Seeing a lesson in-action is truly the most motivating / inspiring as a viewer, even if we are familiar with the curriculum. It’s not just the lesson, it’s the realness of the process and ideas gleaned. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
I just love that you share your school time! And I'm so so glad I'm not the only mom to have to remind my kids to speak in a "normal" voice!
I couldn’t agree more regarding your comments on the high school years. I was grieving the possible loss of family subjects. However, my high school son requested to keep doing a morning basket and history with us. #homeschoolingworks
Exactly!
I totally agree there is a pressure to split your high schoolers to learn on their own. I did this and I definitely regret it. Sadly it's not just pressure from the public school mentality, but also from many homeschool curriculum companies. My older 2 kids are in 9th and 10th grade and I'm trying to repair our family learning culture going forward. It's a fine balance between independence and family togetherness! Thank you for talking about this.
Agree! It doesn’t have to be!
As a homeschooling mom to children who are far from high school, I really appreciate that you post about your experiences and things you’ve learned about homeschooling high school. Your advice will save me a lot of time worrying & “reinventing” our homeschool in the future. You are so appreciated, I hope you know that!
What a great perspective!
I love the discussion. I love to hear what is being processed in my kids' minds. I love hearing them put what's being taught in their own words.
I’m not a homeschool mom but I enjoy watching your channel. It gives me ideas on how I can engage with my kids with books etc.
I appreciate you being here!
How often do you do a History lesson (I.e. how many times a week)? Do you rotate it with science lessons? We use TGATB for both History and Science but sometimes I have a hard to being consistent with scheduling and fitting it all in!
The audio recordings that come with these lessons have been so fun for my kids through the years, and for me!
I am so glad I found your channel! I am new to the homeschool world and was starting to feel overwhelmed. After binging on a few of your videos, I feel much more at peace and confident! I ordered the good and beautiful history 1 today. I think it will be a good fit for my 3rd and 5th grader. So excited to watch more of your videos ❤️
I started The Good and the Beautiful science units so that we could follow a similar format. It has been working so great! I love when you show these do a lesson with us!
I absolutely love seeing this video showing how homeschooling is actually being done. Thank you for sharing and I would love to see more of these 'demos'. I couldn't picture how you could homeschool many kids at the same time until I watched this :)
I got busy and had stop watching the other day and I’m so glad I came back to watch! I so agree about keep the family learning through the high school years. Thank you so much for talking about this!
I love teaching all my kids together for history and unit studies!! And yes, I feel like it’s hard to get the balance between independence and group studies with our older kids. I have a middle schooler and a couple in elementary. Thanks for sharing, Ash!
You really have me thinking! Loving this family style. New homeschool mom here, and trying to rethink what school should look like isn’t easy! Thanks for sharing!
Just want to say, I hope I look as great as you do when my girls are old enough to be in high school! 😀
I love that you are including your oldest in some of your family subjects ❤️
I could not imagine not doing family style and learning all together. Thank you for putting words to those feelings.
I agree with you. Our homeschool culture has changed so many times over the years. We have 8 kids, and our first four oldest ones are the exact ages of your four kids. When it comes time for us to do our group subjects, it is only possible when our littlest ones are napping. So we wait until 11-1pm to do group subjects and any quiet reading etc. This has saved so much frustration for us, as little ones need so much attention and can become pretty distracting!
Thank you for these words of encouragement. Yes, we need to keep our hearts tethered together and embrace the gift of homeschooling. 🥰
So glad you are doing this history lesson. Are you excited about the history changes that are coming? I have been considering buying volume 1, but not sure if I should wait for the updated version to be available.
Yes! We have been conditioned to think we have to learn things a certain way!!
This just makes so much sense. Like you said it’s about YOUR homeschool culture and why would you suddenly remove a child. The culture would change for everyone.
Plus this May be an unpopular opinion… But to me I think history shouldn’t be as Structured as we make it. If there is a history topic that any child wants to learn more about we can easily hand them a book to read on the subject. Isn’t that what us adults would do?
Sometimes life gets busy and I stray away, but I always end up back to your content, and binge hahaha thank you! 💕
Thanks for coming back!
Thank you so much for sharing your homeschooling wisdom with us. It truly is encouraging. ❤️
Sometimes I watch your videos and I'm like "this lady has it all figured out- she probably is a much better mother than me"-- but then I see the way you looked at your son sideways for his answer to the question on who he'd like to know more about from history and I remember you're a normal person. LOL
I appreciate that.
I’d love an update on how the school year and curriculum is working. Especially the oldest two with their online courses but everyone. Basically what’s working amazing, what’s ok, what’s not working great. It’s the time I start looking at things for next year :)
Love this! Thanks for sharing about teaching history with multiple ages.
I love this! But I either missed it, but it wasn’t addressed, and that is highschool credits. I don’t have a highschooler yet, but I’ve heard TGTB history is hard to use in highschool because of there being a lack in how to count credit. I’d love to hear more about that.
So each year covers a time period in a quarter. So after 4 years you have all 4 quarters to equal a whole credit.
Ancient civilizations
Us history
World history
Etc.
I absolutely love the good and the beautiful Hystory! We did year one last year and it was so fun. Year two has been slow going but so has everything else this year.
My son is in 6th grade and I'm already freaking out about HS. Thank you for the encouragement.
Love this!! Thanks for showing how easy this can come together with the different ages :) Definitely a hard concept to grasp
Just wanted to check in. I have six stair steps so basically two younger than you. My eldest is also 9th this year and I’ve had a lot of the same emotions and struggles. We’ve been using TGTB for almost 4 years now but this fall we went back to CLE bc I felt I had to handle high school that way. It didn’t last. We jumped back into TGTB and it felt like “home” when we did. You’re about a mo th ahead of me with history so it’s fun to see. However, we’re going to do the constitution after the first unit, since we were all excited about it. We’re also finishing Geology and starting Birds next month. I’ve had so much fun gathering some extras for that unit since I felt like planning more this time. Wishing you all well! ❤️
I’m also getting my health back on track since this summer so I’ve watched a few of your health themed videos as well. I’ve lost 40 pounds so far and am ready to be fit!
