Join me as I walk through my planning procedure for Unit 1 of Gentle + Classical Sequence 1. My goal is to collect all of the books and resources needed for the unit into one central place so that I can access them quickly and easily, and to jot down ideas for extra activities and anything needed for the week.

I love love Gentle and Classical Press and I love your videos! It’s great to see how you plan everything. We have used their Kindergarten Primer and are now doing Sequence 1 for this upcoming year! Keep posting videos like these…very helpful! Love it

So glad that this is helpful! We're starting Unit 7 of Sequence 1 this coming week and it's been a blast thus far!

Honestly… this video was fantastic. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this curriculum, and this was very very helpful. Thank you especially for showing your substitutions and modifications. I want to do that with certain resources without over complicating everything. I just need to find a good spine curriculum guide that I can modify rather than reinventing the wheel. I like memoria press enrichment and I like Sonlight and I like this. So…. lol. More to think about. I like that sequence 1 manages to run a world cultures study along side the more specific US history topic. I also like that long chapter read alouds are scheduled alongside picture books. This is honestly a nice sounding balance. I also like the slower pace of artist and composer studies than what memoria press schedules. I have lots to think about. Thanks!

Yes--I think it's key to find the balance of being able to adapt/add/substitute....WITHOUT letting things get out of hand and doing way more work than necessary...if you know what I mean? When I first looked at Sequence 1, somehow everything just 'clicked' for me as to how I could use it and build off of it. I'm very excited for it!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love how simple you make everything. My planning looks so similar to what you showed here! I am stumped with what I am going to do with my little guys for history and science. We do Classical Conversations for memory work which includes science and history and I am truly in the camp of you don’t need formal history/science curriculum with the littles. But I just want to add more literature for them next year because they LOVE stories/read aloud time. But I’m having a hard time figuring out what to do because, even though I know I don’t NEED formal curriculum at these ages for these subjects, I like having some structure/direction to follow rather than just pulling random books to read. Anyway--maybe your new Kinder curriculum will be just what I need to provide a guided tour of good literature for my little ones next school year! (It doesn’t even have to cover history and science topics! I just want a guide to follow for some good literature!) Oh, we just did American History this year with CC Cycle 3 memory work and it looks like that is covered in Sequence 1? But maybe Seq 1 would still be a good option.

Making things "simple" is definitely how I roll. The Kinder curriculum will have LOTS of stories, but not really any history (I am definitely in the camp of not studying history in kindergarten)...more in the way of science connections because so many great books at that age level seem to be connected to nature. I also very much appreciate having some kind of structure or plan to follow vs. pulling random books to read...I feel like following a plan helps me and the boys read books we probably would have never read otherwise, exposing us to new titles and topics. Also, helps with things just feeling a little more cohesive and not random. I appreciate that. Seq 1 is definitely American history heavy, but not solely focused, there's some other topics from the same time period (I think it's roughly 1400s-1812). You can download the TG for free to see the full booklist.

I’ve really enjoyed the morning menu as well as on mission magazines. We have 5. Thank you for an insight to your planning.

I find the planing a pit quicker as I kno what we are doing and what we are swapping out or not doing now!!! My older kids have their own copies of the cards as I bought the pdf version!!! We’ve just done the Jonah morning virtues and my older kids loved it!!! We are using Aesops fables!!! My older kids are doing the sequence one spelling!!! We use on mission without extra books and we love it!!! My older kids are hearing stories on the Vietnam war!!! I definitely kno what books we are using and what’s in them by now!!!

Yes, I know the planning and prep will get faster and easier as we get into it and find our rhythm.

Do you think a non-calvinist could use the Ology and the catechism statements in sequence 1? We learn Arminian and Anglo-Catholic and I love gentle and classical but wondering; f we would have doctrinal differences with the catechism elements now that they are getting more specific.

@SevenInAll 3 ай бұрын

I lean Arminian myself and am using it, so I definitely think it's possible. Granted, if I bump into something in a resource that teaches something differently, I would use it as a teaching opportunity to explain how this is the way some believers understand Scripture, and this is the way I understand it and here's why. I have not read all of The Ology yet, but the catechism questions stick to pretty basic tenets of faith. You can see them all in the free Teacher Guide if you go through the 36 weeks.

Do you know if there is a Sequence 2 coming?

Yes, from what I have heard, Sequence 2 is expected to release in Summer 2025.

I love Gentle and Classical Press! It's such a beautiful, rich curriculum and as such, it has lots of moving parts! Your videos are super helpful for showing how flexible the curriculum is. It's always useful to see how different families make it work for them. Thank you very much!
