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!
I absolutely cannot wait to see Traveling the World!!!!
We start our new school year Monday!! So excited!
Looks like fun! Another vote for a Look Inside Tuttle Twins...I've been eyeing that.
Life of Fred books are the greatest!!! My son LOVES them!!!
My daughter is in 4th grade but I love watching your videos
We are just using our library mostly! We will see what the kids gravitate towards and maybe find some unit studies for that as we go.
I like the idea of using a pre-made curriculum for a co-op.
I grabbed that Evan Moor Daily Fundamentals freebie too!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve been down the curriculum rabbit hole all day!
Loving all these videos and ideas! I can't wait to include Who was and passport to adventures this year!!!
I love that you follow her lead and interests. I can't wait to follow along this year.
Very much looking forward to hearing more about zoology and animals around the word!
I love these resources. We are not in 3rd grade yet but I also love researching curriculums to use in the upcoming years!
Would love to see a flip through of the right start card games.
This is our first year homeschooling. Kindergarten. 😊😊 your videos have been so helpful to me because you have an only & so do I.
Wonderful plans! I love that your daughter is a year ahead of mine. 💕
I have a 3rd grader too! I love looking at different curriculum and resources all the time myself. You have a great set up !
I'm using :
Math/LA/Reading/Art -Christian Light
Science - Berean Builder's
History- Mystery of History
Bible- God's calling for kids devotional, and Kay Arthur Bible study for kids.
Read alouds - Tuttle twins, George Muller, Pilgrims progress.
*Sci, History, Devotionals and read alouds are group subjects for us. I love that my 1st and 3rd grader can do it together.
We are using the gather round homeschool curriculum along with your survival school, national parks, & I plan on getting some of the who was unit studies thru out the year.
Love your choices and the lack of pressure of finishing thick workbooks. It should be fun and engaging! Love that you follow her lead. I always have a huge amazon cart after your videos!
What a fun year you are planning. We are headed into 4th grade and doing Creation to the Greeks.
Tuttle Twins for the win! We will be reading it as a family after dinners during my daughters kindergarten year and onward.
Great to see your choices! I am super excited to see, travelling the world. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 1st and 2nd grader so I love seeing what you use. We love our Usborne products!
I have a third, sixth and eighth grader and I'm also looking forward to using the Right Start math games.
Oh I would really like to do your national parks curriculum! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
I’m a big fan of researching curriculum as well. It’s just so much fun!!
Love your videos, super informative! Love to see how you tailor your homeschool for your daughter.
Thank you! Love your Who was series! And can’t wait to see more of your zoology unit study!
Your choices are great. I look forward to your suggestions and feedbacks all the time. Really thankful that our daughters are the same age.
Thanks so much for showing us your curriculum! We have a third grader also. One Evan Moor book we will be using is their Paragraph book.
I have a third grader and love seeing all the Usborne books you are using!
It all looks so fun
So much great stuff planned!
Excited to see what you think about the government books!
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.
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.
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.
so many interesting choices
I like you add games into learning we do the same thing to.
Thanks for sharing......we are using Seton Home study Curriculum
I hadn’t heard of some of these. Thank you for sharing! I love your creative approach.
We are excited to be using your National Parks unit for geography this year. But I can't wait to see inside the Around the World!
I always enjoy seeing your resources. Thanks for this video! I would love to see an in-depth flip through of the Math Journey series. Best wishes for 3rd grade!
Love your videos and your planner!! I have a 4th, 1st 3 year old and 9 month old. The materials I’m most excited about are Brave Writer and Wild Math💕
Looking forward to the video on the zoology unit.
I love all your ideas for themes! I’ve bought so much that you recommend. Thank you for sharing!!
I’m so excited to see your new unit study!
We just discovered the Who Was Series and love it. I need to check out your resources that correspond. Thanks for all the work you do. I have Grade 3 and Grade 4 boys so I'm always looking for new "out of the box" ways to teach them.
I have that usborne write your own storybook to inspire me to start writing again.
We are using sassafras zoology too. Following it with a marine biology unit study.
I love seeing what you are using as my daughter is going into 3rd as well. I’d love to see the right start games in a future video!
Found a few new things to buy- thanks!!
I am still figuring out what we are using. :)
Thank you! You are the best! Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m so excited to see what you come up with for Zoology!
Looks like great choices! My oldest is a third grader too!
