Yes! Eternal perspective is key. So sad the emphasis on friends that are put on our kids.
I truly enjoy following your channel. Grace and grit is such a fitting name for your channel. Thank you. You have been a light in guiding me to step out on faith and start homeschooling fall 2024 with my 5th, 6th, and 8th grade daughters.
My middle schoolers use and love Apologia Science. Their General Science & Physical Science is geared to middle schoolers and teaches note taking. It’s been fabulous for us!
Thank you so much for sharing, I always leave your videos feeling blessed!
So so so good!!
Thank you so much for sharing all of this. It definitely lifts the veil on these things that seem so mysterious and can cause a lot of unnecessary doubt. I also love your perspective on friendships and socializing. It is kind of weird now that I think about it 😂
Great q&a!
Thanks for this Q&A! So hekpful 💕
You're so welcome!
Thank you friend 🩷 and I love following you for middleschool and highschool and more. Best Q&A ever🤩
Yay! Thank you!
@@GraceandGrit I just finished watching. Had to make dinner and then clean up.cant wait to see what science you pick .
Always appreciate your experience and wisdom. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome
I created my own high school transcripts when I was homeschooled in high school and got into all the colleges I applied to! 😂 Yet it still feels like a big deal to make them for my kids 😂
Thank you for sharing this. I have an upcoming 7th grader… so this is perfect timing!
You're so welcome!
You are a blessing
29:25 I needed to hear this! Thank you ❤
We love BAND. Used it for dance team and it's great! I think the idea of socialization is overblown as well, but it has been hard for us to find any friends. Our church lacks families with kids around our age so it's been tough. Our local high schoolers take 7 classes a year, but the numbers dwindle around Jr/Sr years. We're starting with 7 and reducing as needed.
We love Notgrass History! By far our fav history curriculum! And we are currently at 6th grade level/ very happy with them!
Any book recommendations for middle / highschool when it comes to literature. As a Christian waking into the Library to look for a book that is appropriate is becoming harder and harder.
I've referred to your High School playlist numerous times. Thanks for sharing honestly and earnestly about homeschooling these older years. So much value!
You are so welcome!
When all your children graduate high school, what do you plan to do?
Hi Ashlee! My oldest will be 11 this year, and although we still have a few years to go before high school, I find your video very insightful!
I would love to know if your screen time rules have changed now that your kiddos are older? I heard you say that something that keeps them motivated to get their school work done is that they know they will have free time, and that makes total sense! I would love to know more about what that free time encompasses, and I was wondering if video games/tv/shows was part of that free time, or what is allowed and encouraged during that window of free time?
I try to be limiting when it comes to screen time, but sometimes I don’t know if I’m “over the top”. If it could be used as a motivator for my kids to work diligently, and then have the option of *some* screen time, of course within reason, then I might need to consider. Sometimes I feel as if I treat screens like they’re the enemy, and I don’t want to inflict that on my kids, when screens can be a useful tool.
My kids only want screen time to play Roblox (and yes I monitor what they play on there), so I guess it’s not entirely being senselessly entertained, but I’d love to know what your limits and allowances are on that!
I really find your knowledge very encouraging and insightful, as I am only 2 years into this journey, with a toddler in tow, and still sometimes feel like I’m all over the place, but you feel like a big sister who’s already gone before me and I truly value all of the wisdom you share on here with us! ❤
Please teach how you taught your kids to take notes
We use Band for our Girl Scout troop :)
That’s such a great resource!
I would like to start incorporating World Watch News with my kids after morning basket. Which subscription do you use and reccomend? My kids are young (5, 7 & 9)
If BJU HS Science courses are just not in the budget at all, what other Biblical worldview Science courses w/ labs would you choose?
Thank you! Love this video 🥰
It’s crazy to think we will have a high schooler in less than 1.5yrs. Already purchased the Logic course you guys did for this fall ☺️ can’t wait to learn along side my oldest
Check out dr shormann science!
My Practically Imperfect Life on You Tube has 2 highschoolers and posts a ton of information for those looking for CZcamsrs who also share more high school content!
Thanks for the mention!
Colleen, at simply joy filled living ,has a lot of high schools..go through her history..she doesn’t have the “collabs”, she is a Christian mama that is super sweet
Rachel @ourhomeschoolplan is really good for upper grade
What do you do to foster friendship with family members?
We study Gods word together every morning and spend everyday all day together
Thank you Ashlee for sharing all your advice and knowledge around homeschooling. It has been so helpful to me. My daughter did Shormann math last year for her seventh grade and although she did very well at it, it took her 2+ hours every day, which is obviously not ideal or realistic. This year she's using Math U See for Algebra but as the years go on I'd like to have her do math on the computer and utilize the auto grading. Would you suggest we give it another shot for next year with Shormann math? Is that a typical amount of time it takes? She did like that math curriculum. Thank you again!
No it takes my kids less than an hour in pre calculus
I’ve heard a lot of recommendations for Denison Math for kiddos that struggle with mathematics.
@@catherinepeacock8301 thank you, we will look into that, however she didn’t really seem to have trouble with math, she did really well so I was always puzzled at why it took so long. Perhaps she was bored or uninterested and would get distracted, which may go hand in hand with what Ashlee was saying in this video since she did her math not at the table where I was able to monitor her.
My daughter has done Shormann for 9th & 10th grade, she’s not distracted at all and it takes her almost 2 hours 🥴
We’re also using Notgrass History for HS 👍🏻
Highly recommend Denison. We just started it this year. We are using pre-algebra for my 7th grader who is not amazing or terrible at math, and he is loving this curriculum. He is grasping it really well, and he is completing lessons in about 30 min.
What electives have your kids done or considered doing? I’m starting to plan my kids’ highschool years and would love to hear what other homeschool kids do for electives.
They’ve done:
Calligraphy
Spanish 1/2/3
French
Hymn studies
Drivers Ed- Aceable
Psychology 102 (college course)
Campfire curriculum units (career studies)
Art from La we always count too
Thank you so much as always! My oldest is going into 7th , and I will have a 5th and 3rd grader.... I'd like to do history together. I know you did TGATB at one point and now do Not grass... Pros and cons to each? Recommendations?
They are different but tgatb no longer offers their courses so that makes the pros and cons of each null and void😉
Sorry I should have specified that I have year one of TGATB and just wasn't sure what to do with it now that they are making a new one. Is it worth using it since they are getting rid of it, or better to go with a different company altogether for this specific subject? I only have year one so I wasn't sure if I'd need all 4 years to make it complete, if that makes sense
@@brandigarrett844 no they can be done just as a one year study!
How do you know/decide what middle school classes can count towards high school credits?
Anything typically taken in highschool (so the level of the course study) determines that.
For those of us who have children who don’t want to pursue college but would rather do a trade but need 4 English credits…..how do you make TGATB work? They only have 3 English courses. And trying to jump into another curriculum isn’t always a smooth transition. If your kids didn’t want to do duel classes what would you do for that 4th English credit? Thank you.
My oldest is headed into 9th grade and I’m trying to figure out how to assign credits for some courses that may count towards her graduation requirements. She’s starting aviation ground school and working towards being a pilot but I can’t figure out if those courses are just a career elective credit or can count towards science and math? We are new to homeschooling… Any help or suggestions would be so appreciated!
Man, I need my homeschool group to get on Band. I don't do Facebook, so I don't hear much...
