All the elementary history in the series has a focus on different people. It's almost like a big missionary and people of faith bundle in each continent. It's so amazing.
Love that!!!
We’ve used generations for 3 years now. And we love it, specially their readers and history!
Hope you enjoy this curriculum as much as we have.
We’re in year two of using Generations history. We started level 1 and 2 last year, and finished level 2 and started level 3 this year. We love it and are excited to try other subjects.
We LOVE Generations Social Studies! It has been a great addition to our homeschool :)
Great haul flip through. I'm so excited that you went with it ❤
We're on our 2nd year using Generations and we love it!! The reading and history has been big hits in my family. Last year we read through Gods Big Story 3 and 4 as a family and now we are reading through the history together. Im partial to GBS but the kids all love the history!
Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Generations. Sounds great!
I used your link and purchased the 5th grade set and a book for my 1st grader. Really looking forward to this curriculum, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! I have not heard of this curriculum before. I really like how it applies it all to the word of God. ❤
This has been such an amazing curriculum! I love how the focus of first grade is for the student to read their own Bible provided in the reading curriculum. My daughter has just gotten to that stage and read the creation account. She loved it and felt so big. Such a beautiful curriculum that’s biblically based. Science and history is her favorite subject, also from generations.
Can't wait to hear how you liked it! We've used God's Big Story and some of the read alouds and we've loved them. I'm using some of the literature for my 7th grader next year. I have a few of the high school history courses too and they are amazing from the parts I've read.
You got it!! We were just talking about this a few weeks ago.😅 Can’t wait to watch and hear what you are excited about, Megan! 🎉
We started out with Gods Big Story Level 5 but paused as some of the stories discussed adultery, bigamy and other heavy subjects that we just weren't ready to discuss yet with our 10 year old. It is beautiful and factual of the bible which I like.
We plan on using the 7th grade reading program next year. Thank you for the flip thru on the history and science as I was wondering what that looked like. Have a great week!
That's great to know about level 5. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing, looks like some great options. I'm looking at literature options to do with my then 8th and 10th grader together.
They have some great ones!
Their website is a little tricky to navigate, so I’m sooo glad you shared this!! I love these 😍 definitely want the history and Bible reading
It is tricky, if you click store and then curriculum it should take you to their list 😉
Thanks!!
We use Generations Bible and absolutely LOVE it!
We are finishing up a family study on the book of John and will be doing their proverbs one next! It looks so good! 😊
I actually like all the softcover books best 😁😁 I am a gather on the couch teacher and the hardcover books are just too much.
We've been using their books this year and have loved them. I've been writing for them this year on some upcoming math books and it's been fun. The history and God's Big Story has been our favorites.
That's so cool! What a fun project!
We love math 1. I'm so excited for 2 and K to come out.
Thanks for sharing, I haven’t heard of this curriculum. That science seems a lot more age-appropriate for a 5th grader to do independently; my 4th grader is doing Apologia Anantomy through co-op and the vocab/comprehension level required just doesn’t match his age. 😬
Love Generations! We don’t use them for everything just bc of learning styles. But we have LOVED their phonics and reading curriculum GODS BIG STORY. LOVE that the focus is on the main goal of reading is #1 being able to read the Bible for themselves. Listening to my 8 and 6 year old reading these simplified (but accurate) Bible accounts is just awesome. Excited to see how it progresses for level 2. My understanding is that every level has the same stories, but they get more advanced. So the kids who do it year after year are gaining more details and knowledge while memorizing the stories.
I also ordered The story of Jesus’ people for next year.
They do run sales. I picked up next years curriculum on cyber Monday for about half off plus a free book!
Fantastic review! My oldest of 5 is also going into his freshman year, so this was really helpful. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for sharing the science. I was planning on getting it for Earth Science as well you saved my wallet:)
Thanks for sharing! I'm trying to figure out the appropriate level for my 2nd grader for reading. Is the textbook meant to be read independently by the student and the read alouds read by the teacher?
Thanks for sharing! The Story of Jesus’ People looks really good! Will this be your main history for your first grader or will you also do Story of the world/Biblioplan? How long do lessons take?
I actually don’t use Biblioplan with my younger kiddos. She will usually just color the picture while we read it but that’s it. It’s too much info for her.
So yes, this generations will be her history.
Would the reformed protestant view of the material be a hurdle for non-reformed protestant families? How entrenched is that view in the material? Thanks.
It talks a lot about God’s providence and sovereignty.
I have been wondering the same thing since I avoid Calvinism when I can. I wish a nonreformed Christian would review this curriculum for us!
I have been curious about this. We love what we are currently using but I keep seeing this around. I would be curious to know how it addresses colonization
I have been looking at this curriculum. Does it cover ancient history and colonization outside of the faith part?
I'm sorry to post this here because it's unrelated but I was hoping you'd see it!!! I know you live cle learning to read. We're doing aar and I'm not sold so I'm thinking of switching. I went online to order and there are a lot of components besides the teachers guide and light units. There are abc cards, word cards, phrase cards, sight word cards, a blending ladder thing, practice sheets etc. So do you utilize all of this or how do you do it? I wanted to check bc I know you're super familiar with the program and have had great success!!! Ps- thanks to you, we've switched from saxon to cle for my six yr old as well ❤
Hey Lauren! We love LTR! We use the teacher’s guide, light units, sight word cards, letter cards, and phrase cards. You do need to make sure your child knows their letter sounds because although it seems like it starts slow, they begin blending and working on sight words in the first unit. I hope that helps! 💜
Do you know if this uses the KJV? Or a different version?
Do you like this better than apologia?
It’s very different. I love Apologia but it doesn’t always fit our homeschool season. My kids will be taking a science at co-op next year and that, plus the intensity of Apologia doesn’t fit for us next year. My oldest will be doing Apologia Biology next year for highschool.
Are you no longer using Biblioplan?
Yes, that’s why I purchased science and Reading/literature from Generations.
@@PenniesAndSalt Just curious because I am driving myself crazy trying to decide between Notgrass or Biblioplan for high school world history. Do you mind me asking why you decided to no longer use Biblioplan
I meant yes, as in I am still using Biblioplan.
We will be using the new updated Modern History next year ua-cam.com/video/lh9mNdtH4jU/v-deo.htmlsi=L_S9AYUYKx5Eu9Ck
