I honestly donât know what I would do without your videos! Weâre on our first year homeschooling and did teaching textbooks. My daughter and I are not fans and I had no idea what to do for next year so this couldnât have come at a better time! Such good info for me to think about for the kids curriculum next year. Thank you for everything you do for us mommas đ€
Thankyou for saying this, I love helping you guys!
Yes!!!! Me too!!
Loved this update!! So thankful youâre a few years ahead of me đ I appreciate watching what your doing with your older kids and planning accordingly.
Yes! I am so excited about Shormann math I found it this year after we had already purchased curriculum and I couldn't justify scrapping or attempting to sell and recoup. So glad to hear more people loving it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to update us on your school year. My oldest is in 5th grade and your experiences and tips always give me guidance for the upcoming school year đ
Came here for the math update, but got so much other information!!! I literally wouldn't know what to do in my homeschool without you. I pride myself in being a "researcher" but you're so much better! I cannot thank you enough for all the work you do!
Such a great and helpful video! Thank you!! New homeschool momma and feeling very encouraged by you đ
Thanks for sharing whatâs working for you guys! Iâm currently planning ahead(when are we not as homeschool mommas) so this is helpful
Great update! I would love to hear and see more about Shoreman math in the future.
This was very helpful. You gave me lots of ideas for next year! Thank you!
Love this video! When we first started in 2018 I leaned highly into your recommendations- no pressure haha. We have picked our way through and use a huge variety now. I am definitely interested in that health course most of all!
This was so helpful. It makes me actually feel excited for homeschooling upper grade levels. Thank you for the wonderful content, as always.
great run down! Makes me excited to homeschool when my daughter is of age
So helpful, as always, Ashlee!!! Thank you! I am thinking ahead for next year and even future years as I have a 6th grader so I made some note for things in the next few years.
I agree with your review on TGATB Math 4. My Olivia also loves the videos that go along with each lesson.
Fabulous update! I was particularly interested in the Shormann math update. I have an 8th grader and 6th grader doing Algebra I with the previous course you were using. Excite about looking into this new one!
We love ACE, it is what i use for homeschool for 6 years now.
I love this video. I love how you point out that us as parents and our kids teachers we are all learning so much. Iâm learning so much seeing I dropped out of school in the 9th grade. I loved History in school and Iâm loving the good and the beautiful history. We are doing year 2.
You gave so many good suggestions! Thank you!
I homeschooled 8th-10th grade and used paces! Loved this video. Taking notes!
So helpful! Thank you! đ
Love that you have middle and high school aged. Great video content . Very useful to me thank you!
Great video for us, thank you!! Thankful for your videos!!
These videos are so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of your experiences to us Ashlee. I am a mom that is a few years behind you so I have a playlist dedicated to curriculum to keep my eye on for the future and your videos like this fill that playlist. â€ïž
So glad I can help you!
Thank you! I always love and look forward to your review videos. Also, love love love the sweater!
Awesome update!! Ty so much for sharing
Everything I needed for my soon to be 8th grader!!!!! Thank you for always sharing so grateful đâ„ïž
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!! We love the missionary stories too!!
My husband is going to be shocked when he sees how many books I have coming in. I love following your reading lists.
One more question- youâve mentioned talking to your kids about illegal drugs use. Iâm struggling with navigating this topic and itâs SO important to me. My brother died of a drug overdose in 2009, one grand dad was an alcoholic, my husbandâs grandfather was an alcoholic that ended his own life. I really want to tackle these topics, and I need guidance. It wasnât done for me (other than the dare-just say no campaign in school in the 90s). Iâd LOVE a video on how you do this, resources you use, what type of language you use, etc. đ
These are my favorite kind of videos! I loveeeee curricula haha. I use TT as âhomeworkâ for the kiddos so they do one lesson a day in addition to their TGATB lesson but not because I think TGATB is lacking but like you- have multiple littles that I am homeschooling and sometimes I need to engage them in an independent activity while I work 1:1. I got wordly wise for next year also as well as easy grammar and hwot. I plan to just sort of rotate through those as independent review while I work 1:1 with them in TGATB language arts. TGATB makes it so much easier for swap hats so frequently. Love love love
We are using TGATB Math 3 and I really love it too. I love that each lesson has the new material and review from the last couple of lessons. I really like the review for my son.
