Learning & Living DVD set is out! What about extra books?

I’ve got a minute to chime in here (before I go present a workshop at this convention in Washington, D.C.). My personal thoughts on how this is expanded and updated are that much of Discs 1-5 are similar to what was covered on the All-Day CM Seminar and the Books & Things Seminar; however, I have learned more about three school subjects in recent years (composition, foreign language, and math), so the explanations of how to teach those subjects are expanded with what I’ve learned. Disc 6 (Laying Down the Rails) contains the same principles as the previously released one, but I’ve gathered more examples and illustrations over the years and added them to the presentation. Discs 7-12 are new material, with the exception of the first half of Disc 10, Four Ways to Destroy Your Child’s Love for Knowledge, I’ve added a section at the end of that one about Spreading the Feast and principles we can glean from that word picture. 

Does that help?

Patiently waiting at my mailbox, but I will go inside to eat and sleep until it arrives. 

A quick update…

We now have a link to the extra notebooks and the group showing information at the bottom of the Learning and Living page. The free downloadable leader’s guide is available now too.

Hey Sue!  I’d love to take you up on the offer, but we recently had a gullywasher in our parched part of Texas.  The mosquitos would swallow me whole before midnight.  Heh.

A couple more questions….

1. Is the new Early Years DVD information included somewhere in this set?

2. Is the simplifiying seminar that was discussed here a while back included?

Thanks….I’m intrigued

@Melissa – the simplifying workshop is not on here because they haven’t recorded it yet. This thread has more info, though, on that workshop:

The how-to’s will be covered on both. The LA CD has a little more overview/big picture information, where the L&L set covers those subjects but doesn’t lump them all together into a Language Arts step-by-step outline.
