Loved this! What we did that was an “ease-in” from one age level to the next: age 4-5: we did more of a junior kindergarten (didn’t use Memoria press curriculum) using Rod&staff’s workbooks (they have a lot of series, purchased from Milestone books) and doing Abeka’s pre-k Bible curriculum plus doing tons of read-alouds. The Rod&Staff GHI series workbooks cover a lot. We have also practiced writing since she was 3 through workbooks/wipe erase books. We are doing formal Memoria Press kindergarten this year (age 6) and it’s been a breeze for her so far. Challenging yes, but not a struggle. I’m glad I didn’t do kindergarten last year. I would rather my child be on the older end of her grade. Not in a rush to graduate before 18.
Been using it for 6 years now with now 3 kids. I love it, I love how everything is woven in, I love that because there is a lot of mastery based learning we can cut down on the work when I’ve deemed they’ve mastered it. I love that everything is connected and that they started with what they wanted to see in a high school graduate and worked backwards. I love how great the customer service is, I love that the teachers are willing to help the moms and that the curriculum is tested at their school before they release it to us homeschoolers. I feel such peace with this company and curriculum!
We are in 4th grade with Memoria Press and it is amazing! My son’s favorite subjects are Greek Myths, Christian Studies and the American History readers.
Are you doing this with the bju stuff? My kid goes to a hybrid school also, but he’s doing different stuff on our 3 home days. One of those things is story time treasures and another will be prima Latina but I won’t start Latin until January.
Yes, I need to do an updated video. We are not using the entire Memoria Press because our primary focus is the hybrid school (Abeka and BJU Press). My first grader does Abeka with the hybrid school and my third grader does Abeka Math and everything else is BJU Press. However, my third grader has a teacher that isn’t great and really doesn’t seem like she knows what she’s doing so we’ve been supplementing with Traditional Spelling from MP, the third grade MP math, and still doing Prima Latina and the 3rd grade read alouds from MP. I don’t see us doing the hybrid school next year based on how chaotic it has become (growing too fast) and how much they raise rates every year. So the plan is full time MP 2025/2026.
@@lindsaysimplified oh man, that stinks. Can you get out of this years contract early? Sometimes that’s worth trying. My hybrid school says you can’t, but realistically they evaluate on a case by case basis and many people have left (for various reasons) without being required to fulfill the entire year. I love memoria press stuff, but we also love dimensions math and logic of English. Idk how long we will last at the hybrid school since I don’t prefer their academics, but we really really love the community and have been connected with it since my oldest was a baby.
We tried Memoria press but my kids hated it so much. I still wanted the classical model so we chose veritas press. Memoria is very good but very dull and boring for kids that thrive off color and games.
I like parts and pieces of MP, but it’s just so much work. I’ve read forums of families who can’t do anything else during the week because MP takes up basically their entire life. 😅 We’ve used their Latin and Grammar mostly, while using BJU Press in our hybrid school. I also bought Classical Conversations Foundations book to work on memory work (without the book work). We aren’t joining a CC community as of right now. Let me know how you like Veritas!

Loved this! We are thinking of homeschooling in the future with our 2 young kiddos. ❤

Where did you get your cabinet?
IKEA! It’s the Kallax shelf unit and we just bought the inserts we wanted.

@@lindsaysimplified I like Latina Christiana but might switch Latin programs next year
Is verita similar to memoria (geared towards learning at a slower pace or disabilities)
Not necessarily. It’s not as rigorous and boring but it is still an excellent curriculum that keeps them engaged because of the “fun” built in
