Grammar Galaxy actually has a specific high school level called Fast Grammar. If you call the number off the Grammar Galaxy website they are very helpful in answering any questions you may have. Hope this helps!

Would you for this just for a time period? Or would you do this for a whole school year? Or, is this an added in thing you do plus your other curriculum? Lol so many questions

Do you recommend doing a sheet per kid since they have different interests? Or would that be too much?

My high school student could benefit from Grammar (as could I). Would this be a good group study for my 16yr old down to my 11 yr old?

When do you start teaching grammar?

I definitely learn along my children, but they don't know what they don't know, so I make sure they're exposed to a lot of different subjects and topics and skills, and when they gravitate towards something, I make sure they have plenty of time for it without abandoning others.

I lean classical when I focus too much on external artificial standards and a desire to pay myself on the back. Then I catch myself and remember that's not an attitude I'm wanting to pass on. My favorite reference point is CM, but I am not a purist. So eclectic for sure.

Is it an editable document?

Is this the printed book or did you print it yourself? Just curious how the printed book is put together.

We use it as a supplement and my child loves these books. I was very fortunate to have 6 kids f these books gifted to me.

Thanks for your review! Very clear and to the point! ❤

Our daughter is soon to be 6 (September 20), we are from Colombia, but we live in Italy (moved here 4 months ago). So English is not our first language. I was wondering (and wanted to ask you) if it would be a good idea to start with this curriculum for her, even if it’s a bit “behind” for her age. Thank you in advance! Just found your channel and I’m loving your content! God bless you and your family ♥️

I just got this one 😻 it’s so pretty and makes you want to read it every day.

I just find it impressive that the book includes an entry on *every* country, though I'm curious what it defines as a country. Does it include segments on Palestine or Taiwan, for example. Regardless, this book seems to me like a servicable introduction for young people who are curious about the world. What it lacks in depth of information it clearly attempts to make up for in scope. A fair bit better than a simple index, but no substitute for proper research. Then again, given the audience it markets itself toward, it would appear that inciting inspiration to seek further knowledge was the main mission statement of the authors, rather than becoming just another textbook the teacher would dole out. 5/10

I love Windows on the World! ❤🌏

We are about a year late to the game, but we absolutely love this video! You've done a great job here handling a sensitive subject, and we definitely agree with you on points number 2 and 3! Well done!

Thanks for posting! Which edition do you have? I'd like the older one vs what I'm hearing about the updated editions.

This looks good! You always have such great resources to share!❤️

Wow! Super insightful.

This is our second year homeschooling but our FIRST year of doing it without a co-op. (So basically on our own-with God) We have 7 kids ranging from 4-16. I feel in over my head planning this next school year. (Yes, the one starting like NOW lol) Your videos have helped a lot! I just stumbled upon them after praying about finding some actual good advice. So, as far as the reverse scheduling, how do you go about it and get through everything you want to get through the year? Also, can we be best friends? Haha.

Thank you for being the first video I was able to find that GOT TO THE POINT! Super appreciate your video!

I love your energy and miss your IKEA spice rack shelves. 😊

Your thoughts are very much in line with mine. I purchased BibiloPlan Ancients (Remember the Days and Lesson Plans Plus) last year thinking we would use it this year. My youngest is in 4th grade, and I would only be using it with him. So, the family-style aspect of the curriculum doesn't really matter to me. My high schoolers use Notgrass, and we love it and I don't plan to change that. I haven't loved the samples I've looked at for the elementary levels of Notgrass, though. Before purchasing BiblioPlan, I was debating between it and Mystery of History. I read aloud sample lessons from both, and my son and I both liked BiblioPlan better. Once I got the curriculum in my hands, though, I found it overwhelming and decided to save it for next year instead (5th grade). I'm still mulling it over and trying to figure out how we would actually use it and what extras (maps, timeline, questions, crafts...) we would want to use. What the guide says are the essentials feels like TOO much to me, and the cost goes up very quickly when you start adding all the things. I can't even imagine having time to read an additional spine, so all of that information in the guide feels like overkill. I was excited about having all of the read-aloud suggestions, but I found that information to be confusing and overwhelming too. Just figuring out where to look in the guide and how to read ALL the different lists was a challenge. So... I still think I want to use BiblioPlan, but I really wish it was more open-and-go.

I have a question… is Generations a Jesuit company or are they pro Jesuit teachings? I see that they spotlight some church fathers that are more associated with Anglican or Catholics. What is their denomination?

No way! You are not annoying at all! You are my people! I have to not talk curriculum too! I love all of the different things!

I'm somewhat new to your channel and I have lived this video. I lived to get to know you. I love all that you do for your community and you so take the time to film for us on RUclips. I appreciate that!

I like the idea of the nature boxes you had on your wall. Could we get a more indepth video on them? How did you make them?

