Music is live (plus other news)


Hey there Reader,

Music is officially LIVE! Did you know this is the last unit we officially "promised" when we started this 4 1/2 years ago? September 2019 we said we would do 4 years of units that could be used and re-cycled at older levels, and we made it! It is crazy to think how far we've come by the grace of God. And what a unit to finish with! Music is incredible. The pages are so diverse and God is woven into everything. It is rich in every single subject and super well balanced. If you haven't checkout out the sample, go snag it now—the whole family will enjoy it!

I am super excited about our first literature-based Christmas unit. This unit focuses on the "ingredients" of what made Christmas so special long ago. Throughout the 8 lessons, you will be encouraged to slow down, peel back the layers of consumerism and obligation, and discover that peace, joy, and love are available if we will choose to see through the lens of thankfulness. If you have been missing the nostalgia of Christmas, turn with us through the pages of literature from a time gone by...
