Send all the books by post so I don't have to by them

We are switching to Apologia science this year as well, I'm so excited. My daughter is doing land animals for 3rd, I plan on flying creatures for 4th. You'll have to let us know how you like it. We also love mind benders, so enjoyable! I'm definitely going to look in to fix it grammar, that would be a great addition for us.

I would recommend starting Explode the Code 1 about half way through All About Reading 1. 😊 I love your picks. I used Primer, AAR and Explode the Code when my daughter was in Kindergarten. 😊

Thank you for this video. I am definitely going to read Teaching from Rest and The Life Giving Table 👍🏻

I am going to have an upcoming 1st and 3rd grader. Which Christian Heros books would you recommend for younger ones who may be a little sensitive?

I’ve been thinking about getting some of these books and reading them. Thanks for sharing! 😊

Is this apologetics book the one you would suggest starting with or was there one that would be better for a second grader to begin with me reading aloud? Thanks so much and blessings!

Hi friend. I was so excited to hear about Mama Bear Apologetics. I did hear one negative review for it , but I still purchased it recently. It's coming up for me as soon as I am done with my current books, but I was so glad to hear you loved it. Teaching my little girl apologetics is so important to me. Great recommendations. Thank you for sharing these. 🙏☺️💗💕

I would love an updated 2024-2025 video just like this one!!

Are there different versions of this guide? I got mine used, and while the cover is the exact same, the inside is entirely different. Now I'm wondering if I got an older version 😭

Please share your favorite reads!!

We love explode the code. It helps my daughter with reading and spelling, as a supplement.

I would like to hear what you are reading!

Thanks for sharing!! Love history. Do the picture books come with the lesson book? Sorry if I missed that in the video😊.

You’ve sold me on this curriculum! I have been looking at it for years, but always a bit skeptical. This flip through helped tremendously! Thank you!

We love Math-U-See. My daughter will be on Epsilon next year. Yay, fractions. 😂 We are on Fix It! Grammar level 1. My daughter really likes it. 😊

Sounds as though you incorporated several different “brands” within TGTB. I’m very new to H.S. Will be H.Sing a second grader. She loves to read and reads well. Also does really well with math however her writing skills need work. Would she be too young to do the one your 4th grader will be doing?

We hope you enjoy Flying Creatures, thanks for sharing :)

Also, math games: Pete the Cat Cool Cat Math Game, Sum Swamp, and Inchimals is cool for introducing measurements.

Would love to see the history books!

The explode the code halves are just a continuation of the book before it. So it's extra practice of your child isn't ready for the next level. We have done level 1, 2, 3, and 4 and all the halves in between and that's what I have noticed from using them.

Homeschool ❤ Thanks for sharing your great picks!

I do both All about Reading and Explode the Code. 🙂 Usually for Kindergarten my kids do AAR 1 and Get Ready for the Code A-C. We use Explode the Code as review since A-C would be a bit easier than than AAR1. I like to use it as independent work though and I have them do it at the same time they do handwriting. Once they finish C I have them go ahead and move into book 1. It's worked really well for us to help solidify the phonics!

Looks like a fun year! Thanks for sharing:) Some fun math games for kindergarten…jump 1 and clumsy thief jr by melon rind are great. Rat-a-tat cat…tiny polka dot…and sum swamp are also great ones!

Hey sweet mama! Just subscribed. Thank you for sharing your curriculum picks . Hope you have a wonderful year! 🙏☺️

You can make beautiful feet books curriculum a lot more affordable by buying the guide (I found mine cheaper on rainbow resource) and then buying the books second hand. We are doing the k-3 geography course. I have found some of the KZfaq videos they suggest to not seem to exist. A QR code would be nice. But overall it’s great. Advanced for age ranges suggested for sure. My geography loving 4th grader loves it!

Welcome back! 🎉 I hope you are doing well, sweet friend. ❤

I have been back and forth about trying beautiful feet but I might give it a try.

I have an upcoming 4th grader too! We are in Indiana too!

😊

We loved the BF early American History. We wanted to do middle ages this year but BF doesn't have an elementary graded course. We're going to try Biblio Plan

Flip through of planner. Please 😊

We love CLE for reading 🎉 great wholesome stories and very good workbooks for comprehension and vocabulary and so on...

I would love to see a video on how you implement a lesson in Beautiful Feet! I purchased this set a few years ago, but when I tried to use it, I felt like I didn't know how to do a lesson.

Yay!! I've been waiting for you to share your homeschool picks!

Hi! With AAS, do you feel just following the teacher’s manual for instruction is enough? Or do you also utilize the new student activity book and cards (phonogram, rule, etc)? I am so interested in this program just for the explicit instruction but really want to keep it simple without all the rule cards and such. However, I am worried that because the program is designed to utilize those things it might not ‘stick’ without them.

What did you switch to

I’m just starting to learn about homeschooling. Like just discovering it and exploring it. I really appreciate your video and am on board for what you’re about! Thanks definitely going to check out more of your videos when I have more time to really pay attention! The kids are asleep finally so I’m able to watch this video uninterrupted and can put all my focus into it. Take care ❤

Why not just skip the stories and teach the main portion of the math?

Oh, no. I just purchased their math & LA after watching lots of videos on it. I will figure out a way to make it work. It will be our first year using both their math & LA. My son loves games.

I noticed you don’t have more recent videos… I would LOVE an update on how these curriculum choices are going for your 3rd grader!

Do you know if students will do good on state tests with this math program? We live in NY

I really love the maths curriculums Japan Math and Simply Charlotte Mason. I agree that we need things to be analytical, and I love that they both have manipulatives.

Any curriculum I have used has positives and negatives. Concerning math, I found many videos on youtube that explained a concept in a different way that might be better for my kiddos. The same goes for English concepts like the parts of speech, figurative language, grammar. etc.. The internet is such a blessing.

Hi, is MUS still working for you? Im considering it after using a combo of Math With Confidence and TGTB math.

Same reason switching asap. I don't like that Math at all, jumping here and there no more than that. After about 4 lessons i was so disappointed

It's just not working for us either, neither the Math nor their Lang. Arts

We love TGATB! It works for my family!

We just finished both the Answers for Kids and also One Blood for Kids. Both were so very good! I have The Ology and 24 Family Ways on the shelf and hope to do those this year. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these great resources. We’ve also really enjoyed the More Than Words curriculum put out by Master Books as well as some Not Consumed studies.

Where’s your bookshelf from?
