We are going to do Guest Hollow History 2. If we were to add one of the four books you mentioned at the start - which one would you recommend above the other 3?
If I had to choose one? It's hard to choose one reading/reference book however I'd go with "A Young People's History of the United States." After that, I'd choose "A Different Mirror."🌻
As a former teacher, the only curriculum I've ever taught were Abeka, BJU, and Purposeful Design. It amazes me how many there are that I've never heard of!
@@Bullsandbarrels24 hey! I taught 6th grade math and science with Purposeful Design. I will say at first it was pretty difficult to follow. I think the best way to describe it is chaotic. You'll probably get a CD that has additional resources but it makes it hard to find the things you need. The other thing about this curriculum is it is on the harder side. Only the above-average students did well with this curriculum. The average and below average students struggled quite a bit. But it grew on me once I went into my second year teaching it. I do also like the way they incorporate a Christian perspective! Honestly I had a love-hate relationship with it 😂 The parents got very confused at times too and wanted the school to change the curriculum (which I believe they did eventually). If you decide to go with it, let me know what you think! I'm curious of other's opinions of it!
@@alexandraashley that’s one of the grades I purchased lol! Were you using it prior to the second edition coming out or did you use 2nd edition? I looked at the supplemental black lines and memory masters and found all that. Would you describe it as a spiral curriculum? We’re coming from a more mastery based program. I got it because my oldest loves science and stem and it seemed like he would be able to relate to PD interest wise. It also seemed like PD would help prepare them more for High School level Math? But now I’m nervous! Haha I’m used to hands on teaching them math, but I don’t want it to feel chaotic and I’m hoping there’s enough practice problems for one of my kids who is good at math but needs a few extra times to really master concepts.
@@Bullsandbarrels24 I believe it would be considered a spiral curriculum. I definitely don't want to scare you away from it because like I said, it has really good things about it! I actually learned a lot of things I didn't know teaching the science😂😂😅 I believe I used the second edition but I can't completely remember. If you have any other questions though, feel free to ask away! 😊
The thought of a new school year beginning is too much at the moment. I think I will be ready in a week or two. I love how nurturing you are with the kids.
Its a pleasure to watch and learn from your content.I love bible studies and life skills. We add that too, we learn cooking and starting a business. Its an encouragement.I wish I could find some of these resources in french as well. I'll look them up, probably for later because we are in grade 8 now.🙂💕
This was great. We have used several iew theme based units and they are great. Overwhelming when first learning how to use the KWO but overall a solid program.
We are reading through Howard Zinn's A Young Peoples's History. I'll check out your other selections. My eldest is now entering 8th grade, though. The Chemistry in the Kitchen class looks fun! Thank you for sharing :)
We LOVE kitchen science! Big Apologia fans in our house. IEW, too! Would love to see your hymn study. Looking into a Life Skills book for tweens by the same author. Great choices! Thank you for sharing!
Love Chemistry in kitchen idea, i have learned alot from your channel. Once thing i caj tell you are super organized. Wishing you and your family Blessed independence day 💐🇺🇸💜
So good! Great curriculum and thanks for sharing your thought processes, too. As an aspiring homeschooler (don't even have kids yet), this is helpful to know ahead of time. I love your Christian perspective in all of it especially!
You are absolutely amazing! I only have a 2nd grader but watching your videos gives me so much hope for what the resources I can use for my kiddo in high school. Thank you for another great video.
What about Campfire Curriculum Natural Medicine for Health or part of it, my oldest will be combining that unit study with Apologias High School Health course and some supplementary reading. For a Hymn study there are 2 levels available from Heritage Mom blog and Not consumed also has one.
I love love how involved you are in the homeschooling process. My wife and I started homeschooling a couple of years ago and we still trying to figure out our group. It seems like for the most part you found yours so that's awesome!
Would you be interested in documentaries and videos on nutrition and such? There's another homeschool mom here that has health playlist that I could share if you are interested. I also think that the daily grace co has some traditional bible studies and has something for hymns. I know I remember seeing something. I really love their studies.
Good morning sweet friend! 🤗Heritage Mom has a hymn study that I think you'd like. I've really had to be disciplined about watching curriculum videos but when I saw yours pup up I knew I needed to watch it. 😆 My kiddos are still in lower elementary school so you're prepping me for whats to come! 🥳
I love your videos as you homeschool similarly to how my family does-- using a variety of curriculum to personalize a high school class for each of my kids and their specific needs. :)
Simply Charlotte Mason has a hymn study called "Singing the Great Hymns". I am not sure if it is what you are looking for, but it might be worth checking out.
Chemistry in the kitchen sounds cool! Great to have HS planner👏🏽 your sons editing technique is very good 👍🏽 I’m sure your videos are of great help to many! God bless all your efforts 🙏🏽 7:12
I always admire you CJ for homeschooling through high school 😀 - I am still a ways away from High School but it is interesting to start looking at stuff. We have been doing IEW already - so mostly we will continue with it. Look forward to seeing your 7th grade curriculum choices since that is what we are starting this Fall for the first time.

What did you think about ACSI purposeful design? I just purchased it to look through it and consider it for our next math curriculum.

@@alexandraashley thank you so much!! I do love the integration of stem with the math, and that Biblical truth is part of it as well!

Good pointers on equipping your kids so they become inquisitive and brave to ask questions.
So interesting to hear your reviews.

Solid indeed. 🌻

Eighth Grade was a great year for my son. I now have a daughter entering eighth grade. The time just keeps ticking away.🌻

So many great suggestions listed here for me in the comment section. I have some hymn study research to do. Glad to have you here. 🌻

Thank you Saira.🌻
I like the mix here of American history resources. Let them see as many perspectives and let them put the pieces together. :)
I love how you worded this! My thoughts exactly. 🌻
So good! Great curriculum and thanks for sharing your thought processes, too. As an aspiring homeschooler (don't even have kids yet), this is helpful to know ahead of time. I love your Christian perspective in all of it especially!
Appreciated.🙏🏽🌻
For a hymn study my daughter used daily grace CO’s study on classic hymn books, along with not consumed’s still singing.
I'll check this combo out. Thanks so much. 🌻
I like how well-thought-out your choices are. We used that same chemistry book for 10th grade science.
Thank you very much. 🌻
This was great. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate you tuning in!! 🌻

I have connected with many people locally via FB & word or mouth. It’ll come around to you as well- don’t you worry.🌻

I also think that the daily grace co has some traditional bible studies and has something for hymns. I know I remember seeing something. I really love their studies.
That would be great to look into. Yes- please share. 🌻
I’ll check out Daily Grace. I’ve been meaning to purchase some of their cool mugs and devotionals. 🌻

Wonderful supplements with books. I am having a hard time with audio on your video.
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the audio. Thanks for tuning in. 🌻
Good work!
Thank you!🌻

Oh cool! Yep- I customize like crazy over here. I appreciate you tuning in. Have a fun summer.🌻
I want to go back to school and have you as a teacher
I just purchased Nutrition Science Complete Set at Rainbow Resource. Love your videos! :)
Awwwww…… thanks so much for tuning in! I appreciate the recommendation. Will check that out. Thanks a bunch. 🌻
Chemistry in the Kitchen looks like it will be so much fun.
It already is. I’ll be posting fairly soon about their four week course my son is doing. Thanks for tuning in. 🌻
So many great choices!
