Well Margot,

I was just talking to Cay about this at the Georgia conference. My mind set was like FIAR's also. I was glad to be able to purchase the set of books with one volume.

I think with Catholic Mosaic I would be really interested in purchasing monthly packages of the books. This would allow me the flexibility and freedom within my regular hs schedule to choose the months I could participate in CM with out the hassles of internet searching for the books, making sure they arrived on time etc...

I'm just now ordering Mosaic (B/W sounded appealing Cay...for the $ difference) and the ability to buy the books as a package is VERY appealing. 2 clicks and they're both on the way and all i have to do is dance in joyful expectation for a few days...OH and explain to my husband the "more books" thing!

Blessings to all,

I second Leslie's suggestion of making the books available in packages by the month. That breaks it down into more manageable chunks , but you still save on leg-work and shipping!

Cay,

I am now just thinking about buying this instead of some of other things I was planning to buy from CHC for my school year.

These some of the questions that I need to find the answers for. How often are the lessons set for (once a week,3 times a week, or 5 days a week, on feast days? How long will it take to do every lesson? How do I adjust it for my almost 4 yo so that he will take an interest, and my 10yo so that he can glean all he can from it? (that one is a biggie) Am I to do this istead of my religion program or as a family enrichment? What other subjects can I include in it--history, language arts, art, etc... Will this be too much for an overwhelmed mom? How will I make it fit in our day? How will this encourage our family to grow in our faith? What is this notebook and can I see examples? How easy are these books to get at the library? What books am I going to "have to" buy? (Another biggie since we are always under financial strain--I'm not saying it isn't worth it, but I may have to buy the guide this year and just buy things throughout the year and actually utilize the program next year.)

HTH,

Beth
