I'm glad I found a good secular curriculum for my daughter. There wasn't much in the way for secular homeschooling when my mom homeschooled me so I'm so excited!

Layers of learning has been amazing for us for history and geography! I also like story of the world in combo with it and I make my own portions of the curricullum for parts of history that are largely or totally excluded, so the Bronze Age-medieval age for Nordic history, indigenous history for the IS and Canada, and we are hoping to add what we can. There is nearly no Slavic history prior to the point where it impacts America in curricullum so I hope to add that as well

I'm thinking I'm going to vol 1 for my 2.5 and 5 in August year olds. They're on about the same level with letters. My 2.5 year old seems to be a tad ahead of the almost 5 year old

Is this template still available?

Thank you so much. I speak French and I am starting homeschool this year and was eager to teach my children French but was wondering about resources. I will check out all those link😊

Do you have a video about your river of voices curriculum?

This was SO helpful! I have a 3 and almost 5 year old and it's not surprising since kids vary so much. But they're about at the same level. 😂 Kids are funny creatures. I am SO looking forward to this journey ♥️

I bet plumb paper would partner with yall to create a B&R homeschool planner or even a general one for HS families :)

Thank you for the wonderful and rich video... and love bedtime baskets too.

I love this

I wish I'd watch this before buying. When my infant gets older she can use volume one, but I think I'm going to combine my two children and just use the older ones curriculum. Thanks for this video!

I needed to see this video to help me not overthink the curriculum.

Honestly I am twenty three learning like this 😂😂

I have a 2.5 year old and 4.5 year old. The 2.5 year olds is nowhere near ready to learn letter sounds but the 4.5 year old is just getting interested now. So I’m thinking of just starting with 1 and then adding some vol 2 stuff too. Idk, I bought both so we’ll see how it goes

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you for this. I am trying to figure out how to introduce Spanish to my son and your list of ideas is super helpful because I have been trying to figure out how to structure something without a curriculum (as Talkbox.Mom hasn't worked for us yet and I haven't found anything else that feels like what I want).

Thank you.Very informative.

This is so encouraging to try these resources, it's so difficult to find language courses for the wee ages :)

I grew up in Japan yet my children are reaistent to Japanese. But they love French and so we have decided to learn as a family. It is SO difficult for me because Japanese comes naturally for me but French sounds awful coming from me!!!! UA-cam has been a savior!

Math in the garden is great to.

Verbose and not helpful. Waste.

My little one has just turned 5 and does not write or read yet. Is the 2nd volume still good for her or would you recommend a different one? She is currently in a private Montessori but we have lots of breaks for various holidays and I want to have some structured time with her. Thanks!

I just discovered your videos, and they are wonderful! Please do a video on how you've covered each continent along the way. I'd love to know what you did and what you plan to do for each. So helpful! Thank you!!!

Great video! Thanks :)

I just began using your second grade curriculum and will be starting the kindergarten with my youngest soon. It is so great and I can't wait to keep learning from you on here too! 💕

This is a wonderful approach. Thanks for sharing! I’ve been overwhelmed trying to think how to do geography, as a new homeschooler (& full time single mama) our plate is already full. I think I am going to use Blossom and Root River of voices for history, so perhaps our first continent will be North America. If you do more Africa units, I had a friend in high school teach me a children’s song in Swahili. I always remembered it. Thanks to UA-cam I was able to find it! This might be a fun thing to add if singing is fun for your littles. ua-cam.com/video/kY0VucZrgWA/v-deo.html

My son is reading and spelling, I can't find anything for him that helps him grow his skills while still being age appropriate. He is 4.

Is there Math in the early years volume 1?

You are amazing! I am a Christian who is unable to find such an culturally aware curriculum within the Christian homeschooling community. That fact makes no sense to me! But your curriculum touches on so many different people groups in such a compassionate and respectful way. I am 1/4 Mexican. My family can be traced back to before New Mexico was US Territory. We also have Native American relatives. So it is important to me that we learn about those people groups as well as African Americans in US History. There is nothing out there like a River Of Voices right now. It’s really special! And I’m seeing the same about the way you do geography. Keep up the good work!

how do you tie this into your B and R years? are they connected or did you just pick a random continent and start? thanks!

I like to add puzzle of the artwork we are studying. I find it's as great way to talk about the artist, the color, the interpretation that we do of his work, etc.

Hello! Do you have the website available you've mentioned in the video for extra practice?

We bought your new history unit and am so excited. Do you have any spines or resources for world history?

Thank you this was very helpful. Looking forward to your future videos, especially those related to teaching French. I ordered from a Canadian based book store called Indigo that has a great selection of French Children's books.

Thank you! Using your curriculum again this year. Also, starting Geography this year, so thanks for the awesome ideas!!

I really like how you write a sticky note for what you would like to do and then write what you did. I do a lot of reverse planning, writing what we did and evaluating what we need to do from there. Planning for the year or the month overwhelms me. The only thing I like to plan ahead is experiments, co-op or any activity we do that requires that. Thanks for the ideas! Beautiful planner!🌷

Hi Kristina, is there something you used to get yourself up to speed on ancient history?

Would you also recommend this for elementary? My girls are 14 months apart, so just one grade level separated. They're rising to third and fourth this year.

In LA, could you find a good cursive alphabet to use? We want to teach cursive first. You could give parents a choice, manuscript or cursive. Even from Kindergarten.

Hi! Don't see the links you mentioned in the video - card game books and website that makes handouts for practice. :-)

Do you have book lists for each continent/country you did? I would pay for that!

Perfectly answered my question! I have a 4.5 year old son and 2.5 year old girl. I will Be using Early Years Volume 2 for him, and will probably use your Volume 1 book list to add to our basket, but otherwise pare down for her lesson as you suggested. Thank you!

So if I have a child in 1st grade and one that's just entering prek, can I use the prek items as maybe morning work for my older kid?

I’ve really enjoyed your videos, more so than any others going over the B&R curriculum. I would love to have more of you talking about your different levels lol. Only because most of the other reviews just show “book hauls” and rarely give more in depth info.

Love these ideas! Only thing I would add is that it's super important to have your kids listen to native French speakers so they can pick up the accent. Try to find French music/songs that are sung by French people. The WhistleFritz CDs while catchy have very English-sounding accents when they sing in French. There are lots on UA-cam if you search for "Francais chansons les enfants".

Great ideas! I’m in a similar boat as I also have a lot of French language background, but I felt overwhelmed trying to decide how to incorporate it into homeschool without any official “curriculum”. I’ve just recently decided to take the plunge and figure it out as we go. So far songs have been a hit, using puppets to talk, and also reading baby books in French.

Love the names😎 I have 3 boys and 1 girl Older two boys are Bryce and Blake😁

can you add links?
