Absolutely! We both have enjoyed our couple years of a very "planned" Christmas school. But, it is funny- we are both doing major construction on our homes at the same time. So the "simple" plan for this year is so much better in our families!

It is such a fun book to read during the Christmas season! I hope our simple plans were an encouragement to you!

I’m so glad you found our channel! Our hope in doing this is that we will be an encouragement to someone along the way.

I get lots of menu ideas from watching other peoples grocery hauls! Gets me out of recipe ruts 😂

@@Home.School.andLife Yes, that too! I also love to see how differently people eat & the combos they make, even if it's nothing I'd eat. I'm totally a nosey-Nellie. LOL

Glad to know it wasn't just me! I had no idea. I went back and looked on the listing and couldn't find anything to show it was used. So bummed. But thankful I can send it back. :)

Thank you so much! Homeschooling teens is definitely a different season than the little years. We have had to do a lot of adjusting!

Thanks! It was my first time to film a DITL!

I just filmed one yesterday! Putting it up next week :) Thanks for the encouragement!

For each video lesson, there are PDF textbook pages that you can click on. We use those ALL THE TIME. You can also email them, and they will send it to you via email the entire PDF textbook. But, I found it easier to just click on the textbook pages for each lesson. Even on the questions, it will tell you the textbook lesson and give you the pages. You just click "textbook pages". Let me know if you find it!

Hi! Thanks for commenting! Using it has been a very good "staple" in our day to just come together. It is not as "deep" as the Bible studies we have done in the past as a family. But, it is tying us together and giving an EXCELLENT overview of the New Testament. I am really enjoying it! The timeline section and historical figure sections are our favorite.

Thanks for being here!!

It’s nice to know we aren’t alone and there are people still continuing to get creative to make things work for their family!

I was unable to find the exact maps online. They only say K12 so they must have been from our states online public school program. Here are some I found on Amazon that are similar in size. a.co/d/7LhQToL

Thanks so much!!

We will get that put together and send it over!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching and always being so encouraging!!!

I am thinking of using Sonlight for our next year of high school history. I love teaching it through reading so much better!

@@Home.School.andLife I do as well!

That’s a great idea! I will!

Love! My oldest is also in 9th grade and has goals of playing collegiate athletics. I’m happy to go into more detail on how we did our schedule and why I chose the options and share which one we settled on and why. It was definitely good for us to try them all out to see what worked best this year with the workload and schedule.

That sounds perfect! I’m going to do the “Faithpedia” from Not Consumed along with their bible studies. I will incorporate all the “fun things” and extras in that time. One year I did a book about weird inventions during our Book Basket time and the kids liked that.

Awesome! Thank you!

Me too!!

I don’t have a complete list yet. I’m going to be assigning some biographies and novels that go along with our history. I should make a list now though!

My kids always start with The Boxcar Children series, Magic Treehouse, or Imagination Station series.

I personally think Saxon is a great curriculum! My littles enjoy the colorful aspect of Horizon, but once they get to the middle grades they want something simple and straightforward. It also saves us a lot of money on curriculum because we reuse the textbooks from 5/4 up and the kids do all their work in a math notebook. We had planned to use it through high school, but we are now using Shorman.

You bet!

Yes, our state allows homeschoolers to be partially enrolled at the local public school. You can participate in academic classes, electives, or athletics. We have only participated in athletics so far. We have friends who have done band, choir, theatre, art, and high school math. Not all states have laws that allow this, so I would check with your local school district.

@@Home.School.andLife Thank you for the info. I will check with our school district for sure. Hope ya'll have a fun year!!

No, we do not use an online program. My high schoolers do take a few online classes, but my younger crew only use the computer/tablet for typing and educational games/apps occasionally. In our state the only requirement is to turn in a letter of intent to homeschool to our local school district. All states have different requirements and you can find out what they are on the HSLDA website.

@@Home.School.andLife ok thank you!!

I'm jealous! Enjoy your Sonlight years! So many cozy days reading together with rich discussion!

For this particular child-- I have used Abeka, Masterbooks, and now The Good and The Beautiful. We used Masterbooks the past two years and before that it was all Abeka.

Here is a link to a spelling curriculum video Amanda shared last year. She shares several curriculums that they have used including IEW’s Phonetic Zoo Homeschool Spelling Curriculum ruclips.net/video/vE21118iIE4/видео.html

Have you used Saxon from k on?

No, we use Horizon math K-2 and then switch to Saxon 5/4. My kids enjoy something a little more colorful in the early grades and Horizon is a solid curriculum.

Yes, Denison is definitely on my radar if our current math journey doesn’t work out!

I second Denison times a million! Thanks for sharing 😊

You are so welcome! I hope it was helpful

Thank you! ❤

Thank you! We love a good booklist.

Thank you 😊 We love a good read-aloud!

Aww! Love that you found us! I remember the years with 5 little ones. ❤️ We hope you find lots of encouragement here!

I just went to check them out! Thank you for sharing!

I couldn’t find them in my google docs- but if you want to use it, I’m happy to remake it for you and post it. It won’t take long at all! Just let me know ❤️

Thank you for the kind words! We really enjoyed using it during their elementary years! :) Win/Win for kids and mom!

You're Welcome! I hope it works for you! My kids loved it! (and I loved them being good ;) )

Hi! We purchased ours at My Mystery Party . Com
