We just started answering absolutely love it! I'm already stressing out about what we will do next year when we run out of weeks 😭🫠
I completely agree that it is better to use a separate resource for all components of LA versus having an all in one. By doing it this way you can select the exact level your child is at for each component. My son can read at a 5th grade level for instance but his grammar is more a 1st or 2nd grade level. It took me a year or two to figure out that an a la cart approach to LA works so much better!!! Thank you for making your videos. It must be hard to fit the time in to make these, especially with working AND homeschooling. Know that your work is appreciated!!! 🙂 I’m so thankful for the YT homeschooling community! ❤
Oops! Forgot the hashtag to enter! 😂 #guesthollow
Thanks so much! I love sharing about homeschool stuff, so it counts as my hobby! Lol I only spend a couple hours a week filing so not too bad.
You are the second person in the last two days that has talked about Guest Hollow. I feel like God is telling me something! :) I had NEVER heard of it before but now I am super intrigued and definitely am going to try this out with my kids. Thank you for sharing about this!! #guesthollow
My first 2 years I wanted a curriculum that told me what to do day by day. This year I started by scratch and created my own. I just bought this LA program on Friday and I am already looking at the schedule and loving that there are so many resources I can pull from but also swap resources.
I absolutely love the approach the Guest Hollow takes when putting together curriculum! It is so thorough, considering how small a company it is!! Love Guest Hollow and the books suggested for each subject. Also, amazed with the yearly link checks for all curriculum.
#guesthollow
I love that this program has so many resources and suggestions. I'm definitely going to look into the program. Are you no longer using G+C or TGTG? I seen you used those. I literally binged watched your UA-cam videos.
So I went to guest and hollow website. I love all their suggestions for books. Have you used the prek one? The anatomy? Omg I love it!
It kind of reminds me of five in a row! Have you used it? Love your video. Real Random: your hair ALWAYS looks great... how and why? Your such a busy working homeschooling mom. (I need to get it together I always look like a hot mess lol)
Thanks for being here!!
We are using G+C with my preschooler! We are really enjoying it but may add on some of the guest hollow prek science!
Never heard of five in a row but I’ll check it out.
So my hair, I have a secret weapon lol I use the Octocurl you can find it on Amazon it’s a no heat curling thing. I’ve been using it for almost a year and it’s a game changer. Keeps my hair curled for days.
Awesome!!! Buying it today!!!
Please do a comparison video of the G+C and TGTB!!!
Love it when a curriculum gives me instruction, but also allows for me to adapt it to my needs. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for offering the giveaway! I just ordered Beowulf grammar based off of your recommendation. I would like to give their other units a try also. So exciting.
We used this curriculum last year and really enjoyed it. The Jolly Postman is a great book. It was one of the first books I got my daughter when she was born. They also have a Christmas edition. #guesthollow
This seems like a neat option. I never knew they had a LA program. I had only briefly heard about their grammar recently too. I really want to give that a try.
I just started using Guest Hollow Language Arts and it’s incredible. I love all of the resources and it’s so FUN! Definitely looking to add in a science and history curriculum from them next year. #guesthollow
After watching both your videos I have decided this is what we’ll be using next year for our homeschool. I am so excited about it and can’t believe I haven’t heard about it before. It looks like it’s going to be the perfect fit for our family. I have found picking and choosing resources from different places is what works best for my kids so that’s another reason I think this curriculum will be so wonderful for us. Thank you so much for diving into this to really explain it to us. #guesthollow
I don’t know how this curriculum isn’t talked about more. We haven’t tried the language arts yet, but I love the customibility it provides. #guesthollow
Congrats @Becca! You are the WINNER! Please email me to claim your $25 Guest Hollow gift card!
#guesthollow
Totally agree about piecing La together and not using an all in one. We’ve use all in one for a couple years and it worked okay (I had to supplement) but this year I knew it was time to start piecing together La for my 5th grader again. I’m not sure this La would work in this season of my homeschool BUT it looks absolutely fantastic for those who can make it work. We will stick with Beowulf for now! We’ve just about completed the first 9 weeks!
This looks so good. I am struggling to find a writing program to get my kiddo introduced and engaged and the story maker looks like a great resource. I have been eyeing Beowulf’s grammar for years now and my kiddos are old enough for it so I am for sure going to look into both of these programs. Thanks for the review.
We are really enjoying Beowulf grammar ☺️
As I’ve gotten more comfortable homeschooling I can now see the benefits of piecing the separate components of LA versus an all in one. This may be what we switch to the next school year ❤, thank you for sharing. #guesthollow
So adaptable. I can definitely see it being a bit overwhelming for the 1st year homeschool parent, like myself though, but in a couple of years I could see myself using this! #guesthollow
#guesthollow
I never thought to try their Lang Arts - love that they include read alouds.
We use their science and history and the schedule is so customizable!
I’m new to your channel and homeschooling. But, thankful God lead me to your knowledge and advice. We started this first homeschooling, school year using TGATB and the last couple of months my 3rd grader has complained when it came to LA’s. Before our Christmas break I told my husband “what do you think about changing curriculum midyear”? When I heard the same words come out of your mouth, I got a great sense of confidence in our homeschooling journey.
Thank you for your knowledge and leadership ❤😊 #guesthollow
So happy you are here!!!! 🫶
I have looked at this curriculum before, but saw that it was a religious company. My homeschool is secular, and so I was wondering how religious it is because this looks amazing!
I don’t believe the curriculum is religious at all. I haven’t noticed anything ☺️
Yay for a literature based curriculum. The Jolly Postman was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. I love the look of the Writer’s Toolbox. #guesthollow
Your explanation of the LA curriculum was the best one I’ve seen so far, I loved how you described it as a “guide”! I’m looking forward to trying this out. #guesthollow
Thank you!
