Thank you so much for sharing your picks. Looks to be a wonderful year ahead.

We enjoyed Moving Beyond the Page for literature this year. Trying them out for science next year. Happy planning!💗

I so look forward to your videos. Your kiddos are right around the same age as mine and I think it is so hard to find great content on youtube for these middle and high school years. My daughter is a rising senior and my son a rising 7th grader. Your prior recommendations of sabbath mood sciences and sharing how you have used living books in high school sciences inspired me to really customize my daughter's high school chemsitry this year. We started with apologia but half way through switched over to living books and narration. Thanks so much for the inspiration to do that. Keep the great info coming!

Love this video, and seeing some of the books you'll use. For biology, look at Guest Hollow. They have free online text with a lot of videos and lovely book choices...just another idea. Hope you have a great year! :)

Math You See is our go to. My daughter took it in 7th grade. She did Algebra I this year in 8th grade and will go into Geometry 9th. I discussed with her about which curricula she would change if we could and Math You See is one that she absolutely did not want to change

We love the Christian nature readers as well :)

I love your reviews and updates! You have totally sold me on learn math fast for my oldest struggling with math. I would love to see any in-depth reviews or flip throughs you do of the learn math fast books.

I can’t wait to do Chemistry in the Kitchen by Guest Hollow for my girls :)

Thank you for all this information. You are so honest with your feedback, and I love your goals ❤

This sounds really great! I've been interested in bookshark. And we have never read the who was books either because I thought the big heads were weird looking too. Haha! But the book you have looks awesome on the inside!

Does it review former concepts? Like does book 2 still have addition, subtraction etc?

Like your video but I can’t support the Good and Beautiful because of their religious affiliation even though their curriculum looks good.

Did you end up liking the planner?

Thanks for the beautiful recommendations! "Shadow and Light" sounds like it will be a good fit for us.

Great video! May I ask does the grammar book(orange one) and the critical thinking books come with answers in the book for the teacher?? I am really interested in them and I think my daughter would enjoy them. She's in 10th grade but struggles in Language arts. Thank you

Omg I’m convinced!!!! Just ordered for both my kids!!!! They have a discount for slightly damaged covers. 🎉

Yes please flip through on the grammar book.

You are one of my favorites on here! Great video! I always enjoy seeing what other homeschoolers are using.

Yes, please. Would love to see a flip through of the Best Grammar Workbook Ever. Thanks for the update--always good to see what happens when the plan meets real life!

Is there any way to get the scheduling resource without joining facebook? I don't have a fb account. Thank you!

I love your opening statement and immediately subscribed! Thank you for this super informative video! It was so helpful!!! Looking forward to more!

im really happy i found your channel! ive finally found new amazing curriculum id never heard of before. this sounds so amazing i cant believe its real, woke school, what a concept

Great choices. I'll have to read the novel by Yaa Gyasi. I hadn't heard of it. My son is 15 too. Some recommendations: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and Hidden Figures. I like the Young Readers Edition of both. Any book by Mildred D. Taylor. She has many. The Crossover by Kwame Alexander.

New to your channel. Great idea to use the ACE coding book and Udemy. I'm thinking about Oh Freedoms history program. I'm not sure I want to spend the money. I had a great chemistry teacher in high school. I hope your son enjoys the curriculum because chemistry is interesting. I had to take it and organic chemistry in college. Organic was 🤦🏾‍♀️ I never use all of anything. It becomes too overwhelming for me. I'm in SC too. Thanks for telling me about Mango. I'll get us set up.

When you did A Gentle Feast with your 9th grader, what are you counting the history as? 1 credit of world history?

I love the Well planned day planner. This will be my second year using it. I am excited because I feel like I have the hang of it now. I made a scrap book with last year’s planner. Excited to expand on that this year.

I am going to use this for my 7th grade daughter as well. I like the pace and the conversational tone. I am going to have to add a few review problems each day to keep previous concepts fresh, but we are looking forward to it.

Thank you for all the detailed information in this review! One small request, if you do something like this again in the future-- could you hold the page still? When you show the page by moving it up and down, you can't really see anything, and it is blurred if you try to pause the video to look at the page. But, again, thank you for taking the time to explain so much 💙

Quick question: How did you decide where to start your child in this series? We have been using Life of Fred, but one of our kids is getting bogged down with it. He's a "math thinker," if that makes sense, but he needs something different for his learning style.(I know he has some gaps, but he catches on very quickly.) He is a rising 8th grader.

Hello! Thank you so much for a through look at the books. I really have been stuggling with choosing a curriculum this year. I have been looking at using MFW rome to reformation and gentle feast cycle 1 as it seems it would cover about the same period. My upcoming forth grader and Kindergarter really like hands on so I am concerned about how much adaptations I would have to make. Do you have any thoughts about mfw vs Agf?

You do such a fabulous job making curriculum fit to your family! My son just turned 14 with a May birthday and since he is a couple years behind in math, we decided to keep him in 8th grade. We have been dreading high school....Apologia science, Notgrass history....they are so incredibly dry and boring. But you have given us hope! We will be using A Gentle Feast this year and instead of being a curriculum n a z I, I am going into it with an open mind. Thank you for your inspiration!!!

I was all ready to do AGF science in Form 2 as scheduled and then found your video... Now I'm not sure what to do! But I can totally relate with a lot of what you said. I don't want boring! I chose more textbook style sciences for my older kids and would really like a more CM approach for my youngers. But I'm afraid I won't love it once I pull it all together. I also like to plan for the year and not have to go searching for material midyear if we don't like something. :( Have you looked at Sabbath Moon for Form 2 ages? On a side note... we were using a Masterbooks science last year and ditched it mid year. We picked up TGATB Energy science and it was good, but LOTS of cutting and prep work. Several of the experiments didn't work, but thankfully she had videos so we watched them instead. I don't think I would recommend it or do it again, sadly. Did you find the Space one to be time consuming to prepare? I did happen to get the free download of that awhile back.

The handbook of nature now comes in colour - its separated into 8 books so that it's more easily transported out into nature.

We LOVEd biology 101 series…then chemistry 101…out of the box, layer out, no cutting innocent creatures

LOVEEEEEEEE learn math fast…Algebra 1 was amazing for our non mathy child. One lesson per week or speed it up if you need to. They author emails quickly too. Tried Saxon, TT,etc

I’ve run across this curriculum before but couldn’t find any reviews on it. Going to give it another look👀

I will definitely keep this one in mind as my backup in case what I chose for this year doesn't work. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this video. I felt so much more at ease with how to pick curriculum after watching. I'm trying to figure out how to homeschool vs school at home!

Khan academy has a math course for supplement.

Thanks for taking time to share. It is challenging to find reviews of materials for middle/high school students. I am interested in A Gentle Feast so your perspective was helpful.

What high school credits will a 9th grader will earn using this cycle?

Great choices, love TGTB. Are you on Instagram?

Is it a Charlotte Mason philosophy to learn about different time periods within one year? I've not got a ton of knowledge on it.

We love Life of Fred, the pre-algebra series is only 3 books and the language arts is 4 books. My son is just finishing up fractions.

I have picked this curriculum for my 9th grader and I am so excited..i am still watching videos about it 😀

Interesting picks, I will be doing TGTB with my 9th grader and we are very exited about it, i have seen so many videos about this particular curriculum and everyone was very pleased with it... I have not heard about other programs you mentioned so I will check them out for sure!

I love how you jump around! I do that too. :) But my oldest is 8yo, so it feels like a look into my future.

I love your videos BECAUSE your homeschool is so eclectic! This is very much how our homeschool is also.
