Get control over your homeschooling by using our updated  Daily Lesson Plans!  Just as our Complete Program curriculum, the lesson plans are literature-based, unit study curriculum using Charlotte Mason methods -- but we have done all of the planning and pulled together all of the assignments for you. These plans also integrate history with science, language arts, fine arts and projects, so there is no need to purchase curriculum for every subject separately.  Epi Kardia is used with whole books (not included) that are found in your public or church library, used bookstore or online.

 

I am planning on using Epi Kardia right on up through high school so don’t stop writing those lesson plans!

If you are looking for a curriculum alternative that does not require a great deal of planning and preparation time, this is the one to choose. The daily lesson plans include teacher's keys, discussion questions, memorization work, dictation passages, spelling words (through 5th grade), map work, poetry lessons, composition assignments, and much, much more!   Currently, daily lesson plans are offered for Kindergarten (Kindergarten Complete Program) described here, and First, Third and Fourth Grades, as well as Middle School (which can be used for more than one year, depending upon the age and ability of your   student.)

 

Your daily lesson plans are so fabulous! So well thought out. My daughter and I are really enjoying them and I would love to continue with the program!

"We have really enjoyed using the Epi Kardia unit on the Ancients! The lesson plans are very user friendly and such a help to me!! Another thing I appreciated is that it is a really nice blend of reading with hands on activities and discussion. One thing that makes this curriculum very affordable is being able to get the great majority of the books at the library, if you choose. However, some of the books are really wonderful books, and things you may want to keep on your bookshelf. I think it is a great curriculum and one I recommend to people quite often!! I think you and Beth have done a great job and I am really impressed! Thank you again for all your help!! Blessings,"

--Rose,   Mom of 2 

"Over the past school year we have benefited from using the Epi Kardia daily lesson plans. We have thoroughly enjoyed each book that we read as we traveled through history; Epi Kardia truly made history come alive! In addition, the lesson plans have helped to keep us on schedule, given us hands-on projects, questions, and web sites to research, writing assignments to complete and worksheets to help organize information! Thank you!"

"[The daily lesson plans] have been so helpful to me. The structure really helps me and gives me confidence. Thanks again for all the advice and support. You have been such an encouragement to me."

--Joyce, Mom of 5

 

"I have a critique, and I hope you take this in the manner that it is meant – with honesty, etc. I am not sure you’re charging enough money for all you are providing (in the lesson plans). I am so very impressed with your products… Just wanted to thank you for all the work that you and your partner have put into them."
