ALREADY MAKING CHANGES AND HOW WE ARE STEPPING INTO THE HOMESCHOOL YEAR | Homeschool Planning
What would a new homeschool year be without changes? We changed things too.
🤣 for real!
Sorry for talking so long to comment. We’ve been so busy. Thank you for hosting.
Girl, I totally understand that 🤣
We changed to IEW also this year from TGATB for the same reasons! We are LOVING it! I highly recommend TGATB for 1st time homeschoolers (easy, open and go) but after a few years you know your child well enough to tweak for what works best for them! I really appreciate your honesty and leaning in to HIM to find what works best!
Congratulations and many answered prayers about your sweet baby!
Thank you so much ❤️ I agree, open and go curriculums are the best when you’re new and still learning to navigate it all and find a routine.
Love your honesty! 😂 I hope it is a great year! Sounds like some good changes for you and your kids with curriculum
Haha thank you! I hope you all have a great year too!
Hey girl! OMG, I love that poetry kit! I haven’t r heard of it before, so I’m definitely going to check it out. 😃
It looks amazing! I’m so excited to use it
Thanks for sharing! Never heard of IEW, but hope to check it out!
❤️
I love following your journey! We have already made numerous switches too 😂
It’s something about this year 🤣 I’m calling it right now
I agree researching it for yourself is best because some of the reviews on groups can be confusing. Thanks so much for sharing !
❤️
Love falling in love with IEW and geeking out at the convention together.
Yes!!!! It was so fun going with someone else to his talks.
Can’t wait to hear how y’all like iew. We’re going to be doing the same with level 1a and I’m dreading it already with the long lectures.
Lol I’m not looking forward to that part but think it will be good overall
we are in week 5 for this school year already and so far things are going well. I had a good feeling about everything this year and so far so good. We switched to Math U see this year and so far it's going really well and I'm glad I decided to do the swap. Hope everything goes well for you guys!
Ohhhh I’m so glad it’s going well for you! It’s nice to hear success stories of a curriculum when you decided to change to it so thank you for sharing.
Change as many times as you want!
Preach 🤣
That’s so funny! I heard Andrew speak at our convention, and I decided to use it with my girls. This is our first year using IEW and AAS.
🤣 he’s so persuasive without trying to be!
I love easing in. I’m 2 weeks away from starting & feel totally unprepared at the moment. I think I totally over purchased & may just have to put some things on the shelf & be realistic. I love that you’re starting w/ read alouds & Bible. I may take that plan. 🥰
I definitely feel like I purchased too much for our morning basket materials so I plan on doing a loop schedule. That way we can use everything but it’s not intense and stressful. I hope your year starts off great in two weeks!
It takes courage to change things up after the initial investment and planning! 🙌🙌 love it
Thank you ❤️
I feel completely the same. I wanted to start our new school year at the beginning of August, and we haven't really started yet... ugh. We're going to officially start after Labor Day because I still need to nail some things down and do some prep work to feel better prepared. We're doing a few things now, but it's not as structured. My threenager needs structure and so do I. haha
Hahaha my almost threenager needs the same
I love your takeaway from the homeschool conference, "you do not have to be perfect to start." Sage advice. We started our fifth year this past week. We are easing into this year, slowly adding in activities (swim music, homeschool PE) to see what works. In previous years, I have overscheduled us. Always learning, always growing. We are hybrid homeschoolers and our son attended one day this week of his two-day-per-week on-site brick-and-mortar school. Have a great year!
Yes! We always try to start slow and it’s so so helpful. So glad that advice helped ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful homeschool year as well!
Easing in is great. We're gonna go slow at first too
It makes it so much easier to find a routine! I hope your year is great!
We are drawn to a lot of the same things...we switched to MathUSee a couple of years ago. Their customer support is really good, too! We did CC at the very beginning of our journey, but it was too intense for us, lol. I love Andrew Pudewa, too, and his curriculum is very well done. We have his poetry book, too!
I was going to start school today (Wednesday) but I do not feel ready quite yet!So I pushed our start date forward to Monday. All the best to you in this new school year and with all of your family adventures 😊 ❤️.
Curriculum besties! How have you liked the poetry?
So glad you’re being flexible with when to start your year. I hope those extra few days help you to feel more prepared ❤️ and that you also have a wonderful homeschool year!
The poetry is awesome. My son has loved it so far. This last year, we did the SCM Poetry Study with Robert Louis Stevenson, but we still went back to the IEW poetry from time to time. My son remembers most of the poems we have done with IEW so far. We didn't always listen to the audio CDs. It's great for fluency. Thank you for your encouragement! @@HomegrownHomeschool
We started win mid may but we started with minimal plans and slowly!!! This year we had a long Easter break!!! We love world watch news!!! We started our year with math as my kids love to get math out of the way in time for extra science in January!!! I will add in math supplements after the math curriculum is finished!!! I don’t have any kids In TGTB math!!! My youngest is doing math with confidence and I have one doing grade 3 to fill in gaps and my nephew is the only one doing math you see as my kids don’t like math you see!!! My other kids are doing Singapore and easy peasy!!!
A long Easter break sounds like one of the best things ever!
I'd love to see an in-depth flip-through of Primary Arts of Language and how it works. We also have Poetry Memorization! It is a beautiful package. I said the same thing about the case. 😂
Once we’ve used it for a bit and I understand it better I’ll definitely do a flip through!
@@HomegrownHomeschool awesome! Can’t wait to see it!
