(stop that laughing!)

on my fave cyberspot the gals were discussing Mystery of History which i know i have heard of in the past but never REALLY took a good look at...until Friday

well, let's just say that i now have my dream curriculum for the rest of my homeschooling days...it seems to be a mix of all my favorite things in one spot!

i'm NOT a "classical" homeschooler, in fact i seem to be (i should say that my young ones seem to be) much more of a "relaxed" family....we LOVE to read books, we LOVE to do crafty type projects, we are very "hands on"...and MOH seems to fit right in there, despite the fact that it says "classical"...and their "Resource List"...oh MY!!!! love it! And i figure by the time the new volumes come out (#3 out of 5 should be out this spring) we'll just be ready for them

since reading "Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach" by Robin Sampson, i knew i wanted to go through the Bible in chronological order and teach history that way, not this mish-mash way of going about it...learn about it the way God laid it all out...how can you go wrong? KONOS wasn't really working with us, it was almost too much (including planning time) Sonlight is a great curriculum, but there were a few things i wasn't too happy about, one being the increasing costs of the full Cores...

so, while i'm unit-studying our way through American History this year (with units purchased from HomeschooleStore.com, linked on my side bar) i'm gearing up for purchasing MOH! i discussed it with hubbyman, who is all for it. I have LOTS of stuff to Ebay and yard sale this year, so i'm using that as curriculum cash  

we also looked at A Child's Geography for this year, but i set it aside...and it looks like iit wil go terrific with MOH, so i'm glad that i was reminded of it this weekend...it's also on my "need to purchase" list

so there's my long term plan...they ever have a Yahoo group that i popped on to get myself in order, as IF i need another online spot to hang around in

i wonder if i can get some sort of prize for the most links in a post!

It's been a crazy week for me here, but I saw your post and wanted to come and put in a good report for MOH.

We love it. I have actually split it into a 2 year program.. not planned.. just happened that way. We love the timeline and the easyness (is that a word?) of it all.

Thanks for the Yahoo group link.. didn't know they had one. Very cool.. off to check that out.
