Every time I watch videos about easy peasy, I am just so darn impressed. I truly believe Easy Peasy Homeschool is a gift from God and made freely accessible to homeschooling families everywhere. The fact that this humble woman Lee Giles is willing to offer all this for free is admirable. And even when you choose to purchase the books, they are so cheap! $11 and under for the workbooks and under $7 for the parents guide! And this is all from one woman being led by God to put all this together, she did not have a curriculum making team, and hundreds of experts to rely on. It is just her and God and obviously He has gifted her for this! I have done the expensive curriculums, I have done the fancy ones, but what I found out in them, is that they are VERY time consuming, and with a lot of fluff, a lot of unnecessary components. Easy peasy homeschool is just that. Not easy in the sense the school work is not rigorous, because some would even say EP is advanced. But easy in the sense that to teach children should not be complicated, all you need is simple explanations and lessons that are straight forward. No fluff, no 2 page spread of like 25 problems per subject. If your children are practicing daily theres no need for so many problems! No need for a parents guide that weighs 2 pounds which so much information that one can get lost! Our family is finally giving EP a try for several subjects this year. And we are so excited to start!
We have used EP for four years now. Which means this year we are repeating our theme cycles!! It's super scary and also so exciting that we have made it through and now my oldest will be building on what we covered in 1-4. 😊
Thanks for sharing! We love EP and we have used it for a few years now! I just cannot get over the gracious hearts behind it all😊
We used EP for 2nd/3rd grade and then I got curious about other *shiny new things...this year I am using EP for my 6th grader & as part of my first grader's resources. We are loving it. I honestly don't know why we ever switched away from it.
Nice to see your review of Easy Peasy through the years.💕
We used the Preschool & are currently doing Learn to Read & Math 1!💜
Happy schooling to you! If you have any questions feel free to ask! Homeschooling is such a wonderful adventure you won’t regret!
My grandson has autism and he loves doing Easy Peasy for homeschool
I really like EP. We have used their math and music two years now.
New sub here. We started with easy peasy too. Fun to see families using it into the older years. We also have a channel and right now it’s mainly about homeschooling. It would be fun to be friends and connect here 😊looking forward to watching more of your content.
Thanks for this review. I'm going into year 3 and we are kind of stuck with this program due to budget reasons and I often feel guilty that I can not try the bigger, fancier stuff out there. And I'm like you on struggling to teach the Language Arts which is so strange as essays were my 'bread and butter' in school, so to speak. I never really understood the rules, I just knew I could write them and get a good grade. We do supplement with other free resources I find online so we can study topics that interest us. We do our own novel studies, for instance. We have only done our own science studies with library books and free note-booking pages but it's a lot of work and stress.
We hate projects in our house though. We skip a lot of them or glue the lapbooks into our notebooks. If the kids are not enthused then I end up doing most of the work and I make up a couple of my own curriculums so I'm not doing their projects too. Getting my special needs kid to write is like pulling teeth so if he writes anything for his essays, whether it follows the rules or not, is good enough for me. They did love the idea of writing their own plays about Ancient Rome so we spent a day making togas and props for their dolls and stuffies in a 'puppet' show. Then I had them do a review of a single book on a facet of ancient history rather than a big research project. They worked hard on that but it was already kind of hard for them.
You sound like you are doing great! You know your kids and you know their abilities and interests and good for you for taking the lead on that! Everyone is different and that’s ok…and I completely agree that it’s easy to feel guilty about not doing more or using a paid for curriculum which might give the illusion that it’s better but I am 100% sure EP has all you NEED, but good on you for finding resources for things you want to do more of!! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the review! EP is awesome! 💕
Thank you for sharing 🙏
This was extremely helpful, thank you! ❤️
No problem! I am glad it was helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know I missed some things so I plan to do a follow up video in a couple weeks!
My girls are currently in public school (5th grade & Kinder). We are thinking of homeschooling in the fall. I’m trying to find a curriculum that will be a good transition into home school. Like I don’t know if I should do a really structured curriculum since that is what they are used to from public school or if we should start right off the bat with a more relaxed Homeschool environment, if that makes sense? Are the workbooks colorful & engaging?
I guess it really depends on your family goals and your kids’ personalities. Every family is différent with their homeschool style and you might even find it changes over time.
As far as colorful-not really-online is more but I’m guessing to save money on the books then are mostly black and white. My girls don’t seem to mind. They love it for the most part. 😊
Looking forward to your EP updates. Loved the sneak peeks inside of the curriculum.
Hi there! Glad you enjoyed the sneak peak! Do you have any specific questions? Do you use Easy Peasy?
@@savoringtheseasons8249 I actually am all over the map trying to figure out what to use. 🤔🤪. I heard another TH-cam hs-mom share that the EP history & science programs some what correspond with each other. If that is true, I would love to see an example of that. Or any EP projects you & your girls have done.
I can certainly do a video including this! I need to go through our past stuff anyways!
@@breynolds7196 I got a video up with a few projects we've done. Maybe it will help you get an idea of some things to expect. There is so much more too, but we didn't save everything :)
@@breynolds7196 and I just realized I didn't answer your question about the science and history curriculum...I'll get to that too!
Hi Amy. How much do the books cost? Are you planning to homeschool the kids when they get to high school age? Does your State have achievement tests in Grade 3, 6, 9 and 12 like our Provincial tests in Canada? Easy Peasy sounds like a great homeschooling curriculum. Thanks for letting people know about it.
Hi! Thanks for your questions! I plan on doing a follow up video in a couple weeks and these are some great questions I will include in it!
3:32 the answer is ferocity, not ferocios.
😂 I didn’t even notice that. You’re quick!
This looks great. Do you use easy peasy both online and the books? X
Hi! We do offline for as much as we can. The history and science we do online as well at the electives that come once a week. (Art/computer/P-E/music)
Are you able to do the science etch offline? Is there anyway to do that?
No, as far as I know those are still only offered online…but if you wanted to keep your kids offline, you could always follow the scope and sequence and use printables and read alouds. Just an idea.