Woop woop!! Blessings for your second half!
Thanks for the update! Helpful info :)
I agree on the Shormann math! We found him last year and I love that itâs also Christian!
We absolutely love the MB Logic course and used the videos and watched it all as a family. Then I go over it and discuss it deeper with my older teens. Very solid stuff! I would recommend RoadTrip to Truth next if you all enjoyed Logic. MBs Roadtrip to Truth is fantastic and a top favorite for us! The short videos bring in so much great discussions! Itâs so good and heavy apologetics and very engaging. A must for a college bound student. Also, I very much agree about Shormann math!!
Thank you! Always so helpful!!! First I love love love your sweater!!! Would love to know where you got it from!
I literally love that I use all the things you do and have always taken your advice & itâs always worked so well for us! I had already decided we would do Shorman math for 7th grade and up from learning about it with Colleen at our blessed life ⊠Trying to decide whether to do his (Shormannâs) earth science, bjuâs earth science or apologias ⊠Any thoughts on if youâll ever try Shormanâs science or always stick to bju?
Thank you for always being so helpful!!!!
Thanks for this update! Three of my kids are using the good and the beautiful math and they all love it. I will say the younger two are jealous of the older one because of her QR code videos though! This is our fourth or fifth math curriculum switch and we feel completely happy with sticking with it.
Thank you for your reviews. We are excited to try the G&B science next year. We are using Science Shepherd this year, it works and we like it, but the G&B looks much more detailed and hands on. We love their math and ELA and I'm looking forward to seeing the changes they make in the lower level programs for my youngest.
Ashley, I haven't watched your videos in a while but I am soo glad I jumped back in. I love all your honest feedback! I have been doing Saxon because I'm not a big fan of teaching textbooks but my daughter is about to go to high school so I definitely will be looking into the Math you are doing!
A HUGE thank you Ashlee, for this video. Itâs given me lots of ideas and some direction for our homeschool. đđ·
So glad!!!
Great to hear about Shoreman. We have been using saxon 8/7 for my 7th grader along with the DIVE videos which is the Shoreman guy. And following his suggestion and doing Shoreman Algebra 1 for 8th grade. So excited!
We love The Fallacy Detective for younger kids logic!
Thanks for this video. Love, love your top you are wearing!
We are planning to make the move to Shormann math for next year. Really struggling right now with what we are using for Algebra. We also enjoy the Logic course. We switched a month into the school year to TGTB Simply Math and it has been a big hit with my younger child.
I could not agree more about the wonderful things with TGAB math and LA! I could not recommend them enough!
So glad your year is going well and yâall are happy with your curriculum choices. That sense of contentment makes any homeschool year run smoothly. AlsoâŠyour hair looks so pretty!đ
Thanks so much amber!
Thank you so much for this video. It is always very helpful to see what is working for other homeschoolers.
Lots of great information, thank you! I am curious what you will do next as far as math transition we are using Masterbooks as well but for 7th grade.
Loved this a million times over!!
I love ACE. We use it for Math and sometimes other courses. But, I am going to have to check out their health education book. Thanks for sharing!!! It is fun to hear what others think about different curriculum choices. Great video!
With the BJU Earth Science do you also do the tests that you can order separately, or just stick to what is in the book? Thank you!
I love this!!! I have young ones but I like to plan and look out for the future so Iâm not so lost later
Grabbed a built bar at the grocery store yesterday. YUMMY. Will be getting the value pack with your code ASAP
I love these videos! Your BJU link isnât working, however, just wondering what you thought of the 7th grade science From BJU? Would you recommend the online class as well? Or anything else you recommend to go along with it?