We love Simply Charlotte Mason math because it is really hands on!
Ohhh that’s good to know!
We began the with no plans to change and ended up changing everything the first week in lol
lol well I hope your changes work out for the rest of the year!
I love the you don't have to be perfect to start! Couldn't agree more.
A friend of mine really likes IEW and I keep meaning to look into but here we are about to start the school year and I still haven't bought anything 🫠
Girl, let me see if I can find his talk on teaching boys vs teaching girls. That and the one I listed in the description bar totally had me sold and you know we’ve struggled with LA!
I’m am glad I don’t have to be perfect to start… because 3 days in and I’m still scrambling! Glad I’m taking 2-3 weeks to really get going.
Everyone I talk to says the same. I think it’s just something weird about this year!
@@HomegrownHomeschool yes… it does seem that way doesn’t it?
I already made a change and we haven’t started yet. I spend money (a lot!) for two planners that I realized won’t meet my needs. So I bought one from The Waldock Way that I’m able to edit. Its perfect! And much less expensive than either of the two previous planners. 😊
So glad you found a good one! I didn’t even know she had a planner!
Oh! I didn’t think I was a planner kind of girl until I got one. I mostly got it to keep up with the household tasks. I’m glad I didn’t have to drop money on more than one. 😬 ouch! Maybe you’ll be able to bless someone else with it.
We love math u see! I hope you like it too. 😊❤
I hope so too! Its been good so far ❤️
We are 2 weeks in and I am changing up history already, we were going to do Curiosity Chronicles and are now moving to History Quest😂
I hope History Quest works for you!
I used masterbooks then TGATB too haha and then switched to sonlight for history and geography and I found myself doing language arts the CM way so now we rest using Ambleside Online. We also use math U see. It’s the perfect combo. We plan on trying IEW for highschool but doing language arts the Charlotte Mason way is said to be enough so for now that’s where we rest. We did use writing with ease for a bit and that really helped my son see a different way from public school. We are testing out writing and rhetoric though this year for my 10 yo because I fell in love with it.m and it’s more creative schole.. But I love the true classical CM way. Just have to be careful not to mix true classical with NEOclassical bc they are different.
How funny! I love the CM way too. It’s such an enjoyable approach to learning.
You’re allowed to make changes!!
So true! I just wasn’t planning on it this early in the game 🤣
I have made so many changes so far that I am losing my ever loving mind and probably come across as superrrrr finicky or crazy on my last several videos 😅
That’s exactly how I felt about my changes 🤣
We love Math U See
It’s always nice to hear good things about a curriculum you’ve chosen lol
I'm on the struggle bus to find a LA curriculum for my daughter. I don't even know if we'll use one or not. I have a feeling that I'm going to throw something literature-based together. I don't know. I have no idea what I'm doing this year. 🤪
Girl, look into IEW. Listen to the talk from Andrew Pudewa that I linked in the description. I swear he makes it all just make sense! We’re a few lessons in and loving it so far. Even the fix it grammar has been a hit so far. My son is literally busting through one weeks worth of work from it a day with a goal to finish the whole thing in a month 🤣 I’m waiting for the newness of the year to wear off before he ditches that idea LOL otherwise I’ll be buying the next set by October
@@HomegrownHomeschool We love Andrew Pudewa! I do have Structure and Style level A that I’ve used with another kid I homeschooled. My struggle is that my daughter is only 3 but she’s reading. I’m just not sure what to do… I think she needs to be doing a full fledge LA program when she’s so young but then again… she’s so good at memorizing facts. Ahh! I keep going back and forth.
Why don’t you use masterbooks anymore
For my son I wanted something to challenge him more plus we were both getting a little bored. For my daughter I didn’t like their kinder set up
How did you like My Father’s World?
I only did the review for it because o was going between that and the one from Common Sense Press but when I went to our homeschool convention I decided to use neither and go with IEW
My friend loves MathUSee. I just did a review on our 4th grade math, Singapore Math that you may be interested in if you decide MathUSee isn’t a good fit
Oh! I didn’t realize you were having a baby!! Yay and congratulations!! I think the DVDs with MathUSee will be a GREAT choice for that reason. Probably for the next year or two also. 🏃♀️
Yay for IEW!! We’ve also tried TGATB and I liked it, but my kiddo wanted a change. IEW has provided such structure and yes it’s intense! But wonderful! We still have a few weeks from last year that we’re wrapping up this year, but I plan to keep going with it.
MFW Customer Service is great, too. We use IEW and Ambleside for Writing and Literature, but MFW for Bible, History, Science, Read Alouds, and Art. (We do a little art and music with AO also)
I’m flying by the seat of my pants more so this year than ever. I’m waiting for some news to even try to pin down much of a schedule or routine for the year. Today was supposed to be day one and we just kinda got organized and did some light stuff, including a nature walk and independent reading. I’m hoping to know more about what’s happening in my life by next week so we can get a solid start.
Pick up the peace!! 🙏 Thanks!!
So who caused you to change?😂 That's the beauty of homeschooling. We have the freedom to change whenever we want!😅
Andrew Pudewa 🤣 his talks will have you changing
I hate that CC parents complain so much about essentials and challenge changes. It isn't too much. You don't need to add the extras.i think a lot of time people follow CZcams or whatever instead of reading the actual curriculum.
They seriously had me terrified to try IEW 🤣 I even decided against another co-op when our group broke up because they also required it.
