My older kids have just finished easy peasy government but they went fast as we had covered some of it!!! We love rabbit trails and I always make a list incase we can’t get to the questions I get and then we get back to these rabbit trails!!! Easy peasy just covered US government tho!!!

We do science then history I’m a block so we stay on the subject till we finish the curriculum then we bring in history as we don’t do them at the same time!!! We tried to do history this year as well as science but we put history down!!! We unschool geography and it works well for us!!! My older daughter often asks where certain places are and in our health and nutrition science we are learning foods from different places in the world!!! We found it we prefer science and we can use geography as social studies and I want my kids to have a good feel of the world and the history I want my kids to learn from!!! We still start our homeschool day with a surf!!! We do Bible daily even if it’s not a homeschool day!!! I don’t care about pacing!!!

Do you have any homeschool schedule tips, tricks or ideas to share?

We are on our 8th homeschool year but I had to do the math!!! My older kids want a slower high school period!!! We are classical homeschoolers but we mix styles as well!!! Charlotte Maison was a classical teacher!!! I love teaching science!!! We hate textbooks!!! I’m enjoying teaching Hebrew as well!!! I have teenagers and I’m learning I can’t live without discussing!!! They don’t always want to anymore!!! I’m a night owl and my older daughter was a night owl at 1!!! She’s never liked going to bed!!! I love coffee!!! I plan in a flexible way!!! I love surfing and pets!!!

Hello, This was a fun video. I hope you enjoy! Tell me more about yourself!

My older kids are learning Greek God’s!!! We love TGTB language arts still!!! I feel their writing varies but i don’t have a issue with it!!! We loved TGTB Chemistry!!! We loved the door of science book!!! We read it in beautiful feet science history!!! We are finishing off that curriculum with the modern history and we switched one of the books a few times!!! We use different maths per kid!!! We love TGTB math!!! I love that they have a few ways of doing a math topic!!!

How did your first week go?

My son wants to learn piano this year since my husband found a Electronic Keyboard at a yard sale for $40. So, I think we will try the Hoffman Academy this year. Thank you for including the link!

I really liked how this curriculum looked until I saw the Apologia spine 😩 how are you adjusting that?

Im not that organised!!! We go thru a periodic table book often!!! We have a old book on Issac Newton I got from masterbooks!!! Before we homeschooled I didn’t kno that older picture books existed!!! We are studying agricultural science so the cow to milk book sounds awesome!!! We are still reading the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin!!! We are obsessed with space and my high schoolers are doing Star Wars for literature credit!!! We loved the Thomas Edison who was books and I discussed the light sources with my kids before a light bulb!!! We loved the who was Albert Einstein book!!!

This label maker has become my new homeschool organizing obsession! amzn.to/3YTKyuA

Health is a subject in our sate and idk if psychology is health or science!!! I have a kid who says she isn’t ture to herself!!! It’s ture that sometimes we have to find another option!!! I feel health books should be read together and discussed!!! Nothing wrong with going slowly!!! Slow and constant is an awesome approach!!! We do bible as I feel it’s needed as a Christian family!!! In our state guidance is a subject so career subjects and preparing for the future but it’s for high school and I don’t see a problem doing it early but when my kids are ready!!!

This yr I bought art kits and supplies to see what happens!!! We love Gentle and classical morning virtues especially for looking at art!!! We Travel for sports comps with my work so we find doing ourselves is better!!! We studied the last supper painting recently and spoke about the story telling!!! I prefer self paced courses!!! We haven’t done Shakespeare and I have a jr in Highschool so I doubt my oldest will study Shakespeare!!!

We are doing agricultural science this year and I still have a kid doing chemistry!!! I have a request for astronomy but idk if we’ll get to it this year!!! We love guest hollow and we shelved their botany as we struggled with botany as a subject!!! Rabbit trails are needed!!! We are going thru Ben Franklin‘s autobiography from a audiobook!!! Our agricultural science has a nature stand!!! We have been looking for yellow flowers and we’ve been hearing of a yellow flower that is only in Hawaii so been spotting it as we walk around our area as we are out of the city!!!

We love covering locations and cultures!!! We cover the place!!! As Christians we also focus on mission, both history and possible mission as idk if my kids will have a future there!!! Next summer we will be on Greece so we will study Greek geography and culture!!! We did us geography last year and we are learning our new local geography and cultures including surf culture!!!

We dabble with history and love it!!! I see the yr curriculum as a rough history!!! We loved learning about the Roman Empire and Greek empire!!! We loved the Middle Ages!!! We loved learning the Greek and Roman God’s!!! Nothing wrong with rabbit trails!!! We are discussing the election again this year and my older kids say the weather comes from the U.S to the U.K. but voting is over way round!!! They remember that fact from when we lived in the U.K.!!!

Can’t wait to see how you combine the two (CC and LoL)!!

We are doing Middle Ages this year too! We will be using Building Your Library, and she uses History Quest this year. Next year she will be using Story of the World. I've never used that curriculum, so I don't know if I will use it or something else.

We are doing Beowulf LA and Grammar too! My son is on TGTB LA.

In Japan we bought lunches to eat on the beach from the convenience store and it was awesome and easy!!! We try to do the same thing when possible as it was fun!!! We are loving shaved ice but I check it out for dyes!!! We love plain crackers or rice cakes with vegimite!!! We have a international supplement near our house so we get Aussie snacks there!!! We love sea weed!!! Our last dog got obsessed with it as well!!! We love hummus!!! I’m not seeing much healthy bar snacks so far since living in the states but we’ve only been here for a few days!!! My older daughter calls breakfast bars breakfast biscuits and she started calling it that as a toddler!!!