Thanks for the review. I’ve been trying to decide to use this or wait till next year. Looks like something my kids like and I find LA so hard to teach as it has so many different parts. But this one looks fun. #guesthollow
The scheduling is what I love about #guesthollow the most. I already have a lot of the books they schedule or recommend (but they introduce me to some great ones I didn’t know about), and I have no doubt I could put together a schedule for reading them (however I definitely couldn’t create such great workbooks), but I’m not going to. I know myself and I have too many kids/time commitments to sit down and put something together. It is well worth it to me to buy a course from Guest Hollow for a very reasonable cost to save my sanity and time. That’s even more true for the courses which include workbooks or Guest Hollow edited/created spine textbooks (higher level sciences, for example).
Yes!!! We need to take the help where we can!!
Yay! More details on GH’s LA!
I'm really liking this compared to TGTB using books that they put out to be bought. I'm all about using the library.
I am excited to research more into their LA program! Would love to try it! Michele
#guesthollow. Thanks for this video...I've been interested in their LA and their actions and reactions curriculum. We did Beuwolf last year and loved it!
We currently have a program we like but depending how the year ends, it’s definitely a possibility for next year. I like the looks of their #guesthollow geography and world history curriculum. My soon to be high schooler needs activities and not just reading and they seem to check all the boxes. I also love the affordability. #guesthollow
This has been saved on my list for a few years to try. THank you for the #guesthollow giveaway.
I like how they give you so much recommendations and it allows you to customize it to your child. #guesthollow
Can't wait to check out Guest Hollow! #guesthollow
I love all of the book selections from #guesthollow! Thanks for the video! Love all your content!
#guesthollow
I agree with having guidance especially as a new homeschool mom. Also the library has tons of stuff. #guesthollow
I checked out their website yesterday, and there are so many things I want to try. #guesthollow
I have heard great things as well. I was planning on using it when we finish our current grammar curriculum . #guesthollow
Can’t wait to check guest hollow out! #guesthollow
#guesthollow I wasn't aware they had a language arts program separate from their grammar!
#guesthollow We have loved the guest hollow curric we have used so far!
#guesthollow
After watching your videos, this isdefinitely at the top of my list for what we will try next year for my 3rd and 4th graders! Thank you
#guesthollow thanks for the review. Helpful to know what’s in their LA program.
#guesthollow We definitely piece things together! I will say that my older kids (11 & 9) still LOVE picture books! They also like to read them to their little sisters. That’s an idea also if you think the picture book content is good for your 4th grader but she feels silly sitting and listening. 😊❤
#guesthollow. Thanks for the review and GAW. I’ve always been interested in their science programs
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful in comparing language arts and the grammar separately. #guesthollow
I'm excited to try their LA! #guesthollow
This was a great review of there LA program! #guesthollow
This looks amazing. Do you know if you start with a second grader can you use the same curriculum to build upon each year?
Possibly if you switch out the resources or only do some!
Fantastic overview of #guesthollow thanks for the insight
Sounds like there are a lot of resources included with this curriculum. #guesthollow
#guesthollow I'm so impressed with this curriculum! I love the flexibility and options it provides.
Interested in #guesthollow for my soon to be six year old in the fall. She’s doing 1st grade LA this year (Kindergarten year), but is a sponge always ready to learn the next thing.
That’s awesome!
I like pulling in different resources for language arts. I'm definitely going to look into this! #guesthollow
I am going to check this out to help supplement our literature curriculum. Thanks! #guesthollow
Yes! So many great resources
I'm going to look into this Language Art I'm looking for advice 2nd grader next year.
Is this a good all in one 2nd grade curriculum for advanced child?
You would have to go through all the recommended resources and see if it’s something that would work for your child ☺️ they do cover everything is you use all the recommendations
#guesthollow Thanks for the opportunity to win a great resource!
#guesthollow im interested to learn more about this company ❤️
This looks fun! #guesthollow
I just got the grammar curriculum but it doesn't say when to read the grammar books. Is that schedule included in the Language Arts download?
The stand alone grammar does not have a schedule or additional resources.
If you are looking for a schedule you can get the teachers guide, or you can get the LA curriculum which has a schedule and will also have additional resources.
Hope this helps! You can always email guest hollow if you have specific questions too! ☺️
@@gatheredandgroundedhomeschool I did get the teachers guide. It sounds like I need to get the LA course to know when to add in the books. Thank you for the help!
Thank you for this explanation. Wow! There are a lot of resources in this curriculum! #guesthollow
This looks like a very neat curriculum and more fun than most language arts courses. Thank you for this! #guesthollow
I am actually thinking of switching to this now (mid-year). My son is in 6th grade. Will this still be age appropriate for him next year if I stretch it into the next school year?
Yes it will! You can always swap out some of the recommended readers and stuff for more age appropriate ones
I’m looking to simplify our current curriculum. It takes too long to complete what we are using now.
What are you using now? This is a pretty robust curriculum which can take anywhere from 30mins - hour
We are looking into this #guesthollow
Looks great! #guesthollow
I have been really wanting to try a literature based curriculum. #guesthollow
Love this!
Thank you for this video.
#guesthollow Not using an all in one curriculum has been helpful. We use parts of 3 different curriculums for language arts.
Did you continue using this long term?
We use their grammar program
Thank you for this in-depth view on this curriculum. I love how customizable it is. #guesthollow
thanks again for another great video, #guesthollow
#guesthollow
Thanks for the feedback . Some books might want to be purchased depending on the book due to it missing items. #guesthollow
#guesthollow 😊
