You are literally the only vlogger that truly speaks to me when it comes to homeschool (other than Julie bogart, but I love that you're literally in the thick of it vs. Julie who is teaching from hindsight - both super important though!). I am so so thankful for your realness and honesty. You are helping me to stay the course more than you know. Thank you for following God's call for your life and encouraging others in the process ❤️❤️❤️
I watched this with tears in my eyes. I so needed this. I mean I wish I could hug you. God answers prayers I thank Him because He is so faithful. And when you said I’m called to homeschool that truly blessed me. My my ministry starts with my family. Thank you I truly needed this it helped me so much. I can’t wait to see the rest of the videos and join and start our journey with the curriculum. Thank you so much for being sensitive to hear from God and follow through with the vision he gave you. It’s going to help us all in our homeschool journey. If I have any typos it’s my iPhone fault and holding a baby I did the best I could. Lol hopefully you understand where I’m coming from.
God is using you in so many lives, Rebecca!!!! You are such a blessing in our home. You're a blessing to me!!! I recently found your podcasts and I swear you're speaking to my heart! We used and loved NAB and just purchased Asia yesterday! We are excited to experience Asia. Can I mention that I CANNOT. WAIT. UNTIL. YOU. RELEASE. YOUR. CHRISTMAS. UNIT???! Yes, I'm a little excited! Blessings to you and your family Rebecca! God is using you, mama! 💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗
This was an answer to my prayer. The way you felt about homeschooling is the exact way I felt. My homeschool is no where near where I imagined it to be. I had to hide in my closet today to cry and pray for help. Not very long after, I received the notification on this video. I cried all over again while watching this, but this time they were tears of relief. 😊 Thank You for following your calling.
Thanks for this motivation!! I have all these dreams for a business with homeschooling and I haven’t seen s breakthrough. I need to give it all to God to help me get started.
Your excitement is infectious 😊 I'm excited to see what you do. I too have been stressed since my kids will have 2-2.5 grades between them. They're young now but I love that you're doing this.
I have been thinking exactly the same way! I've been praying so hard. I've thought about creating my own curriculum but didn't know where to start! Thank you for following God and doing this!
This is unbelievable! Hearing your heart and how God spoke and worked thru you in designing this curriculum is everything!! I can't wait for the rest of our homeschool journey with gather round! We've only just started the letters and numbers unit....but my son is LOVING it SO much....
We love GRH! So glad that you listened to God and that you give Him the praise for this journey. GRH makes our life easier and brings togetherness to our home.
I'm going to check this out! I feel like you are speaking to me...I have been so angry, dissatisfied, hurt, feeling shameful of my failures to my kids, stretched in every direction...and then truly feeling God's words! "Are you living this life abundantly as I have called you?"....Thank you! Tears 😭 You are so intense ...I feel like this is probably how others feel when I am passionate...keep to God you are definitely on the correct path! ❤
I just cried with this video...I hardly cried...God bless you, Rebecca. The more I listen to your videos, The more I search and I see all the scientists, celebrities, athletes, helpful people, Noble Winners, etc WERE homeschooled...I just don't know how to afford it, how to live on one salary. How?
I just cried watching this because it's soooo my journey with God but on a totally different subject than homeschooling. There's has to be a better way. But I'm still lying in waiting. I've been praying for clarity. But I think what I truly need to do is rededicate my gifts and my business. This gives me hope beyond all comprehension. Hope that not every thing I've tried and done is in vain, that God has given me this unrest and this passion for a purpose and when the time is right, it will all be made known. Crying tears of joy. God is soon good! Cannot wait to experience these God inspired lessons. Can not wait! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I have downloaded a sample and have watched a few videos of other moms reviews and I started getting really excited because this is exactly what I have been looking for! I have always tried to blend my kids as much as I can but also love unit study. I just don't feel like I can figure out how to study something and tie in Grammer and spelling and such. THIS IS PERFECT! After listening to how you gave this to God and let Him do His will with it and your heart and passion for it, it got me even more excited! I am praying this can be what works for us because I'm kind of tired of trying different curriculums that don't fit our family's needs. We really need something refreshing that can stick around that we can do together but the kids enjoy and is open and go. I love interest based learning so doing all the subjects (except math) with topics my kids will be excited about sounds fabulous to me. It can't wait to give this a go this fall. Thank you SO much for trusting God and passionately pursuing this. You will bless so many through this curriculum!🌻
