Science: This year's Chemistry filled a lab requirement but did not adequately cover an Honors level understanding of Chemistry. Next year, we'll take Glencoe's Chemistry: Matter and Change 1 chapter per week and work through the text, understanding, and problems. Completing that will mean an Honors Level Chemistry course.
In addition, I think a Biology lab if they're still offering it -- that means that a second year of BIology could be added if this wasn't enough (expensive, though!): http://contemporarysciencecenter.org/homeschoolbiolabs.html Here are some interesting hands-on biology classes:

Literature and writing: We will be losing our marvelous Literature/Writing teacher this coming year. What to do? One option is a private tutoring for writing like what a friend is doing (is that available?), or doing an essay class from IEW's materials, or maybe something like EMC's Write In Reader for Grade 10: http://www.emcp.com/product_catalog/index.php?GroupID=862%20
PE: TKD Black Belt testing occurs in October! Training will need to be done before that.
History: Time to add some history -- might be interesting to do a Winter Promise history like...? We do need to do American History this year or next with the election coming up.
Math... oh, yes, math...
Robotics, goes without saying
