An Old-Fashioned Christmas is LIVE


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 to rediscover it again.

For Canadians, just a reminder that our Canadian site will be shutting down for print orders in only two weeks! You are still able to order from the US site, but you will likely see an increase in shipping times and costs. I know some of you were waiting to order until Christmas launched to stock up and take advantage of the coupon code I offered for 10% off your print order: CANADA10.

For those of you ordering off the US site, the books are required reading. I chose them partly because they are readily available at your local library or on Amazon, but if you prefer, we do have 200 book packages available to purchase at 20% off retail on the US site. You can snag the book bundle here. If you missed the free sample and want to look closer at the layout before you buy, you can grab that here.

It's here! Our new Modular Math series is designed with 13 units, 7 levels, and (like all our Gather 'Round units) is designed to last 5 weeks each level if you do 4 days per week.

If you've been curious to see how it works, you can watch the video here or take the placement test, download a free 1 week sample, and see...
