Thank you! Long-time GRH user and follower of your channel…curious to know why you went a different direction for some HS history instead of GRH History units? I’m planning my first son’s freshman year and thinking through all the options…

Also, I cant believe your son is 10th grade!! I remember when he was 4th/5th when you started Gather Round. It is so awesome that you have been doing GR for so long!

We did Gather Round when my girls were younger and loved it. They are middle/high and in the CC Challenge program now, which has been great for them. I chose to do a Campfire curriculum for Christmas and, WOW, we LOVE Campfire. It is SO well done. We have thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas Carols unit from Campfire and will probably do one of their main units on the side during Morning Basket.

Thanks for this video. It really helped me to make the leap to Gather Round for my highschoolers and middle schoolers.

How did you end up liking this? I thnk it's laid out so well but all of the outdated information would bother me. Has it bothered you?

Looks cool

Thank you! This was very helpfull!!

God is sooo Good! Thanks for all the updates. I was wondering since the "little" cousins like history if you could find an affordable used copy of Berean Builders' Science. It is a history based science curriculum with pretty short lessons. You might can print out a sample and use that to tried it out.

I need so much info on the tracking. I am in Colorado and am getting ready for record keeping for high school with my oldest and am so nervous about it.

Thank you for sharing. Sorry to be a pain, but I couldn’t find the 24 spiral linked Amazon pocket notebook you mentioned in your Amazon store, which category is it in please?

Thank you for sharing about the Elections mini unit. I ordered it and am excited! I did look into the Thanksgiving units at both campfire and gathering. I ultimately decided against them. I was hoping to sub some of our morning reading with a unit but it was going to be more time intensive. We’re instead going to do a Thanksgiving Bible reading plan for November.

I really like the unit study idea. We have the car maintenance unit study from Campfire we are starting for my freshman. We’re using masterbooks science and history, Good and beautiful English and health Teaching Textbooks math geography book from Amazon because it’s cheaper than what I want. I want to buy everything lol but we’ve gone down to one income with me homeschooling. I go through some subjects and make flash cards for the questions due to attention span. It does help.

We did the All things spooky unit last year. We had a lot of fun with it!

I love that you share how you make unit studies work for high school. ❤ We aren't going to add any units in to our curriculum. We are using a world geography unit study as our main curriculum. We did a field trip to the voting booth and my oldest watched me vote. We discussed (prior to going) why its important to vote, and why I was choosing to vote for the people I selected. We discussed why some offices didn't have more than one person running for it. It was just a short day long thing. My children are 9YO, 3YO, and 4 months. There's plenty of time to do an actual study when they're a bit older. I want to branch out and try different unit studies curricula. Currently we use The Waldock Way's units, but most of hers I don't like. I change the ones we use, but I'd much rather have units that I could use in their entirety and not alter them significantly. We might try gather round or campfire curriculum. We will see. Are they done through a biblical or secular worldview?

I'm very glad your mom is doing well :D That must be such a relief for your whole family. I was just curious what unit study you're referring to for the Who Was series of books? After I finish doing A Bear Called Paddington we are going to read who was Isaac Newton next- it felt like a great next read to go along with Motion and Simple Machines (TGTB) and Middle Ages (GR). Maybe we'll build our own catapults as well :P That's amazing how you're homeschooling four boys! I ionly homeschool one and am ready to rip my hair out some days haha TGTB LA has done wonders for my son as well- it's his most hated subject but its' getting him to read and write a bit now which is fantastic. Glad the two boys are enjoying it as well :)

This is one of the most thorough flip through’s I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

I've heard really good things about the Vikings unit from Gather Round. I didn't buy it, but thought it looked fun and educational. Will your son complete the Gather Round National Park unit or Canada Underground? Those are two I'm still thinking about, and you gave a good inside look at them in past videos. Also, have you thought about Denison Math? If it was more affordable, I would definitely buy their math curriculum to make it less stressful for my daughter. High school math is hard.

Guys anyone can help me am a student looking for a free online schooling🙏

Have you seen Campfires new Christmas Unit? They are doing a novel unit for A Christmas Carol. They have a big project included of making a movie trailer. I know you have mentioned before that your son is really into film making. I just finished printing it yesterday. It looks incredible!

Love your updates! We are also not the same people from when I shared picks in April 😂

Volumes 6 and 7 of Learn Math Fast are HARD! I did them with our oldest child. I am going to use Denison Geometry with my next two kids. I just do not want to teach geometry again. It is hard and I need a break! 😅❤

I had that same math conversation with my son today. He hates it and argues how pointless it is. He’s a 10th grader as well. The struggle is real.

I was excited to see that you posted a video. We just found a love for The Chronicles of Narnia through one of the lessons in Gather Round. I find that so interesting! I have an Elementary student. I am looking at The Kind Kingdom. We will still pick back up with Gather Round though. I am excited to see your updates as they come.

Sounds like you all are all off to a good start. I love how you let him lead and tell you what he is feeling and you roll with it. I use Learn math Fast for my daughter cuz of you introducing it to us. It is working really well!! We did something different this year and we have/had 7 or so units going on at the same time, but only one a day. I’m saying this cuz on Fridays we do campfires US geography unit, which we absolutely love!! We are almost done with the first unit and will start the next one in this geography series after we finish. But maybe it could work if you pick one day to do that unit. I know you said you want to start it. It is so so good, like you said. Have a blessed day. Praising God your mom is doing well.

That's a super cool folder! Love that!

We've had a lot of attitude with our year starting - 9th & 11th graders - had a "Come to Jesus" meeting, but I anticipate needing more. LOL

Great resource for homeschooling. Thanks for making the video.

How long did a unit use to take you to finish before high school? Do you do one lesson a day in the 20 days? We have been getting a lesson a day done but it seems like every one is done after the lesson. I was hoping to do a lot of extra things but it just seems crunched. It may be because it is our first unit.

Did the election unit come out from gather round. And love your videos mama

Great idea!

This was great to hear! It made me feel better about how we are doing homeschool. Similar to yours.

If you plan on buying it, can you do a video on the new Christmas unit from Campfire Curriculums?

When you did gather round did you stick with one unit at a time or alternate like two days science two days history? When did you start full history units? Did you do them early on or did you start them at a t a certain age or grade level?

I am considering TGTB LA for my daughter for 10th grade next year. How do you like it so far? I just ordered their Level 5 over the weekend for my 10 year old. We were using MasterBooks, but sadly she just did not care for it at all. I will miss the strong Bible component, but hopeful it will be a better fit for her.

Thanks so much for this thorough flip through! 🤗

I have a question… not sure if you mentioned it… I watched the video while washing dishes and attending a little one 😣 will this history also teach biblical history… like will it say what was happening biblically during this time period? Is all the history like this for this curriculum company? I hope so 🙏🏼

Best Video for me, i wish to find this earlier. Thank you so much , embrace it! never let him feel bad

I don't think she is a Christian! She says that Columbus only wanted the Indians to be slaves and as a source of Gold. Her opinions without any notations of where whe got that. Also uses the word "indigenous" for Indians. And that word is leftist!

I’ve never gotten to see a full high school level student workbook. Is that what you guys are using? And how does it compare to the middle school? It looks like a lot of research!!
