5th Edition Foundations Guide
News and Updates
Over the next several months I will be participating in training calls related to the release of the 5th Edition Foundations Guide. I have already had one call about the layout and I am really excited about the changes, I hope you will be too! The guide will be changing to a vertical format and there will be one page per day allowing for a lot more white space to make notes and write down memories. We haven't specifically discussed changes to the content, so I don't have a lot information on that, but from what I have seen, the changes are positive. Please read all the information below as anyone who would like to place a pre-order can only do so during the month of January. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Price and Features
The new Foundations Curriculum, 5th Edition, will be regularly priced at $99. We believe you will agree that the value of this product is worth the price because of the many improvements that have been made incorporating your suggestions. One of the biggest enhancements is the provision of more white space. The new edition incorporates one week of content per page, instead of the former two weeks per page, creating a thicker book but with a lot more space for notes. Parents, as the primary teacher, will enjoy this white space for creating notes which makes for more restful teaching. The extra space was also considered for Directors, tutors and parents as they prepare and plan supplies, review games, book/library lists, favorite activities, and/or song tunes. We also included new or improved resources, such as a year-at-a-glance calendar and more content that fleshes out the hands-on science and fine arts.

Foundations Guide, 4th Edition, Purchasers
Families who purchased the Foundations Guide, 4th Edition, after February 24, 2017, will receive special instructions for placing their order online only. January 16-31, the $25-off coupon can be redeemed on the introductory price of $75, making their price $50 plus free shipping. Due to the uniqueness of this purchase, these families will not be able to place their order with your group order. Families who have this special coupon of $25 will only be able to use it online (not redeemable with BSR) and will have through December 31, 2018, to place their order with free shipping. However, starting February 1, they will receive $25 off the regular price of $99.
The President Trump Card
Another timely item is the updated Presidents Timeline card for President Donald Trump. This card will automatically be included with the Foundations Curriculum, 5th Edition, for those who order it by April 30. This card will be available to purchase as a standalone for $1 for those who do not purchase the 5th Edition. The new card will also be added to the Classical Acts & Facts®History Cards: Modern World timeline set on its next printing (and its inclusion will then be indicated on the cover of the set).
Landing Page for 5th Edition
There will be a special landing page for all ongoing 5th Edition communications which will be shared with you via an eblast before Christmas. This landing page will be similar in function to the recent landing page for the Cartography book. This landing page will be where the pre-order information for individuals is shared, along with other intriguing details and communications between now and when the 5th Edition begins shipping. So, you will want to sign up there to stay in the loop when it is announced!
