The Encouragement Group meeting last night was fun and, as its name implies, encouraging!  One of the ladies shared a devotional thought from Jackie Wellwood's book 101 More Devotions for Homeschool Moms.  And we talked about the curricula we have used for different areas of Language Arts.  I learned about a literature course I hadn't seen before, but I'm really interested in it now.  (Should come as no surprise, considering that I'm a book-aholic! )  It's called Drawn into the Heart of Reading.  It was appealing to me because it's designed by a Christian homeschooling mom for teaching literature to more than one grade level at at once.  Here's a link to the teacher's guide available at CBD: http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=287100&netp_id=273460&event=ESRCN&item_code=WW

Kind of pricey, but I think it would be fun!  Well, I'm thinking about it.  I am not making any decisions until at or after the MACHE curriculum fair next month.

Here's today's historical tidbit:

On this day in 1867: The British North America Act establishes the Dominion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Québec, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.  Read about it at: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/refarticle.aspx?refid=761572476