Love it. We started history year one and my kid loves it. He really like the keys of history game.
This! Just stocked up on years 2, 3, and 4! I wanted to get them before the new ones are released!! Love your high school content!
Thank you for your encouragement. Also, I found comfort in knowing I’m not the only one who has to say “stop doing that” when I’m trying to start homeschool. 😆 much love❤️
When you started history with your oldest did you stay on the same track with your oldest and just add your next student (and so on for future kids) in when they were ready? If so do you feel like your younger kids didn’t have any gaps beginning at a different part than what your oldest experienced??
I sure hope this made sense.
Loved seeing this! I purchased Year 1 history a few weeks ago for us to begin next school year and I am excited for it! 💜
I love how you explain this, Ashlee!
I hope it was helpful!❤️
Thanks for this video! We Love The Good and The Beautiful!
Thank you so much...you are a true gem♥️
thank you for this encouragement! next year I'll have 5th & 7th graders.
Thank you for another beautiful video!
One more question. If you were going to pick one at random to do, before the new one comes out, which year would you pick? Which one was your favorite? Thanks!
I’d start at year 1
Hahaha what were those moves right before Kate and Jack ?? 🤣🤣♥️
What age would you recommend starting history? I have a 6, 4 and 1.5 year old that I plan to homeschool together as they grow
I heard the new curriculum was going to be listed as k-8th instead of through the high school years. I would love to continue using this through high school in a couple years when we get there but does this mean they will no longer have workbooks with that level?
Love your videos and been a follower for almost a year. 😊 We are first year homeschoolers and I have a question 🙋🏼♀️ I have an 8th grader and a 2nd grader….I’d like to start teaching history/ science together instead of separating them. It’s a large age gap and I was wondering if you had any advice. Thank you for your homeschooling, fitness, and your faith!! ✝️
What year is good to start History? 3rd grade? Love your videos thank you!
Start with year 1
I had pulled my boys out of public school 3 years ago, I have an 8th grader and a 5th grader. I wanted to homeschool them through middle school for sure. My oldest son should be entering into high school this coming school year 2022-2023 I do not want to put them back into the public school system ever again. I love what I am doing and they are thriving. But, I am a little apprehensive of the high school years of homeschooling. I have been looking into it and doing all the research. And praying a lot. Any suggestions please? Thank you!
Be confident and stay focused on what’s truly important.
I looked at the science units and history units oddly because I was so not used to a family style type of learning/teaching . . . Now I'm excited for it. Do you have any suggestions as to what 'grade level' or age to start history at from TGATB?
Hi would you recommend master books or tgatb history for a second grader?
How do you do the history on your oldest’s high school transcript? We are switching to TGTB history next year and I’m trying to figure out how to put it for my oldest who will be in 10th next year.
Hi. When the new history comes out will the old version audios still be available?
Im not sure!
@@GraceandGrit Thank you
Random question! I just put in another good and beautiful book order for our home library and I was wondering if you think they’ll have a convention back this year? I hope so!!!!
I wish they would but I’m not thinking so!
This is off topic , but your lip color looks pretty.
I have years 1 & 2, and saw they are discontinuing the current history… do you know anything about that? Also, do u recommend buying year 3&4 or waiting on the new curriculum
Thanks for this! I'm trying to decide if we get it or wait till they come out with their new one 😬 it's so hard to know! Will you be using the new history when it comes out?
I plan to!
I'm having a hard time with history because my kids are 4th grade and kindergarten. 🥴 I dont think my son fully understands what he is hearing.
Could be! It is tough in the younger years. Maybe split the lessons into two and perhaps you read a head and restate to him in a more age appropriate way?
Have you spaced the years out since your daughter started year 1 in 4th grade and just now doing year 4 in 9th grade?
No, as I said at the beginning we used something different when we first started homeschooling. We’ve done each subsequent since I switched.
I noticed that they're discontinuing this Year 1-4 History. Do you know anything about what they're replacing it with? Will it still be family style?
They are revising! And yes it will still be family style!
What grade would you suggest to start using the good and the beautiful history?
Depends on the child!
I am assuming you use 1 year as a high school credit? I will have my first high schooler next school year and am considering doing the 4 years for her high school credits. Just wanted to make sure this was OK and she doesn't need anything else.
Yes because by the end of cycling through the 4 periods a year over 4 years you will have covered each time period for an entire year in length. Check your state laws!
I see that the history courses are being discontinued, would you recommend buying all 4 to have or wait til the new ones come out.
I read the comments and found the answer 🤦 thanks for being an encouraging voice in the homeschooling world!
Thank you for helping me learn so much about homeschool!
Would you recommend always starting with year one of Good and the Beautiful History? I was feeling year four would be a better year for us to start with because we have went over so many things already from year one thru three in other history curriculum.
I think you really can start where you’d like!
How long does a history lesson take? I was thinking of using TGATB for history, but heard it is whitewashed... your thoughts?
30-45 min generally speaking
White washed isn’t a term I identify with so I won’t be elaborating further. The curriculum shares about all faiths and people from all time periods. It touches on some of the more difficult topics and allows for parents to add in what they feel is needed or leave it there if they choose. The curriculum is a guide not a manual that must be followed. Hope that helps you.
Which history course set is this GB website? Thank you!!!
Year 4 set
Your son saying he would continue preaching The Gospel 😭
