont pay much attention to grade level for math or any subject really - have used higher grade level texts sometimes and other way.My 7th grader and 12th grader both did Geometry this yr tho usually done in 8th grade and ended up using same thing for them because liked it and the "12th grade" geometry curric someone loaned me was virtually the same concepts but liked teaching method so much better in other one 7th grader used.

Also sounds like your older one is not much of a writer so would let him do things like fill-ins you can print off on computer and to keep writing to a minumum while he practices so he doesnt grow weary.......
