  • Hello, friends! Welcome back to my channel One Blessed Mess for this Do a Homeschool History Lesson With Us video! We started using Notgrass History's Our Star-Spangled Story this year, and in this video I will show you how I utilize it for multiple kids.
    📚 This is a collab with my friend Julie from the channel Stars of Jewels! Check out her channel and Notgrass video here! / starsofjewels
    Video: • A Look Inside Notgrass...
    If you are new here, hi and welcome! I'm Christie, and I'm a 2nd year homeschooling mom to 5 kids (ages 10, 8, 6, 2, and 2 months!) My husband and I pulled our kids out of public school last year, moved to our new house in the country, and haven't looked back! I love sharing my (authentic + honest) journey with you all, and hope you will join me as we navigate our footing in the world of homeschooling!

    This was so fun to watch! Were using the same curriculum for history but I am supplementing more with living books. So far we are really liking the literature suggestions! We just started Unit 7 this week. My kids love the CD especially and that particular song you played in the video is one they sing all the time now. Ha!

    We used Notgrass OSSS last year for my 2nd/4th graders! We loved it! My kids liked the songs and the literature is great! We took a break this year and are using Masterbooks and like it too. I like to jump around diff science/history curriculums...I think we will def be jumping back to Notgrass probably next year...It seemed like they only had 1 level for the grade my kids were but they had more upper elementary so we will need it again soon.

    Hello. I hope you and your family are doing well. I thought I would ask you about your experience with ordering TGATB. I have 3 orders right now that say "awaiting fulfillment". I ordered Dec 22nd to Dec 27th. Ordered 1 of the Math 3 sets and several Science kits and Lang arts. All of my past orders have been shipped out in about 5 days and then I would start tracking them through FedEx. Its over 2 weeks out and the orders havent even been filled. Any thought on this? Have you heard other moms with this same problem?

    • @OneBlessedMess
      @OneBlessedMess  3 роки тому

      You are not alone, Mama! They've been having shipping issues lately it seems 😔 I've heard of some people getting their orders super quickly while others have been waiting awhile! I think it's a mixture of an influx of sales along with COVID slowing things down!

      Implement some fun games, like Sight Word Swat! Have her get up and move around while reading words, or jump from word to word as she reads them outloud. Kindergarteners learn mostly through play so I wouldn't stress too badly about formal school at this point! 😊