My oldest loved Shormann math and it prepared her so well for dual enrollment math. She was able to take college algebra and calculus this year as a senior via dual enrollment. We just started TG&TB for my youngest and so far it has been great for her.
Thankyou for telling us about it!
@@GraceandGrit you're welcome! Thanks for sharing TG&TB Simply Math!
For the BJU course do you do the self paced ones that have videos? Do they keep the grades?
My kids are 4th grade and younger, so I haven't looked into courses for older kids. Do you have to switch to something like BJU for middle and high school science or is that a personal choice? I'm always so impressed by homeschool moms of middle/high schoolers!
Thank you for your updates! I look forward to these videos!
Love your necklace and sweatshirt by the way! Do you have a link for those as well? âșïž
No I donât! Itâs target!
I finally tried built bar....it's so good! I love the cookies and cream and cherry. Thank you for the suggestion!
We also loving Shorman maths...đđŒ
My daughter is on math 5 TGATB.. my daughter loves the videos but doesn't always fully understand..so I sit with her most times and work through the work.
Looking at moving over to Saxon Maths online for more explanation from Dr Shorman.
I cannot find worldly wise in South Africa đżđŠ would love to use it.
Thinking of getting logic..looks amazing âŁïž
I switched from one math curriculum this year to Horizons level 1 as my daughter was having a hard time grasping concepts. She seems to enjoy the spiral approach. Would you recommend sticking with Horizons instead of going to TT later on (knowing what you know now) or would you recommend TGTB math instead?
Yes I would. I would never go back to tt knowing what I know now
love your sweatshirt!
âTheyâwould have so much fun with me. I pronounce a lot wrong. My whole family laughs all the time at it! Itâs just me and they love me! So all is good right?! Thanks for the curriculum updates nice to see what others are doing.
I just started watching the video and have to ask where you got your sweatshirt!!! I love it!
Target!
I know each stateâs laws are different, but do you think youâll continue the traditional trajectory of science for your kids throughout high school? Iâm kind of struggling with what Iâm going to do for my 8th grade son when he starts high school in the fall. Chances are he will not be pursuing anything in science beyond high school, but I donât think it would be bad to continue on the traditional trajectory for science in homeschool, especially when it comes to college transcripts if he ends up going that route.
How do you manage to get the geometry credit, since you said you started with Algebra 2? Wondering because we need a change.
Can you link your video explaining the teaching textbooks holes? Iâm researching math for jr high and upper elementary right now.
I am looking into bju earth science. Which books do you recommend as necessary to the curriculum? I see there are many books involved such as student text, lab book, teacher edition, etc... Did you buy the complete set?
Hi! I bought the ACE health curriculum for my son for next year. What kind of schedule did you follow for itâŠ
I've looked into history with TGATB but I have no idea where to start. Should you start with year 1 always? Can I start with year 2 or 3 and then circle back around?
Wish I would have known about that master books math book when my son was younger it sounds amazing! So important to have those concepts down. We're using TGTB math now too though, so hopefully they get up to level 7 math! đ€đ€
Does anyone have any suggestions for online math? My kids did teaching textbooks this year and it was OK but, I think they need more help.
I've been looking at the Logic course for a while, but thought it looked boring. You've got me tempted to try it after all! My daughter finished the ACE Health course last semester. We liked it too! We also really Love Shormann for Algebra 2!
Where did you get the ACE health course
Iâm using Horizons for my son (first grade) for math. The number of problems IS daunting. Heâs very strong mathematically, and I do think heâs doing well with it, but it seems very boring. I do like how easy it is to use and he can do most of each lesson on his own, so thatâs nice. But, Iâm worried heâs going to go from loving math to being bored with it. Your reviews are very helpful!! LOVE TGTB LA so much! I may have to try their math next year.
How do you know what classes are honor classes for high school??
