    Heartwood Hotel series and My Father’s Dragon series.
    The Burgess books are a new love of ours. The chapters are short and enjoyable.😊

      Heartwood hotel sounds like a popular vote. :)

    My father’s dragon book is great! I also loved hearthwood Hotel. Not a lot of illustrations, but great for k-1st grade.

    I hope you have a fun time with your co-op! It’s always so nice when you can find a good one to join. We loved My Fathers Dragon! It’s actually a three book series. You all might like The Mouse and the Motorcycle too.

    Good for you for scrapping the curriculum that was not working.

      Thanks! It's always a bit disappointing to let go of something that I wanted to use and though would work, but there's no point in dragging through something that's not benefiting us.

    Love My Father's Dragon
    Sophie Mouse books are GREAT
    Zoey and Sassafras books have lots of pictures and are short.
    Trumpet of the Swany 4.5yo loved, but limited pictures, but short chapters

    I love an unexpected vacation plan 😊 Oh those read-alouds are so fun! If you are looking for more ideas, definitely check out the book lists from Sonlight, we loved all the read-alouds from the early levels.

    We are in our fall break at the moment!!! We love yr round homeschool as we break wen we want!!! We change our flow often!!! We love our co op and we host it!!! We meet weekly till end of January!!! We are a Christian co op and everyone works for the company we work for so we travel together as well!!! We use books for history and don’t do it with my younger kids!!! We love MWC!!! We are doing our Bible curriculum slowly!!! I see Bible as planting seeds at this age!!! We prefer get ready for the code than explode the code!!! I get attitude with explode the code!!! We find music happens when it happens!!!

    Thanks for sharing your update! It's always interesting to see what needs tweaked after the first few weeks in😅 The longer I homeschool, the more drawn I am to literature based history, but it also really needs to be interesting literature!😃

    • @journeyinthehome
      @journeyinthehome  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I think if my kids had been a year or two older it might've been great. I didn't dislike the literature, it was just above them.

    For extra read alouds, my kids have enjoyed Winnie The Pooh, Paddington Bear, Charlotte’s Web, the Little House series, Mrs Piggle Wiggle, Courage Of Sarah Noble and Thornton Burgess books

      It's always interesting to me how some people love certain curriculum while it really didn't work for other people. Good thing there are options out there. :)

    Look at heart of Dakotas visual history under their kindergarten program and or their first grade. The kindergarten is what we’re doing and it’s Bible history and early American. I think first grade is just American history. But we LOVE them.

      agree with HOD 🎉 we love it, use Little Hearts for His glory for kindergarten and planning to repeat the same thing for first grade, no rush before moving to beyond little hearts for His glory 🙏❤️
      So special and so many precious memories we are making ❤
      P.S. we use our own math and LA which they recommend that each family chooses what works for their family 😊
