We finished lesson 10 today and are really enjoying it! It’s been a lot of fun digger deeper into all of these civilizations 😊 my kids haven’t made a brochure yet so we are good to go on that. I can’t wait to see how they do. Love the theme park idea you came up with, as we are in Southern California and frequent theme parks very often!!
Great review! We are starting Aciants next month and I'm so excited. I'm really happy you reviewed it honestly so I can adjust some plans I have. Do you have a TPT account that us non tech Mama's can get your rubric, theme park outline, seatwork pages etc? I just can't make those things on a computer no matter how much I try. I always love the pages you create. I absolutely love the sweater you're wearing, is that something you'd be willing share where you got it? ❤️
Thanks for your kind words. The generic rubric I use to grade can be found here: www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/General-Classwork-Rubric-818698 As for the theme park stuff, I typed it up real quick and I didn’t save it. The Seatwork Journal can be found in the Files section of the Gather Round Homeschool Facebook Community. My sweater is from Old Navy, but I have probably had it for 5-6 years.

I would be interested in a video on rue tracker, please! Can’t wait to see what you share for next year. :) I have a 6th grader and I’m so nervous about “are we doing enough.”
Another excellent review! I absolutely love history and my 4th grade son is starting to really enjoy it too so adding this to my list to do 😂 We have the Middle Ages unit already so do you think it would be better to ancient civilization before Middle Ages? Right now we are in the middle of US history and plan on finishing this school year out with that but planning for next year😂
My oldest is doing biblical, Christian and church history and we are using Middle Ages as a family!!! I’ve thought of this unit!!! His history credit is “Christian” history!!! It sounds intense and awesome!!! I love that it made it real as my twins say history class seems un real and ppl couldn’t have lived in that time!!! We are interested in earth science but only what applies to our area of the world as weather events happen!!! We only do language arts as needed!!! We love TGTB writing guidance!!!
Thank you thank you thank you! I am SO with you on the writing instruction too! Next year I am also going to add some additional writing to our homeschool.
@@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife I’m still exploring, but will be trying out the free sample of IEW and Fix It Grammar next month when we do our South America unit. I’m also considering Beowulf Grammar instead of Fix It Grammar since it takes a totally different hands-on approach. But I’m hoping my boys like IEW 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your insight. I always come to your channel to see the inside of the units. I love that you follow-up with a review. You have great ideas and it helps me think outside "the box." I have a middle school boy and a high school boy (9th). I'm trying to work the units out for credits. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of Bravewriter, but she has some amazing resources for the language/writing part.
I love your shirt 😍 this looks so fun! I just bought their year 1 so we can slowly work through them and plan on buying more. I love how you address so many newby questions in depth. They should really make you their sales woman!
Man! I really want to visit your son's theme park! Sounds amazing! We have been loving this unit as an accessory to our Ancient History/Classic Christian Studies. When I realized my 3rd grader fell right in between early and upper elementary for the Journaling pages, I went head and just sprang for the full family package and print whatever feels right for each lesson. I plan to revisit and use the high school stuff when she takes ancient world history again at that level because I really like what I see there. I agree the LA and Science components aren't quite enough for us, but that's OK because we have other stuff we are using for those anyway. Thanks for this review! ❤️

We just finished this and loved it! Moving on to Middle Ages and it looks even better!! If that’s possible
We are excited for Middle Ages. What is the writing project in that unit?

@@Olgaleigh that sounds fun.

I think I meant *time tracker.* but I’m interested in the tracker you mentioned in the beginning of your video.
I have it on my list to film it.
Your honest reviews are always excellent
I appreciate that!❤️
Can't wait to see your review! I really want to do tis unit this year.

Gather Round says that it doesn’t really matter the order, but we started with Ancients. Then, we will do Vikings, Middle Ages, and the Renaissance.

Very creative with your own seatwork journal. Love it!
Thank you!
I love the theme park project!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Thanks for watching!
What did you do for writing for the next year?
We use a combination IEW, The Good and the Beautiful, and creative writing.
Thank you thank you thank you! I am SO with you on the writing instruction too! Next year I am also going to add some additional writing to our homeschool.
What do you think you will use for writing?

This looks really good!! Thank you for the flip through. ❤️

I love Brave Writer! Thank you so much for watching. I am in the same boat as you trying to figure out credits.

The reading and writing is the only thing that holds me back from using this curriculum fully
I love that you are going to work through them slowly. I think you will enjoy them. I would totally be their saleswoman if they needed one.
Man! I really want to visit your son's theme park! Sounds amazing!

Thank you so much!
Worth the wait 😍!!!
