Curriculum and AS-AK-A-L vs. AR-AV-G-S

Well, I have received part of R's 1st(-ish?) grade curriculum.  The homeschool convention is at the end of this month, and that's when I'll finalize the rest of my choices, though I'm pretty sure on all of it.
This has slightly changed since the last post, so I'm going to repost it, for those that actually care...

History, Geography, Bible - Sonlight Core B
Readers - Sonlight Readers 2
Science - Sonlight Science K

Those are the for sure, purchased, organized on my shelf choices.  These are the probables:
Math - Saxon 1(John Saxon was a friend of my mother-in-law's and Mr. P used them in school and insisted that I at least try them.  I will as soon as I can look at an actual book)
Handwriting - Either A Reason for Handwriting or Petersen's or something that is the perfect mixture of both.  I'm thinking that Petersen's is too basic while ARFH might not be basic enough.  Again, at the homeschool convention, I'm hoping to get some other options or get a better idea of what these are all about.
Language Arts - Umm, totally forgot about these.  Obviously not one of my strongest or most favorite subjects.  I'm leaning towards Shurley English.  I used it in the 5th grade and learned more in that one year than I learned in the rest of my time in elementary school.  They use jingles to help remember parts of speech and other important language-arts-y things, and I still remember some of the jingles.  We won't talk about just how many years those jingles have stuck in my head, but let's just say it's been a while.  They are very catchy and very helpful.  I think it will be a good fit for R as well.  There are other options out there though, so I'm going to browse and see what I can find.

Now, for that very interesting string of letters up there...
I've been reading The Way They Learn by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias.  Let's just say it was a bit of a slap in the face on how I've been approaching this homeschool thing.  R is Abstract Sequential (AS), Auditory-Kinesthetic (AK), Analytical (A), Linguistic (L) learner.  This is the way God made her.  Very understanding of other people's feelings, very orderly, detail- and language-oriented.  Now her mother/teacher is Abstract Random (AR), Audio-Visual (AV), Global (G), Spatial (S).  This is the way God made me (and interestingly enough, Mr. P is the exact opposite on almost all accounts).  I'm very empathetic as well, but not orderly (to others), more concerned about the big picture versus the small details, I have to see and hear it to learn it and I have a great spacial awareness.
I understand that homeschool is a team effort.  It's about what works best for both of us.  But as you can see, we don't have a whole lot in common. :)  So, I am going back over these different learning/thinking styles and highlighting ways that I can get into her head and help her learn - for lack of a better word - better.  Mr. P teaches her Sunday school class, so she is getting used to another way of receiving information.  As she gets older, I want to get other teachers involved so she can learn how to receive information and study for her own needs.  Just because someone doesn't teach to her styles, doesn't mean she can't understand or learn from them.  But, right now, she's only 4 1/2.  My main goal right now is to help her enjoy learning.  God has called me to teach my children so I can train them to follow the path He has created them for, so I need to also teach them in the way God has created them.

I guess homeschool isn't just teaching the kids - it's teaching the teachers too.

Disclosure: Absolutely none of the above companies compensated me in any way.  The links don't reward me in any way, though if you are purchasing through Sonlight, I'd love it if you would use the link in my sidebar, as that is a reward program and it saves you $5 on your first purchase of $50 or more.  The book link isn't even an Amazon rewards link.  I just like these products and wanted to share.
