I've had those years when it was bare minimum and just survival.... homeschool is a cycle, which I know you already know. Some years we can do more, some years we have to do less... I just love we all have that flexibility :)
My husband, who never liked to read, liked Tuckett's Travels. I'm not sure who the author is but he reads it aloud to our boys and they all enjoy it. It's adventurous but I can't tell you much more than that as it's their thing and I haven't listened much.
G.A. Henty is a very exciting author of historical fiction books. I do often read his books out loud because I like to edit as I go. They are very accurate and sometimes a little gruesome. But extremely engaging for boys (and for my girls as well), describing battles and struggles of a young hero. He wrote a long time ago so the books might even be in the public domain.
You completed real life unit studies!
I use Homeschool Planet for my planner, but I STILL ordered the Not Consumed Homeschool Planner bc of the thoughtfulness that goes along with her planner! I realized I needed that to stay focused and grounded bc it's not just about the assignments.... it's so much more than that! So, I'm excited to use it for the first time this coming year!
My 11 year old son loved My Side of the Mountain
The Holy War was recommended to read for boys, and History Smashers or Hazardous Tales.
Can’t wait to hear what you plan for next year! I’m here for it. It’s exciting lol
I’m super excited to hear about your school plans for your 6th grader.
My boys LOVED the Wingfeather Saga books and also the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series!
I love that you're embracing how God created boys/young men to work. You are training them well to be providers. My son has that drive as well, and he's just 9. Also, we LOVE Farmer Boy, honestly the entire LHOTP series, we finished up The Long Winter in our school year. We will definitely read that one again in the future. Sign of The Beaver was a favorite with my son, a classic and easy read that would be a fun unit study also.
Jules Verne? Around the world in 80 days, journey to the center of the earth, 20 thousand league under the sea. He has so many!
My kiddos (2 boys, 2 girls) are enjoying the Boxcar children mysteries. We read them together.
My 12 year old son has loved the “Chronicles of Narnia” series, Chuck Black’s “The Knights of Arrethtrae” series and “The Terrestria Chronicles” by Ed Dunlop.
Sorry if these have already been suggested-we’re in the middle of moving and renovating as well! 😆🤪 Andrew Peterson- Wingfeather Saga, Franklin Dixon-Hardy Boys series, Ted Dekker-And They Found Dragons series, Shirer-Prince Warriors, Dekker-Dream Traveler’s Quests, S.D. Smith-Green Ember, Hutchins-Sugar Creek Gang 😬
Mysteries of Cove is a great series!
I’ve used those laundry products for 6 years now, it’s the best! I’m sensitive to fragrances and this works so well for me. Light, fresh smell, but it’s not overpowering in any way.
I love your channel I’ll watch anything you post you are very inspiring keep doing you
Aww, Lisa! THANK YOU!!!! 🥹❤️ In the wild world of youtube... that means so much to me!
I could not agree more! Whatever you post, I’m here for it! 🥳♥️
My son has read and re-read the Ranger's Apprentice series probably 3-4 times over the years (he's currently 17 and started them when he was 11ish years old).
I’d recommend the missionary story of Bruce Olson - Bruchko - for a readaloud for your boys.
It's so fun to see how everyone does homeschool differently! My kids and I would all rather stick our hands in a meat grinder than do a read aloud 🤣 Here everyone powers through math and language arts, the older ones read their own chapters in history and science and we move on with our lives as fast as we can. 😅 But it's still nice to hear what others do and pick and choose things from different styles!
I have boys a 15 and 9 year old 15 yr old has worked since younger on our farm and machine shop they are country boys lol and we just finished the 8th book in Ralph moody little britches series and it was so so good been reading to my eldest son since he was 9 and it was his favorite book/series we have ever read so many life lessons in a such a good real way it’s a true story and we read it as a family every night w my husband he loved it also so good if I only had one pick w country boys out of all we have ever read which has been a lot the little britches series would be it
Ok, tell me! Where is everyone finding the Little Britches series?! Everywhere I see them, they are like $50/book! They must be legit! Hahaah!
Truly free - why is it so watery!? I feel like I need to use a bunch of it. Also we have an OLD SCHOOL top loader.
Girl! We are old school, too! 😎 Top load all the way! It is a bit runny, but a little bit goes a long way! Even in our old school, top load washers. 🤩
My son got into a culinary VoTech and he will be gone morning. Definitely an adjustment for me and his brothers.
That is incredible, Mama! With it, I also understand the change. 🥹❤️
Thanks for sharing with us! Love your videos! Here’s some book collections your boys may enjoy.
Books by Lane Walker -
Hometown Hero book collection.
(moody publishers)
Gilbert Morris-
Bonnets and Bugles Series
I am going to have my son read rifle.. Pretty sure that's the name. A guy went around the country to speak to World war 2 vets to hear their stories than they sign a world war 2. Rifle. The idea of the story just sounds amazing to me
Hi! My boys all time favorite book was Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan. We listened to it on Audible and the narrators are great!
What have you used for your unit studies with your boys? I've got teens and I'd love some good ideas
Oh I’m so trying Truly free!!! I’m not loving every other “clean” product I’ve tried so many and I refuse to support mega-corps 🤷🏻♀️😂
I don’t homeschool but I’m still here to end! 😆 Love your personality and your heart.
Awwww yay! You are amazing! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! 🤗❤️🙌
Little Britches by Ralph Moody! I haven’t read it yet, but I’ve heard really great things about it. And I think it’s a series too. Someone compared it to the little house series- like little house on the prairie for boys!?
📚Check out Generations Literature sets 🥰
Look on So lights book list, Ambleside on line.
My son loves the Hachet Series, by Gary Paulsen.
Bob Schultz books are amazing, we read them out of order but Boyhood and Beyond was our favorite! We studied Ancient History this year and my boys loved The Hittite Warrior and Bronze Bow. They also recommend all the YWAM missionary boys even the ones about women...haha! Thanks for the laundry recommendation, but what are your thoughts on the ECOS brand?
Oh thank you for all the recommendations! I apprecaite you taking the time to share those with me! The Ecos brand is what I used to use, and the smell didn't last for our family. 🤷♀️
I am in a place where my kids are in a different season because they are 17 and one just graduated. I have been in a grieving period. It is weird. lol
Ohhh sweet mama....a very different season for sure. ❤️🥹❤️🥹
I've heard a lot about Lamplighter books recently. It seems like good quality Christian literature that displays strong moral lessons.
Thank you so much!
You may have already answered this so I’m sorry if so! What state are you located in? I’m new to homeschooling this coming year and I know the regulations vary state to state.
Hey friend! I'm in Idaho❤️
Holes, hatchet, call of the wild
I second this! My 11 year old daughter is loving Call of the Wild! Ol Yeller as well!
Yesss! We have read all 3! Hahahah! So, so good! We are going to buy two others from the Gary Paulen series as well. Hatchet and The River were both a hit!
