    My kids love the Passports to Adventure!

    For the summer, early fall, and then again in the late spring (April/May), we do a lighter load to make more time for outdoor adventures, gardening, and self-directed art projects. (My 4th grader is currently sewing large scale soft toys, 3/4 of her height, and doing a lot of sculpting.) Our lighter load is: Read aloud, independent and shared reading, Math Lessons for a Living Education, Grammar Galaxy, journal writing, letter writing, Evan-Moor Skill Sharpeners: Math, Science, and Geography, and Evan-Moor Building Spelling Skills. (But not everything every day.) For the fall, winter, and early spring, we will use Oak Meadow as our main curriculum, as well as Artistic Pursuits, Kiwi Co. crates, and a few other odds and ends. Our newest and most exciting addition...our "one thing" this year...is Italian! We are learning together as a family at dinner time using Duolingo and TalkBoxMom. We're having a ball! Best wishes for a beautiful year!

    Curriculum wise, I have a 5th and 6th grader. They'll be using Math Mammoth for math, The Good and The Beautiful Language Arts, RSO Biology 2, and Story of the World volume 3. Our co-op has been cancelled for the 2020-2021 year, but another mom and I plan to teach science and history together.

  • @sharelleshobbies
    @sharelleshobbies Před 4 lety

    We have a 3rd grader this year- and we happen to be interest led and “curriculum dabblers” (mama gets bored after a month lol) but we are using Math U See and TGTB (all year 😉) and “Traveling the Parks”. And possibly some “Passport to Adventure”, outschool, Mel Science, Slime Kits, Science Kits, lots of hikes, and whatever else grabs our interest or sparks our curiosity. This is the first year I’ve decided to give myself permission to “dabble” and use a variety of resources.

  • @rebeccadula8626
    @rebeccadula8626 Před 4 lety +1

    Excited to see The Who Was units that you cover. We are also doing a zoology unit that will be a simplified version of what my son does for his senior year.

    We might try a new STEM program put out by Barnes and Noble, Story Design. It seems like it would be perfect to do with some homeschooling friends.

  • @Megnut3636
    @Megnut3636 Před 4 lety +1

    Thank you for sharing your plans for this school year. I ordered the What Your Second Grader Needs to Know and the one for Fifth grade for my two kids. Your videos are so helpful and my son loved your Who Was George Washington unit study. We used it as part of his first grade social studies curriculum. I also ordered The Tuttle Twins series so I'm definitely interested in how that goes for you and Emily. I haven't figured out how to fit them into our schedule...I may start out just as family read alouds and see if they get interested enough to dive deeper. I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos!

    @sarahbennett7235 Před 4 lety +1

    I have one daughter in 3rd grade this year. We are using Saxon Math 3, Notgrass Our Star Spangled Story for history, All About Reading level 4 with a grammar workbook from Amazon and Sassafras Zoology as well! It is only a half year science so depending if my 1st and 3rd grade like it we will do book 2 the human body for the second half of the year or just find something else.

  • @brookeharris3365
    @brookeharris3365 Před 4 lety +1

    I am ordering Tuttle twins also. My 4th grader is using the good and the beautiful math but it is actually level 3 because we didnt finish last years math and we are gonna kinda do a speed through of 3rd and move on to 4th as soon as she finishes. I have the journey through math books like you have here also. Still havent figured out math for my 5th grader. 2nd grader is doing apologia math. Notgrass 50 states along with my fathers world exploring the world I think is what it's called. I have been looking at so much curriculum lately it's all running together. I love watching you. Guest hollow beawolf is what I an using with them all for grammar and language. The way you approach learning is what i desire so much but I get so overwhelmed amd constantly feel like I'm not doing enough and I have 3 kids in different grades plus a 3 year old and I struggle yearly to get things going the way I want.
