If you have a question about a specific G+C resource, just ask! I may have a video all about it to share :) Here's my affiliate link for their shop (I appreciate it so much when you all use my links to shop with--it definitely helps me and my family out!): shopgentleclassical.com?aff=24

One of my favorite aspects of Gentle and Classical curriculum is ALL of the front reading! i truly enjoy it and was even brought to tears reading it for the first time. so much value and inspiration, even before getting into the curriculum itself! Great video, thank you!

Yes, the reading is well worth doing! It will inspire and encourage us for the task ahead.

Ahhhhh... just like the pirates code! Perfect. (This is what I thought of immediately when you said the world "guidelines")

I couldn't resist the reference. It was absolutely necessary.

This curriculum sounds perfect for overseas homeschool parents.

It's more accessible than many other curriculums that don't offer so much in digital format.

@RockSimmer-gal4God Жыл бұрын

I didn’t know they offer curriculums for older kids!!! I’m checking them out!!! I’m glad I read the front matter for sonlight!!! Digital resources are awesome!!! We love memory work!!! We prefer Flashcards to displaying them!!!

@SevenInAll Жыл бұрын

I think that a lot of people don't realize that they have curriculum offerings for bigger kids! I'm looking forward to using some of those resources as my boys grow.

I love the print quality! Especially for On-Mission and Morning Virtues!

@SevenInAll Жыл бұрын

I have heard nothing but good things about their print quality! And I think especially with the color of the art prints and magazine--it would be worthwhile to buy print. But--with many G+C users living overseas...I'm really glad that they always offer digital options!

Thanks for making this video. We really enjoy using the preschool and love that alot of the books are available on KZfaq! Great for overseas mamas. Congrats on being an affiliate with them. So fun. Also this is a great video for me to share with other moms who ask about g&c.

@SevenInAll Жыл бұрын

Yes, digital curriculum and KZfaq read alouds are a lifesaver for overseas homeschoolers! Thanks so much, Stacey, yes, I hope this video can be a helpful resource for those who are interested in G+C but are still trying to wrap their minds about how it all works--I definitely appreciate it if you can share it with those who might benefit!

All of the books are just beautiful and worth buying!

@SevenInAll Жыл бұрын

Yes, my library has grown significantly, with many titles from our G+C programs. The first time we went through Preschool, I bought it right after it released and didn't have a chance to buy many physical books, so we did mostly KZfaq read alouds. This time, I knew I would do Preschool again with my younger son, so last time we visited the US, I bought all of our favorite books so that we'd get to read them 'in real life'. I'm excited to do it again with the actual books! :)

Great video! This is my all time favorite curriculum company. It's worth mentioning that if you buy the print version you also get the pdf version, so if something gets lost or damaged or you need extras you can easily print more out. Also, while I do appreciate open and go curriculums, I love how this is set up because I never feel like I'm getting behind if we take some extra time on a subject or the inevitability of life happening forces us to take a break. Thank you for all the great advice!

@SevenInAll Жыл бұрын

Yes, the fact that you get digital resources when you order print is great, especially if you're planning on re-using with multiple kids!

@ClowPow Жыл бұрын

Great video, as always!! ❤ We love G+C and also find the memory statement cards make implementing the program seamless while keeping my preschoolers highly engaged! It’s such a gem!

Yes, those memory statement cards have been a part of our homeschool from the very beginning! I love their resources!

Does this pair well with sonlight without being too much. I have 4 kids 8, 6, 5, and 2. And will be doing 2 sonlight cores, one with the 8 y.o. and another one with the 6 and 5 y.o

@SevenInAll Жыл бұрын

So would you be thinking of G+C Preschool for your little one? Or what resources from Gentle + Classical are you thinking of using? I suppose that would be my first question. They have a Nature science program that could pair with Sonlight...but I'm not sure which program you're thinking of, if I have the details of the Sonlight program and Gentle + Classical program you're thinking of pairing, I can give you a better answer!