You are amazing! Your passion is infectious! Your faith is the real deal. And one of the biggest reasons I tune in is because you are hilarious and oh so relatable! I trust you and don't even know you in person! ! I don't know where you find the motivation to do ALL that you are doing to help us...but THANK you! Excited to try this with my crew. I TOO felt like I have failed. I Have 8 ages 9 and under and something has got to change! God bless you as you bless us! 😍
"I have been called to homeschool my kids", Yup me too. Then the reading to your kids story and they are bouncing and fighting etc. Yup here too. Then you said God told you to dream bigger and dream bigger and dream bigger. And I had a revelation.....Dream Bigger. Thanks Rebecca
Oh my! I giggled when you talked about your vision to have them all around you while you read to them, and then in real life they are all bouncing off the walls and being noisy, etc!! So true to my life.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video , love the way you put yourself across, your dedication and also love that you were homeschooled. I recently started a homeschool channel myself. Your information was amazing. Thankyou
I just ordered north american birds for my 2 youngest kids. We are very excited about it. Your curriculum will be their introduction to homeschool. I pulled all 3 out in March of this year so we will start fresh in July/August
That sounds amazing. That is such an amazing category of homeschooling you have created and I wish you the best and can’t wait to use it myself with my kids!
I have bumped into your videos and looking at your old reviews and then I saw you on the page of the gather around homeschool I'm like is this the same woman from reviews? I came to check out your testimony about this new project and I can just tell you you brought tears to my eyes I can relate in so many things you talked about. It has been a year I have been homeschooling this is all new to me and have felt that frustration of teaching all my kids bouncing from one to next and it is very exhausting. I have 6 kids by the way which one is a newborn. Anyways I was in the look for something I can blend all my kids together and I feel very excited to purchase this curriculum. Thank you for all that you do God bless you and your family.
This is soo inspiring! Thank you very much for sharing your testimony through this season of your life. This video was a perfect reminder for me : there is so much power in prayer! Thank you Rebecca.
So excited about all of this! And so incredibly happy for you & yours. Please, please consider creating a cursive option for the student work book for families that start our littles w/ cursive handwriting.. Thank you so much for all your amazing work.. Hugs & Blessings.
Wow God just keeps using you in amazing ways because you let him have the lead just the sheep follow the shepherd (Jesus) I can relate to you on so many levels and have had some of the same thoughts and conversations with myself and feeling like a failure to myself, family and kids this year I am going to put way more effort joy into homeschool and going to try a homeschool/life family planner I am excited about it just hoping I can stick to it, I tend to start things but not finish when it comes to things like that. I have 4 children ages 7, 6, 3, 1 thankfully I have been able to keep the older two in the same grade it will be harder once I start schooling the next one in line but now I am excited to check out your program I have been using my Father's world so far
Awesome!!!! So happy for you ❤️ I understand everything that you are saying. It’s hard being an advocate for homeschool and actually homeschooling plus trying to keep the household together. I hear ya!!! It’s really been a struggle at times. But it’s a beautiful journey. Thank you for inspiring all of us over and over again 😊
I watched this video and immediately checked out the site. I am super excited to learn more about this!! I even sent it to my sister who is heading down the same path of formulating her own curriculum also. When she does hers I'll send you an email.
This is really exciting for me! I recently found your channel and received, just last week, several pieces of curriculum you introduced me to...Notgrass, Language Arts for a Living Education, among a few other items. Now, I'm so bummed because I would have love loved to have tried Gather 'Round with my 4 children. Nevertheless, it's an honor to have found your channel and I'll be on the look out for future videos of yours expounding on Gather 'Round. God bless you for being Holy Spirit led. I know I'll be using Gather 'Round when we've worked through what we have!
Super inspiring actually. Im a mommy of 3 boys, (Thanks to God) 6yo, 4yo and 1yo. I am a first time homeschooling mommy and with my son starting first grade this year I struggled a lot due to many of the thing you stated. I have owned my own business since I was only a mommy of 1. I always wanted to have my own thing, be more, do more. Many of us ladies call in the Superwomen complex. Since baby 3 I have just been so torn with the attention and education of my children and focusing on my business. I even took my two oldest to visit our local Islamic school (we're Muslim obv haha) But while I was at the school I was so confused. I think my mind was trying to talk my heart out of doing something Ive been so inspired to do. I love learning and teaching, Ive even made (or started to) build an curriculum centered around our religious month of Ramadan. Honestly we often get so consumed with this life that we forget we are merely servants of God. We must learn to surrender ourselves to him with hopes that His abundance and grace will be shown to us. So Ive decided to put my business in its place and surrender it to Allah (God) with hopes that my intention to homeschool has such blessing in it. It says in the Quran that...they plan and we plan and Allah is the best of planners...Praise be to God. I am confident that He will make everything come together for us.
