What homeschool curriculum are you loving right now?
For us, Denison Math has been #1 for both my 8th and 10th graders!
@@homeschoolteenswithjenny I haven't heard of that one. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
@@JanelleKnutson It was created for struggling math learners, but it's really great for kids who just don't like math too. We did Pre-Algebra and Geometry between both kids, and they love math now!
@@homeschoolteenswithjenny that’s awesome! Thanks again for sharing.😃
My favorites this year are Math With Confidence for my 3rd grader and Denison Algebra for my 9th grader. I am thankful we have found something that works for both of them, and that we are actually enjoying math! I am not a mathy person, so that is surprising to me. :)
Please never delete this, I want to do exactly this when my kids are in high school, but that won't be for another many years 😄 Thank you so much for sharing, this is a great video!
After 12 years of homeschooling, some of our tried-and-true favorites are My Father's World Kindergarten, CLE Math in the younger years, Denison Algebra and Geometry for High School, MB Intro to Logic, and Fix It! Grammar. Looking for new bible curriculum for a 7th grade boy next year....
Top favorites would be Denison Pre-Algebra, CLE Math 1, BJU English 3, Memoria Press Enrichment, and World Watch News for our current events.
Love it! Thank you for sharing.
LOVE, love, love, BJU Press online. And agree with everything you said, Janelle. All the subjects are so well done, weave together and have so much bible and biblical worldview.
Agreed! BJU Press video lessons have been such a blessing to my family. And I am loving the new Homeschool Hub!
If it helps anyone, I am a history professor. I put all my lectures on UA-cam as a free resource to help homeschoolers. You can learn the entire history of Western Civ and the History of the Middle East. I did also create unit studies that go along with my videos.
We have enjoyed our BJU video courses.
We have also enjoyed Schole Academy (Classical Academic Press for our traditional homeschool subject too) & Memoria Academy for live online courses.
Yes, we mix traditional Christain education with classical.
Love it! Thank you for sharing.
😊 This last year we did not do BJU Press Bible curriculum which we had done k-3 and I really miss it. I might need to see about starting that again.
I'm so excited to see that you have an Intro to Logic review. I am planning to do this with my 9th grader this year.
It’s a great course!
3rd grade boy's favorite - Nature Reader from Christian Liberty. My favorite for him would be the same. I have LOVED watching his excitement to read it each day
My older kids enjoyed those Nature Readers! I forgot all about them. I’ll have to pull them out for my younger boys. Thanks for sharing!
My two favorite curriculums I’ve found are cle math (Christian light education) and explode the code. Explode the code is probably my boys favorite too, aged 8&9. 😊
10th grade boy's favorite - reading biographies and historical reading assignments. Mine for him - Civics & the Constitution
8th grade boy's favorite - reading books he checks out from the library for daily reading. Mine for him - ACE PACE 8th grade Science. He has learned how to read and answer questions and has grown so much in his comprehension ability
That’s awesome!
I’ve always been intrigued by Bju resources but not sure about going the video route. How long is a typical video lesson and about how long does your middle schooler take to get through a core subject?
Video lesson lengths vary by course. I'd say they average 20 minutes in length plus reading and/or assignment. Today, her Bible lesson was 18 minutes and it took her 10 minutes to read the lesson.
I'm considering BJU English 4 next year for my youngest, and I keep looking at their curriculum for other subjects too. :) For 7th grade BJU Life Science, does your daughter do any hands-on experiments at home?
The curriculum has labs/hands-on experiments that are suggested but she did not do them this year. Since she is in middle school, labs are not necessary (for our homeschool). That being said, my older daughter took the life science course and did most of the labs because she had an interest in doing them, we had the money to invest in the lab supplies, and we had the time that year to do the labs.
Look into Generations Homeschool for Bible
We will be using some Generations curriculum next year for literature. I haven't tried their Bible curriculum yet. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@JanelleKnutson it's a great curriculum
We really love Denison Algebra. It has been a game changer for my 11th grade son.
Thank you for sharing!
My 9th and 11th graders also (Denison Algebra 1 and Geometry)
Hi Janelle, You mentioned that you really loved seventh grade Bible course from BJU. Would you recommend that would be a course that I could teach all of my kids with for the year? I currently have a seventh grader, fourth grader, first grader, preschooler for the school year. Obviously, they will move up a grade next year.) Appreciate your thoughts, opinion, feedback!
BJU Press Math and fix it grammar, CLE Reading
Some of my favorites as well (BJU math and Fix It Grammar). I haven't tried CLE Reading. Thanks for sharing!
BJU science and heritage studies for grades 1-6 were my favorite! I miss that stage so much!
My favorite thing that we have done this year has been our history. I have chosen engaging books to read and gone in chronological order starting at creation. With my elementary children, we have made a couple of lap books and put a timeline on the wall. We're probably going to end the year at the Roman Empire. This has brought history so much to life for both myself and my kids. I don't think we will ever forget many of the things we have studied this year.
That sounds wonderful! What a great way to study history.
Biblioplan history and CLE LA and Math.
Hi Janelle! So good to see you!
Thank you for this-I love hearing about different curriculums! What Bible course or book would you suggest for a 10 year old boy who is struggling to understand grace vs. works? Thank you! :)
This book ( amzn.to/3vXiqud ) was a good starting point with my own kids. It's a picture book by RC Sproul. Helped get the discussion started and has some parent discussion points/verses in the back.
my favorite BJU is Basics for a Biblical Worldview 6th we took it slow it brought up so many great conversations and helped my kids see things from a birds eye view i highly recommend
That one sounds amazing! I didn’t realize they had that parent-led Bible course. Something to consider for upcoming kids. Thanks for sharing!
I see that there is a student edition of “Changed into His Image.” Do you know what the difference is? How did you choose which one to get?
I went with the original one for several reasons. 1. I already had the book 2. it has more content 3. I knew the teen reading it would enjoy and benefit from it and would be able to handle the reading/comprehension level
Here is a post from the author on how the student edition differs from the original: www.jimberg.com/blog/2020/8/7/changed-into-his-image-2nd-student-edition-just-released
BJU Press 4 Math & English!
Yay! Love BJU Press curriculum!