I never thought I'd change curriculum halfway through our school year but we started doing Saxon 5/4 with my oldest son and he had so much trouble with it because it involves so much writing this year. I decided to make the switch to simply good and beautiful math with him and our daughter after hearing such good things about it from you and others. My son is gifted with math but was diagnosed with dysgraphia this past month which has to do with transcription. Hoping this new curriculum works for us!
Iâd love to hear how itâs going! My 10yo also has dysgraphia. He prefers doing his math on a whiteboard vs on paper.
I have a non homeschool question- where is your sweatshirt form? Love it! đ
Did you just purchase the MB Introduction to Logic teacherâs guide? Or is it required to purchase the additional workbook for our kids to do the worksheets?
I'd love to hear more about Shorman Math. A lesson example, how it compares to Saxon, etc.
Never used Saxon so I canât draw any conclusions!
I watch ALL your videos and plan to someday hoping your membership BUT I live for these homeschool videos. Thank you for continuing to share. My oldest is in fifth grade and I am starting tot honk ahead and I literally take notes on your homeschool videos. đ
That makes my heart happy!
Funny, Geology was our favorite unit! We especially loved scratching the rocks to determine their hardness
Really liked this video. Very informative. 2 questions⊠when do you advise starting to prep for HS? I have a 6th grader. Not sure when to start looking toward HS courses. Next question⊠when do you wish you would have switched from
TT to Shorman (sp?) Math?
Iâm wondering if you have a spelling program you recommend. I have a 3rd and 5th grader. We use TGATB but Iâd like to have some supplements. Thanks!!
Principles of Mathematics IS a pre-algebra course if you do both books 1 and 2. So 7th you can do book 2 and 8th do algebra.
Right! Just not sure we want to do that!
Happy and blessed Friday! Thank for sharing. Your videos a very helpful and informative. Quick question. How do you know which subjects your high school student needs and how many credits/ years of certain subjects are required? Thank you in advance.
By looking up my states requirements
Yes! ACE paces⊠a little traumatized! Lol but thank you! Totally looking for a health course like that.
Question:
Does your youngest do worldly wise as well? What grade did you start worldly wise?
Iâm so excited for the revised history from TGATB!! Cannot wait!
Weâre about to wrap up Reptiles. Its been great. Have you done the weather unit? Thinking of going to that one next for my kiddos. Ages 7, 8, and 10.
Did weather! Wasnât our fav!
@@GraceandGrit thanks for the heads up. Iâll be honest, it didnât look as appealing as some other units.
Extremely helpful Ashlee! I have a fifth grader and I was definitely taking notes! Thank you!
Fourth grade mom here doing the same!
The bju press Spanish is it videos?
Do you think the ACE Health would be understood by a 5th grader? Or would you recommend something else?
My heart is heavy tonight. Not many discuss but how is grading especially high school done and suppled for collage? I am in struggle with my 6th grader. Any knowledge, suggests, or pray to guide me to success?
Yes! I used ACE in a private Christian school in the 90âs as well!! Traumatic is a great description!! đ€Łđ€Ł
What science would you count the Apologia health course as, if it wasnât only health?
We love the Math 4!!
Love your video very informative. I know this is off topic but where did you get your necklace and bracelets?đ
Reef rain and aria!
Paused this video so many times to add stuff to my high school notes!
I'm sure you'll talk about this. But do you think you'll start your youngest in teaching textbooks or skip it? Just wondering because my 3rd grader is doing it. ... Not bad he just doesn't love it. I'm looking for something for next year
What book is that maps book that you did not get to use? I have searched to death!
Built Bars...my absolute favorite and I am SO SAD that they no longer have the Orange Creme! It is my fave of all time! I emailed them about it too (as a long time customerđđ)...hoping they bring it back!
I can't wait to begin Logic from Masterbooks with my boys!
I love the orange, too!!
Love orange too! I hope they are listening!!!
Yes, we are already sorting out materials and books for next year đ đ đâ€ïž âïž
Could I ask you where you purchased your health curriculum from? It wasn't posted in the description box.
