I visit often to gather ideas for our school or resource ideas. Just wanted to say thank you for being so generous with your ideas. Also...I grew up in Northern KY and miss home dearly! I always wanted to go to Georgetown College...but circumstances led me elsewhere. Blessings to you! I visit often but hardly comment….just wanted to stay that I so appreciate your blog.

I am doing a whole new kind of homeschooling next year than I've been doing, and I'm trying to find ideas.... unit studies is the way I'm leaning. One question - why is your blog titled "our journey westward"? Just curious! I’m so glad I stumbled across your blog!

I was wondering if you do any projects or reports while reading all those good books, or do you leave those kind of things for the end of the unit?

I can tell they really worked hard on them. My 7 yo. son is begging to do the Civil War, so I've got it planned for sometime in the fall if I can hold him off for that long. :) Love your project ideas - I'll probably steal a couple for our unit! Blessings, Shannon (P.S. Where did you get the soldiers for Caleb's battle? Are they Lego people?) Bravo to your kids on their projects! I can tell they really worked hard on them.

We'll just call it boarding school. I'll pick them up and bring them home for weekends and school breaks...during which time they can teach ME all they've learned. ;-) Seriously, can I just send my kids to your house for school?