Even though I only have a pre-K/kinder kid. I enjoy your videos so much! A friend introduced me to your CZcams a few months ago and I enjoy learning from you.
I just subscribed to your channel and have been hooked....I love lots of your resources! I have been so disappointed when buying box curriculum and it is refreshing to listen to you and how you homeschool. Thank you for all the information! I am going to binge watch your channel. I have a 3rd grader and a 5th grader!
Thanks for getting me hooked on Usborne books now 😁🤗
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.
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!
Love seeing all your choices now to watch more of your videos :)
I love your videos. I am so excited for the traveling the world curriculum. We are starting Passport to Adventures next week.
Love your choices. My oldest will be in 1st grade, but you always give me plenty of inspiration which I appreciate.
I can’t wait to check some of these items out! We are doing Waldock Wizards and Wands and a few other things next year.
Those are awesome choices. I have a upcoming 3rd grader and a 1st grader. We are using Grammar Galaxy, Story of the World, and Fun Schooling journals as are main curriculum. I will be adding in a ton of books and games too.
We are new to homeschooling and to your channel. I loved this video and your unit study ideas!
Thanks for another great video! I love seeing your resources
Love watching curriculum choice videos, thanks for sharing. We are doing sassafras science this year too. Looking forward to getting around the world curriculum when it comes out.
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.
As always, your school plans look fantastic!!! I am super eager to see Exploring the World...especially excited to see which spine you choose. :)
I love how u have a base book. I hate handwriting curriculums.
Sounds like a fun year. Can't wait to see what else you have planned. I would love to see what the Right Start math games look like.
This is my 1st year homeschooling. You have given me so many ideas. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Your videos provide such great inspiration for me! We’re going to be using Waldocks Wizards and Wands, so I am SUPER excited for that!
Great video! I have a 3rd & 2nd grader. We are using MFW and Evan Moor. 📚
Thank you for sharing! Could you walk us through a lesson of Exploring Nature with Children? Thank you.
I just got your Survival School, now I cannot wait for Traveling the World!
Hi, new here to Homeschooling. I currently have a 3rd grader and recently stumbled upon your channel and have been binging on your videos today. So much awesome information and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge.
You give me so many ideas and I love it. Thank you so much!!
We are using Michael Clay Thompson ELA/ Writing, singapore and beast academy for math, build your library for history and poetry, and I have a diverse selection of read alouds for Lit this year I'm excited 😍
Forgot science we are using Scientific Connections Through Inquiry level 3
Thank you for sharing
You remind me to follow my son's lead 😊
Great giveaway! You have so many fun things in your shop! I have a 4th grade and we use a mixture of things. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to get to some of the fun things more, so I think we will implement the fun/enrichment day!!
Great choices, I have never heard of sassafras science it looks like a lot of fun!
You find such great stuff
Love your videos! This one was great! I’m very excited to see more of the Travel the world. I love that you go based upon her interests! ❤️
I have to go check out the Rightstart math games. We love games here too!
Super fun choices! We are also starting cursive this year, I really like the wooden cursive board you chose to add. I just uploaded my first-grade curriculum video today, I'm so excited to get started. We added quite a few new things for first grade, but we are continuing on with some of our favorites such as All About Reading and Dimensions Math! We love utilizing Outschool and Reading Eggs :)
I have a second grader this year. It's fun that you are 1 year ahead...it helps me with future planning! 😉
We are starting first grade with my daughter and using Blossom & Root for our main curriculum, The Good and the Beautiful Math, Wild Math and we are going to try out Universal Yums! Thanks for the giveaways!
So many great ideas!! We are doing the Tuttle Twins this year too! 😊
We just got the title twins as well!
Thanks for sharing with us. I love seeing your game choices. My son had dyslexia and I am wanting to include more games this year. I will have to look into the right start math games more in depth.
Great resources. I liked your ideas for math!
I am ALL about making math fun!
Wow. Your name has come up a bunch in the fb homeschool groups I've been following thia year, but I had no idea you wrote so much of your own curriculum!!! Fun!!! Can't wait to explore your site more. My kiddo is 3rd grade, too😁
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.
Wow!!! I just stumbled upon your channel (thank you universe 🙏🏼). I too have a third grader and we are interest led/child led here as well. This video just opened my eyes up to so many options and choices!! Thank you so much!! I look forward to following a rabbit hole of your videos this weekend! Thanks again