Wow, I have three boys too, I started homeschooling unintentionally, but it has been the best decision and investment. As a follower of Isa (Jesus), God has shown me that my most important "job" is not only to teach my children, but guide them spiritually so they ultimately love and follow Isa. I pray you have a bless school year.
Wow! I only have one kid in school right now, so I won't need the main feature for a while, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on this! It's something I will consider!
This is so amazing Rebecca! I literally cried watching this! God is so good and He is blessing your obedience to Him!! Hope to meet you someday! -Rachel Gross
I love this idea and I hope will consider making a secular version for those of us that are interested in this way of homeschooling but choose to keep religion separate. Good luck with your business as well as your homeschooling journey.
YES, This is what I need!! I think Gather Round sounds Amazing, but for our family we need it to be Secular. I'm afraid of how much of the lessons I would Lose if I simply cut out the bible versus; but I feel she could gain so many additional homeschool customers and reach All of us by simply replacing those with short story or poem verses and selling them as a secular version. Please consider this for those of us who need it - fully Respecting your faith and your original version for those to whom it applies, just hoping to allow those of us not of your religion to join in on this new education style too! ;-)
I’m super excited our Unit Studies arrived today! Looks absolutely stunning! I’m not on FB so thoughts I’d post here; would you consider the spiral bind to be at the side? That’s my only tiff haha! I’m not sure about other Mamas, but it’s going to be a bit of a hassle flipping through their books that way.....I hope you’ll consider if this would be a worthwhile change? I called my local printing company and it’s too expensive to print it myself.....
I have been trying to do family lessons for a long time and this sounds great! I am curious how the math will work... I hope it is similar with a main idea for everyone with different levels of individual work.
As an atheist, why do all homeschooling curriculums or anything related with homeschooling has to do with God or religious stuff? I wanna homeschool my kids without the religious stuff I don't believe in any of that. Is there such curriculum?
I don’t know of a curriculum but to answer your question, biblically women are to stay at home and raise the children, keep the house etc. And with those beliefs, it drives the desire to homeschool. Which brings God into the education. They used to teach about God in public school and no longer do, so it’s definitely expected that homeschooling families would learn about God while also learning education. Hope that helped answer your question.
We are not a religious family and I can think of 100 reasons that we homeschool our 5 kids and not one has to do with religion. I still get the gather round units because they are beautiful and a great outline. We skip all biblical work and I cross out/change things as needed. More work for me but im ok with it. A lot of the curriculum we have loved over the years has unfortunately been religious but ive learned to change what I need to to make it work for us. My kids Also know about a lot of religions so sometimes we use it as like a "some people believe this..." Kind of discussion. They decide what they want to think and they believe in aliens and zombies so 😂💁💁
First of all, you do ramble on and I love it. It's not like "come on hurry up & get this over with" your brutal down to the core honest and totally yourself while still be lead by the spirit. Making it very easy for others to relate to you. With 5 little people 6 & under, I get it.. Yes even through our failures, God is faithful girly. He's the way maker, promise keeper, miracle worker & I'm excited for how you are being lead and not caught up with the extra STUFF.
We're currently using Ace's Paces and I'm thinking about using Gather Round next year with the Ace's Paces Math curriculum. I watched the first 2 videos but I can't find the 3rd video that shows inside the curriculum. Could you please point me in the right direction?
Hi! Just browsed the website and looked through oceans and birds. I noticed the curriculum is not math heavy. Do you recommend supplementing? Am I missing something? I’m excited to try your units!! Sorry for so many questions but is each unit supposed to take about a quarter, semester or a year?
All the available units are listed on the www.gatherroundhomeschool.com site but so far we have North American Birds, Asia and Space with Europe and a bonus Christmas unit we are getting ready to release.
Homeschool On oh! Thank you sooo much!! I’ve been doing this kind of thing on my own. Usually with geographic units but this is just gold. What would the homeschool community do without a mind like yours. Your curriculum is beautiful.
You are literally the only vlogger that truly speaks to me when it comes to homeschool (other than Julie bogart, but I love that you're literally in the thick of it vs. Julie who is teaching from hindsight - both super important though!). I am so so thankful for your realness and honesty. You are helping me to stay the course more than you know.

