We do exactly this now; one unit at a time. It works so much better for us!

We're doing both this year because of your videos! We are starting with Vikings by GRH and I let my kids pick 1 from Campfire. They picked the Veterinarian unit. We're going complete 1 GRH unit and then 1 campfire letting my kids choose each Campfire unit. So far so good!

This answered my questions perfectly. We are in our second school year of GRH and I just heard of Campfire. I absolutely think this will be the perfect addition between units to get some hands on stuff happening without overloading our days. Thank you.

Very helpful, thank you! I have a middle schooler that would looove the vet unit but I've been trying to figure out how to do this as core like GR. I like the idea of taking a short break and doing these in between GR units! Perfect!

The great thing about Campfire are the Core Connections. In the Core Connections you will find language arts and history for the Vet unit.

This was really helpful. I'm new to learning about Campfire. I'm in my second year of GR and I absolutely LOVE it. It sounds like Campfire is mainly about doing hands-on activities. I need to look into it more and surf your videos for more information. Thank you!

So good! Thank you! I've been looking for a video like this! We're going to be doing GR oceans through the summer and I was thinking we'd pair it with island life, pirates and volcanology. I hadn't quite figured out how we'll go about it. We haven't done a campfire unit yet.

I love this buffet idea ❤ my oldest is 5 and we will have to legally homeschool in our state next year. So I’ve had to take a serious look at what was required and ideas on how to do it. I’m loving this student lead approach and how you planned was super helpful. Thank you!

We also use both and enjoy the differences between the two! They really do compliment each other well. Some other pairings that would be great: North America + The First Thanksgiving Indigenous Peoples + The First Thanksgiving Creepy Crawlies + Beekeeper Australia and Oceania + Island Life or Volcanology Independence Day + US History 2 Valentines Day + Psychology US History 3 and 4 + Military National Parks (not out yet) + Camping We have paired the GRH mini units with the CC units and they are much more doable than pairing up a full unit. If we have a full unit, then we do CC after the unit is complete too.

Oh my goodness! Those are great pairings! I knew someone would come up with pairs I haven’t even thought about.

@ewalanger5415 2 жыл бұрын

We have tried both and my kids tend to lean towards Gather Round Homeschool more as the like “get workbooks done as quickly as possible with no extra projects “ 🤪That being said, I do want to do the Volcanology and Professional Chef units in full now that my youngest is older and more independent. We were quite excited for Volcanology and then realized a lot of the hands on activities wouldn’t work in blizzard conditions lol so we are waiting for spring ! The problem is “I” like all the units so I get them and now have a whole GR and Campfire library downstairs 🤣

@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife 2 жыл бұрын

That is my problem too. I like all of the units.

Hi Ashlea! Do you have a list compiled of the GR units that pair really well with CC? I'd be interested in your suggestions if you do.

@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife 2 жыл бұрын

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head: GR Earth Science-CC Volcanology, CC Storm Chaser and Meteorology GR Botany-CC Square Foot Gardening, Natural Medicine, CC Beekeeper GR Human Body-CC ER Life, CC Natural Medicine GR Careers and Trades-CC ER Life, CC Storm Chaser and Meteorology, CC Veterinarian, CC Military, CC Professional Chef, CC Photography GR Artists-CC Professional Chef, CC Photography

When campfire comes out with there car maintenance unit that will pair well with Transportation from Gather round. I’m also hoping to do chemistry with my oldest in the fall and maybe pair with the storm chaser that is not out yet. Just a few I had jotted down. Thanks for the tips!
