Resurrection to the Reformation Begins Tomorrow!

Today was the last day of Creation to Christ.

Granted, Laura only had around a month to complete when we switched back to Heart of Dakota after Christmas.  That month gave me time to file our taxes, wait for and receive our return, and order the next level. 

Tomorrow Laura will officially begin Resurrection to the Reformation.

I almost skipped this level.  Laura has covered the history and most of the science with a different program.  To save money, I almost just started her half-speed on Revival to Revolution.  However, beginning Laura on this level would have required me to also begin her older sister.  Unfortunately, even at half speed, I was afraid to have my high school student to begin a second program while still finishing the first.  The extensions add a lot of reading, and I really don't want any of my children overwhelmed so much by all their work that their learning suffers.

So, after praying about it, I went ahead and ordered Resurrection to the Reformation for my daughter. Then I added some of the lessons in it for my high school daughter to help prepare her for Heart of Dakota's more Charlotte Mason type of learning.

Despite the repeat of the history and some of the science, the depth of the learning is completely different than what my daughter has been doing.  Heart of Dakota also has so many skills built in that I didn't want to skip a guide and make things more difficult later.  Instead of four days per week, we will do five and get through the program more quickly.