😊

We really enjoy the who was books 🤗

New subscriber here! We love TGTB in my family - this year I’m using it for my preschooler, math and LA for my 3rd and 1st graders, and some science units as well 🤗

Love your videos and how you present your info! Thank you!

My kids hate language arts but reading they love!!! We love TGTB language arts!!! I pace it differently to each of my kids!!! My older kids are doing research projects for social studies and I count that as writing!!! I work on Greek and Latin roots and my kids understand way more vocabulary!!! Nothing wrong with messy handwriting!!! We have the old TGTB level 3 readers and we love the biographies!!! We read what was the Plage and it was ok!!! We’ve been to Robin Hood county when we lived in the U.K.!!! We love audiobooks!!!

We use MWC and Beast Academy (we do use online version bc they have videos for each lesson and the comic books)! Love them both!! We just did a month at a time to try it out, and while challenging my kids absolutely love it! It’s so different (in the best way) from most of the “traditional” programs out there!

We love hands on math!!! We struggled with math as it wasn’t engaging!!! I encourage my kids to do math in real life as well!!! My older kids love TGTB math videos but my younger kids don’t get the math videos as they start in level 4!!! I love that TGTB teaches different methods as that helped me as a kid and I see it helps my kids as they learn differently!!! We are trying BA!!! Idk how it will work!!! I teach currency in math but no other money topics!!!

What are your thoughts on math? I love it (accounting major) but, I'm not a huge fan of teaching it.

We love biographies!!! My older kids love doing a online class for writing!!! With dyslexic kids we have to go over phonics with my older kids!!! When shopping I use it as a opportunity for math practice!!! We have an international move this yr and will be travel schooling from feb as we will have the 1st 2 comps in our new home next to our house!!! Our geography is thru experience!!! We are looking at bringing in logic and we already do bible!!!

I think you keep getting better at your videos. I hope you don’t mind me saying.

I swear I'm the same way about books ❤

I don’t think it’s legal to homeschool without DK books 😂 We have City Through Time and my kids love that one.

I also have the school nest history timeline book I’m planning to use with my son as we go through world history. That ancient wonders then and now book looks really fun and interesting. From the Child’s Introduction to… series we have the art and orchestra books and we really like them and recommend them.

We have a lot of eBooks!!! We love the who was books!!! I love that the history ones have a timeline!!! We have a lot a Dinosaur books and I’m going to do a read aloud with my older kids with one but we haven’t got to it yet!!! We love TGTB shared readers!!! I love them for all my kids as I can help them improve their phonics skills!!! The human body theatre looks awesome!!!

What are some of your favorite books of the year?

We used gentle and classical morning virtues and we just looked at the art prints randomly and I think it’s working for us!!! Music we outsourced and I believe it went well!!! My teenagers do independently and I have to ask!!! We did a lot of art and crafts!!! We’ve seen a lot of cave paintings and when we get home in September I want to go to see our local tribal cave paintings!!! My kids are excited that they are close to where we live!!! Living in Australia means we get to see cave paintings!!!

Did you have a good year with art & music?

I’ve been making sure we have summer supplies from January as we have been at the beach a lot from January!!!! I had a green coffee fruit drink tonight!!! My older kids wanted a normal iced coffee tho!!! I’m obsessed with my fragrance oils and essential oils!!! My gals are obsessed with nail polish, I buy the colours we choose when we buy them!!! I’ve not used it for a while as I couldn’t be bothered!!! I’m also short and my older daughter is taller than me!!! We had a pet tamer brush for our last dog!!! He loved it and he hated being brushed so for our new kitten we will get her the same brush!!!

Gluten? Gelatin?

We dug into our country and Canada!!! We did mapping!!! When we dug into Australia I felt like we missed out on a lot especially of cultures due to hidden information!!! We discuss seasons and the hemispheres when we travel!!! I work with a guy from South Africa and my kids have learned a lot from taking to him!!! We listen to stories of the holocaust from survivors often!!!

Essentials in Writing is open and go, and has short 5 minute video lessons and short activities.

I got the first Writing & Rhetoric to start with my daughter after tons of research. I also got Share your Story which is then writing their own story with short funny videos

We haven’t finished our history books yet. We started reading a book we couldn’t read in October due to doing so much. I just wrote it in my planner to come back to that book after reading stuff on that part of history!!! We studied art history a couple of years ago and we went to see some cave art!!! We use our student notebook for HBL as a conversation starter!!! We use books of centuries that we’ve been using for a few years!!! We see the times better with our timelines!!! We love our books of centuries and this year we found that we didn’t need to add certain things as we had put it in!!! My older kids hate Greek mythology but I make them learn it!!! My younger kids will do it in middle school!!! Just the way we do it as a family!!! I don’t want them doing it before middle school!!!

Love this video!! Thank you for sharing all the books you loved (literally going to buy them all)!! ❤️❤️

I love adding in writing assignments for different subjects like science or history!!! We haven’t found a good writing curriculum but we use a class that uses writing with numbers!!! The classical one may be a high level!!! We haven’t used night zoo keeper!!!

What are you using for writing? What are the pros & cons/ Thanks, Sara

We had some science flops too! But we still had a lot of fun with what we did. Science Mom for my oldest was a game changer for sure!

I love linking curriculum together!!! We loved TGTB health and physical body!!!! They suggest adding books!!! We love guest hollow but not used their anatomy yet!!! We love our DK human body books!!! We have 2 at different levels!!! We started a weather unit but decided to do natural weather learning thru travel schooling!!! We finished off with science chunks sound!!! Nothing wrong with spending a year on human body!!!

I feel you on the library issues. We’ve had similar thing issues. We are 15-20 minutes away from ours and we don’t often go in that direction. I find we just don’t go unless I’m intentional about it
