6:13 started with the list

As a veteran homeschooling Mom and Grandma I applaud you sincerity in wanting to start your day glorifying God with your morning basket. I think all the materials you shared were great in regards to blending the faith materials, Bible, catechism, and prayer and virtue. God bless you and your little ones.

Really enjoyed this flip through, I would love to use this for our morning time it looks beautiful! Thank you for doing this video

Your video was so encouraging! I am definitely going to order those books, especially excited about the Rise Up one- it’s just what I was searching for last night! I’m on my tenth year homeschooling, with lots of ups and downs but morning time has always been my treasure for the years I did it, which was most of them, it keeps me wanting to homeschool! I love your picks, and even after so many years of doubting myself I see the fruits of my older children- taking their faith seriously, getting confirmed this year and becoming well rounded youth that I feel so blessed that God led me down this path, even as frail as I am and however badly I homeschool- God takes over, I can’t take credit. Thanks for sharing this video I will watch your others, you seem so peaceful and strong in your faith, good for you to take the time passing that to your children.

Thank you so much for these. So helpful! Curious why you decided to try to go back to traditional? You said you are on a waiting list.

Oooooh I’m SOOO late with this video!! But am so so grateful for your content! I just started our homeschool journey and I’m so wonderfully overwhelmed with so many beautiful resources! I love our Catholic faith!! 🙏🏻⛪️

I’ve a 7th grader also! (8th and 10th as well). Hope your year is going well. 🙂

How can you get your kids to sit down and read and listen and everything without getting bored or complaining and having to be interrupted yourself with a baby 😢

Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it! It’s my first year homeschooling my four school aged kids (one in kindergarten) and your videos are a ton of help!!!

What is the name of the shade for the lip color you use from Ilia?

If you like TGTB Language Arts K you would probably love their Math K too. I also like Math w/ Confidence but it’s a little teacher heavy whereas TGTB Math is so sweet simple and honestly just fun.

I also am underwhelmed by explode the code. I still got it this year for two of my kids but I’m not really sure why 🤣. It’s basically a filler busy work while they wait to work 1:1 with me. Did you look at Simply K math from TGTB? I’m using it for my Kindergartner this year. TGTB math doesn’t work for all my kids but K is so simple and easy to modify I’m not worried at this age.

All of mine our littles but taking notes 📝🥰🙏🏻

Thank you Jenna ❤️ Wondering if you guys are doing coops or not or how you hand the socialize aspect for the bigger girls 🙏🏻

You mentioned in one of your recent videos about an online resource for ALS courses I believe your older daughter was doing - I can’t find the reference or the website do you remember the resource ?

Do you find the Not Consumed studies Catholic friendly? I’ve been intrigued by them but concerned about that aspect.

I’m going to homeschool my 3!3 year toddler, I’m nervous but excited and praying that we can hopefully put him in Catholic School but if not homeschooling will be the best option!! God bless you and your homeschooling journey!

Look at notgrass for history

I feel the same, this officially my 4th year homeschooling & I still consider myself a newbie.

Yes! I definitely know how you feel!

Looks like a great year ahead. I totally understand how you feel. You’re definitely not alone. Looking forward to hearing how your GR history goes. Just subscribed. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and happy to be able to connect here 😊

I LOVE BJU Press for Language Arts! Clear and lessons are simple to follow. My son didn’t do well with tgatb too and had to switch from that too.

Fear not mama! You are not alone! Lean into your calling and the Lord will guide your steps 💜

I’m curious of BJU have heard of that, let us know how it goes ❤️

Totally have whispers in my ear saying what are you doing ? Jenna loved your chat on catholic homeschool week. God bless youuuu Please keep sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Blessings ☺️🥰🙏🏻

Don’t feel alone. I am totally with you this year. Each year, I question if we are doing the right thing with homeschooling. All 5 of the younger ones want to do full time homeschool this year. Last year the 5th and 8th grader were doing Great Hearts Online. They both told me they want to homeschool this year. This year I will be homeschooling 9th, 6th, 4th, 2nd and 1st. I am slightly freaking out! The other 3 are in college. Their school is easy for me 😂 In all reality we take it a day at a time and reevaluate what works best for our family when needed.

Please share if you ever find vocal/piano. My 10 year old daughter is showing a lot of interest and sings pretty good honestly. Thanks for sharing this video! Lots of good stuff ❤️

Don’t feel alone! We’re just cruising through with plenty of prayers 🤣 thanks for sharing!

What are you most looking forward to using this year?

We are starting TGTB pre-k this year and I anticipate dipping into K-prep with them too so I’m really excited :)

That was great! Thank you for sharing ☺️ I'm excited to see the kindergarten curriculum, my son will be in kindergarten next year.

Also, because I love finding Catholic homeschool resources, Our Lady of the Rosary Family Catechism is a new completely free family style catechism video class with printables and online tests if you want for older kids. I’m planning on using with all 6 of mine this coming year!

Have you looked into Catholic Textbook Project history books? If you need independence in that area. They are textbook/workbook style but my boys have really liked them.

Congrats, on baby #7! We’ve loved Into the Deep this year! I’ll have to check out the Journey Homeschool Academy for science. I had a baby right in the beginning of this school year and TGTG Level K Language Arts & Math made homeschooling my kinder kiddo a breeze. 🙏🏻 for a beautiful homeschool year.

What curriculum do you LOVE for middle school?

We are doing a very similar list for my 8th grader!! :) congrats on baby #7!!

Are there any other books you use for saint stories since that book doesn't have all of them? I have that book and love it but am looking for more books to add so that I can read a story about a saint everyday.

This is so helpful ❤

Discerning and loving this

We loved Beautiful Feet when we used it. The past few years we've been using Story of the World, but I'm debating going back to BF since we've been through the SOTW cycle already.

Oh, I wish I had seen this before I just ordered and received God's Plan in Scripture by Ascension. But I couldn't help myself, I also ordered level 2 of this one as I love how it's laid out! Thank you for showing it.

Faith and Life activity book has worksheets out of Baltimore Catechism.

Yaaaay!! I'm so excited to have found a new Catholic homeschooler-TH-camr! This makes me so excited 🥳 going to binge all your videos! Btw i resonate with your message that the Lord has given us what we need in our curriculum. My problem is I like to look ahead and see what I'll use 1-4 years into the future, when i should probably just take it a year at a time and focus on the present moment. I have my eye on a few things you are using, but since I have a Kindergartener and 1st grader, i have to hold off on those still.

Is journey science Christian based?

Thank you Jenna loved what you share at the end, starting homeschool my first year and trusting God that he called me he will lead me 🥹♥️🙏🏻 🥶God bless I am also starting with the good and the beautiful math😍🙏🏻 and just ordered into the deep.

I'd love to hear your thoughts -- is this something you struggle with or have thought about? And have you used any of the curriculums we're using? What have you thought of them?

Thanks for the beautiful encouragement! I’m guilty of constantly questioning what we’re doing and searching for “better options” instead of just being present with what we’re doing and where we’re at. We all want the absolute best for our kids and it’s a lot feeling that it’s all resting on our shoulders as homeschooling parents. We forget God has given us exactly what we need and to be content in that. I forget and am exerting time, energy to the search instead of just focusing on what’s in front of me. Getting distracted instead of intentionally being present. Praying for contentment and peace this school year.

Love this!♥️♥️♥️

“I can feel good about it because the Lord has called me to it”…sums it up beautifully! So no Gather ‘Round? I thought it was one of your most recommended and because I’ve heard you talk about it i am close to purchasing year 1, please let me know your thoughts..I have a second grader and kindergartener…thank you for any input!