Have you ever heard of the book? Sir Circumference. Is also kind of reminds me of child craft encyclopedia. When I was a kid my parents had a child craft encyclopedia and one of it was mathematics and they would have like stories in it. Crafts related to math. Nice.

For those who want a non-Reformed Christian curriculum w the Bible woven throughout, try My Father's World (esp good for large families) or Masterbooks (cheap, good for the eclectic homeschooler). Generations pushes the Reformed interpretation of the Bible pretty hard from everything I've read.

This is so exciting! My kids aren't at this level yet, but we are using the lower levels from Generations and we're so happy with it!

By the way, talking about lessons 35, letter O...in their defense, you read a scripture passage and all the student needs to do is recognize the letter O and circle it. It has nothing to do with phonics 🫣😘

Yay! Thank you for this! I couldnt wait for a review. That was a wonderful sale they had! You are probably the first to review this! 🙏🏻💖

I am so looking forward to seeing the planner you're putting together! Also, you're the best to hang out with! I benefit so much from every conversation! (I just need to remember to bring my notebook and pen when we hang out!) 😂

Would it be confusing to do this as a family and still have my 11 yo read the Europe one? Or do you think that would be too much?

I'm eagerly waiting for my order to come in, so excited 🎉 I do like their approach to phonics, tried and true. Both of my little ones learned to read by 4, following Jady A. approach and my kindergartner is reading level 3 Bob books along with their workbooks. I feel its less confusing for them at this age and they feel so proud to be able to read🤗 I think I will start this kindergarten program with my 4 year old and do level 1 with my 5 year old 😊

To be fair, All About Reading teaches the short sounds first, and only later in Level 1 introduce the other sounds. But I see your point about the other sounds of O being shown in the example is confusing.

I totally agree with you!!! I much prefer an OG approach to reading! Just makes more sense to my brain!😉 Although a traditional approach does work well for some kids. I’ve just seen most benefit from a multi sensory OG approach in my home with my older special needs kids. And hopefully will see the same with my younger kids also. I had been given something free to try for reading but I am not liking it and neither is my child so I think we might be attempting All About Reading after all. Hoping I can use it without getting too overwhelmed by it. Some of those fluency pages look very lengthy for a young child!😳

I'm so glad I found this video. I'm adding to our curriculum. Ty!

Does the history seem a bit much for kindergarten? I’m considering using it for my upcoming kindergartner. Are the reading sections long? My daughter seems to have a hard time staying focused on her prek stuff.

That’s Adorable 🥰 ! your child we be a great pastor; he had an amazing mama❤

I got my kindergarten from generation today too!! I’m anxiously awaiting the math to come. My 5 yo was very interested and wanted to start right away! This is my first year homeschooling. I’ll have to check into all about reading now 😂

I had originally started teaching my son (almost 4) phonics for the alphabet and then I found you 😅 so I tried to start over and do it with the all about spelling method and he had suuuuch a hard time understanding the difference. What would you recommend doing going forward?

You and your videos provide such incredible value to us Christian homeschoolers here on RUclips... Being a strong Christian pillar in your community AND raising a family AND hosting a RETREAT! I've said it before but you are a light! Rest and God Bless Abby! Btw your nature boxes are awesomeeeee 🙏🏻💕

I am a Christian, and God knew what He was doing by not having me be a mom, even though I always thought I would be. I was also a RN for 35 years. God has used non-believers over the years for His purpose (or in OT times, those who didn't follow the law). If someone contributes to God's plan, their background isn't necessarily important. As far as gender issues, kids also need to know (at an age appropriate time) that some babies are born with chromosomal issues that make specific gender non-differentiated (literally called disorders of gender determination). I personally took care of several babies that didn't have clear gender specific genitalia- or had both sets of gonads. I find it interesting that people of any faith worry about science vs. religion (a term I don't like; I view spirituality as being much more intimate with Jesus than doctrine and keeping things so boxed up- everyone's relationship with Christ is different based on their interpretation of their surroundings- ie abuse, neglect, healthy home life, trauma at the hands of strangers, etc; I know I can read the same passages at different times, and get different things from them). All of science was created by God- as were the brains in scientists (Christian or not) that made discoveries. I find it sad that people who claim to love God can be so motivated "in the name of God" to cause division- which is never from God. We're to love others- no exclusionary clause.

Yes!! My desk is the same!!! Stacks on stacks of books. I love that you showed your classroom unedited. I love it! 👏👏👏

Love this, love your attitude towards homeschooling. What better way to pour into our littles than to spend every day with them? I always want to get allll the curriculums and books ugh. We’re trying some of generations this year see how it goes!!! New subscriber 👋

I knew that I wanted to focus on life science this coming school year, but I was battling on which science curriculum to use for my 5th and 7th grader, and you completely sold me on this one! Thank you so much for this video!!

I too love homeschooling!

I just ordered a curriculum to read for myself too lol!
