I’ll go first:
I’m Christina. I’m married to my best friend, Seth, we have 5 kids (ages 2, 4, 7, 11, & 14), and love our family, Jesus, and adventuring together.
We are passionate about being counter culture, including alternatives to traditional schooling. I have experience as a public school teacher, private school teacher, and homeschool mom!
I love the Charlotte Mason education approach, and many others, but I’d say we are more of an eclectic homeschool-mixing the different aspects of homeschool styles that we love-living books, literature-based learning, Montessori, nature study, and so much more!
Whether you are considering homeschooling, new to homeschooling, considering alternative ways to educate your child, or just looking for some encouragement and inspiration for your motherhood journey, I hope you feel welcome and encouraged here 🤍

I am doing the GATB course with middle schoolers/high schoolers at our co-op. It is definitely fine for those ages. They like the games and journaling (they all also give ridiculous accessories and colorful clothing to the founding fathers 😂). Everything for older kids doesn’t have to be writing research papers and other rigorous (and boring) work. I have a degree in political science and have learned a few things I didn’t know. **If anyone is interested in how to fit the course into a co-op setting and still cover everything, I have the kids pre-read the Constitution and the chapter book at home. We do all the other parts in class.

Can you tell me more about how you did it at a coop? Could it work once a week for 24weeks?

Thanks for this video! I just ordered TGATB US constitution unit, but I’ll save it for when my kids are older and will get more out of it! 🇺🇸We’ve done GR US History 1-3 mini units and they are great!

So important for our children to have knowledge of the way our government was formed and the beliefs of the men who wrote it

We just finished TGTB Constitution course! Started in September. I think it is a better fit for older kids as well, definitely wasn’t below my 9th grader and some of it was a bit above my 4/5th grader.

That seems to be the consensus!

I snagged the pdf when it was free on their site (not sure if it still is) and then just purchased the read aloud and student Journal. We have yet to start it since my eldest is only in 3rd grade so I’ll probably wait until all of my kiddos are older, but I’m so happy to have it for when that time comes. We are absolutely a Good and Beautiful loving family🖤

We've the GRH government and it was definitely a good place to start, but we are halfway through TGTB unit and honestly, we have enjoyed it much more. The novel makes a HUGE difference and I love that I don't even have to read it, I can just go to the website and have it read out-loud for us! Bonus! :)

Hey Christina! Thank you so much for reviewing this curriculum! I have been looking into the good and the beautiful US Constitution. I had no idea that you read the whole constitution which is super awesome! I appreciate your honesty and this really helped me determine if my fourth grader was ready for this curriculum. Thanks for sharing!😃

I’ve had US Constitution unit ever since it came out. I can’t wait to do it with my child. I’m just waiting for him to get older. I’ve come to learn after using several GR units, the teachers guide are good to use for reference, but not for actually teaching a subject.

I would love more videos about gather round. We love them. What units would you recommend for early readers and lower elementary?

We just finished the good and the beautiful constitution unit. It definitely took us a year. We didn’t break up the lessons, but since it takes around an hour to do each lesson, we only really got to it 1-2 times a week. It is very in depth like you said. I used it for my 5th and 8th graders along with younger ones doing some of the coloring activities and games as well. I agree with this being more for older children especially Highschool. We will be doing it again in a few years since a lot of it went over their heads even though I have a child that loves history. Definitely recommend for highschool. We did really enjoy it especially the audio version of the book! The kids were so excited and loved the ending! (No spoilers, but they really enjoyed it) I enjoyed your review on the gather round version, I was curious on how in depth it was.

Thank you so much for this review. It is really helpful. Do you think this GATB constitution and government study would be good to do as a co-op? We have an only child and love doing some studies with other homeschool families to do group learning as well as socializing. Any thoughts would be helpful. 😊