Hearing you is like hearing my life. Homeschooling a big family.
I have felt so much the same way with my homeschooling.

Thanks for this motivation!! I have all these dreams for a business with homeschooling and I haven’t seen s breakthrough. I need to give it all to God to help me get started.
No matter how overwhelm I get, putting my kids in school always makes me want to cry.
Your excitement is infectious 😊 I'm excited to see what you do. I too have been stressed since my kids will have 2-2.5 grades between them. They're young now but I love that you're doing this.

we do have a cursive notebook we'll be doing as a cheap add on that has the same copywork but in cursive as well as additional copywork in it.
@@HomeschoolOn YES!! TY!!!! ^_^
Wow!! I needed this today!... God cares about my homeschool❤😥
Wow God just keeps using you in amazing ways because you let him have the lead just the sheep follow the shepherd (Jesus) I can relate to you on so many levels and have had some of the same thoughts and conversations with myself and feeling like a failure to myself, family and kids this year I am going to put way more effort joy into homeschool and going to try a homeschool/life family planner I am excited about it just hoping I can stick to it, I tend to start things but not finish when it comes to things like that.

Just bought year one for my 3 school age kids! I am soooo excited!
Thank you for sharing your struggles and real life with children and marriage and the beginnings of GRH! All glory is God's!
Congrats! Awesome testimony! God is so good!
Thank you so much for your honesty, it was refreshing. Bless You. Keep going. You can do anything.

I am so excited for this program! My daughter is only three but I am a planner and I love the look of the samples.
It is ABSOLUTELY God! I was getting ready to give up homeschooling because I was failing my kids.
Yes! The seed was germinating! I love that!
This is really exciting for me! I recently found your channel and received, just last week, several pieces of curriculum you introduced me to...Notgrass, Language Arts for a Living Education, among a few other items.

I admire you so much thanks from the bottom of my heart
I’m glad it’s affordable hope it stays affordable but it seems like when success hits people get greedy.
I can’t wait to try it!
Try the rest*
Wonderful ♥️
I love this idea and I hope will consider making a secular version for those of us that are interested in this way of homeschooling but choose to keep religion separate. Good luck with your business as well as your homeschooling journey.

This is great!
Going to try the sample
I'm in, if you're looking for more designers. Let me know 😊
I have been trying to do family lessons for a long time and this sounds great! I am curious how the math will work... I hope it is similar with a main idea for everyone with different levels of individual work.
Would love to collaborate with you and try your new curriculum. Would love to hear from you 💕
Oh my goodness I love you! ☺️
Wow ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

My kids Also know about a lot of religions so sometimes we use it as like a "some people believe this..." Kind of discussion. They decide what they want to think and they believe in aliens and zombies so 😂💁💁
I too am really passionate about getting free stuff. 😉🤣
ha! Right? ;)
First of all, you do ramble on and I love it. It's not like "come on hurry up & get this over with" your brutal down to the core honest and totally yourself while still be lead by the spirit. Making it very easy for others to relate to you. With 5 little people 6 & under, I get it.. Yes even through our failures, God is faithful girly. He's the way maker, promise keeper, miracle worker & I'm excited for how you are being lead and not caught up with the extra STUFF.
We're currently using Ace's Paces and I'm thinking about using Gather Round next year with the Ace's Paces Math curriculum. I watched the first 2 videos but I can't find the 3rd video that shows inside the curriculum. Could you please point me in the right direction?
What are the upcoming unit studies? Thank you.
You can find them here: gatherroundhomeschool.com/blogs/bulletin/the-schedule
Ok, i want it.
Is there a release date? I'll pre- order it, but my husband needs a date.. :/
So every month a new unit is released. So far the first three months are up and available instantly, the rest are released one per month
Hi! Just browsed the website and looked through oceans and birds. I noticed the curriculum is not math heavy. Do you recommend supplementing? Am I missing something? I’m excited to try your units!! Sorry for so many questions but is each unit supposed to take about a quarter, semester or a year?
I just went to the FAQ section and my math question is answered
Aaaaand my second question was answered in the FAQ as well!!!! Great job
Do you have a master book list for all courses to date?
All the available units are listed on the www.gatherroundhomeschool.com site but so far we have North American Birds, Asia and Space with Europe and a bonus Christmas unit we are getting ready to release.
Homeschool On oh! Thank you sooo much!! I’ve been doing this kind of thing on my own. Usually with geographic units but this is just gold. What would the homeschool community do without a mind like yours. Your curriculum is beautiful.
👏👏👏👏🍀🙏
