Thank you, this was super helpful, especially that you don't have to do all the worksheets (my son hates worksheets). Helps me get a better feel for this curriculum, because it's a pretty big investment.
Great video! This was so helpful. Just want to let you know that your youtube setting has what I assume is your address listed right above the video title...I assume you don't want to post that for everyone.
Thank you for breaking this curriculum down. Would this work if I just wanted to use the social studies portion? We already have a science curriculum that we really like.
We are this year only for geography. So I went through the levels and just grabbed the geography units for each continent to use for social studies. Honestly, I really don't love it. Its boring and worksheet heavy. I'd never use the entire curriculum. For a unit study here and then its fine. I definitely don't like the language arts portion or the science. For a language arts unit study I'd recommend brave writer. The science kits are terrible, the products it comes with are junk and the experiments hardly work. Its just a lot of money for a mediocre curriculum at best.
Thank you for your review. Did you feel that you needed to suppliment for math? About how long did it usually take to go through one unit? Would you suggest this for families with two age group of children?
I didn't use MBTP for math, we had another math curriculum. It took about 2-4 weeks per unit. I think MBTP could work well for families with 2 age groups. It can be fairly teacher intensive in the younger years but as kids get older it becomes more independent.
@@diaryofahomeschoolmama9191 Thank you. As for work during the day, how much time would it take? I have two 8 yr old, a 5 y old, and a 5 month old (who doesnt nap). I dont want to set myself up for failure. I wanted to see how much time it would take with each age group to see if its doable. I really love what I have seen from you and other mamas. Im just wondering if this could be for us, or maybe wait till next year when my little one is older. Thank you for any and all your suggestions and opinions
@@vanessatapuala4003 its hard for me to say honestly, I have only used a few of the units from the 7-9 package. Daily it took us about 2 ish hours, but we never did every single thing. Everyday is different with MBTP, some days have cooking or bigger projects (which you don't have to do if you don't want to, everything is optional).
You mentioned you still did TGTB, will you continue to do TGTB and MBTP? We're currently doing TGTB and I really like it. Would MBTP replace TGTB? or would you recommend staying with both?
Is this an open and go curriculum or is there a lot of prep involved? Can students work independently while using this curriculum? And one more question... how long are you spending each day? Thanks!! 😀
Its pretty open and go, especially the science because it comes with pretty much everything you need for experiments packed and labeled all nice with lesson numbers on them. I suggest reading each week's lessons like Sunday before school in case you may need a poster board or something random you may not have on hand but other than that its fairly easy to follow.
And thank you for this review. I felt same as you that their website isn't clear but something keeps drawing me to it, so this helps a lot.

Extremely helpful. Really grateful you took the time to do this

Hello you were so informative. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very very helpful thank you
Super helpful thanks so much
We're wanting to try it but only for social studies & science. What are your thoughts on those subjects? Mine are 2nd & 3rd graders.
Have a popcorn and lemonade stand!

It would work fine to do that.
Are you still using this curriculum? Why or why not? Thanks

I wouldn't recommend doing both, that would be too much in my opinion
Thank you for the review. Are you considering the Math units? I want to pick this up but am on the fence with their Math units.
I looked at the math but we have finally found a math that we love so no.
@@diaryofahomeschoolmama9191 which math?
@@user-vg8ez9cu6u teaching textbooks
@@diaryofahomeschoolmama9191 thank you 😊
We use MBTP with Saxon Math

I am using the 6-8 curriculum with my 2nd grade daughter and it's pretty much open and go. We plan to do the 7-9 next year.
Its pretty open and go, especially the science because it comes with pretty much everything you need for experiments packed and labeled all nice with lesson numbers on them. I suggest reading each week's lessons like Sunday before school in case you may need a poster board or something random you may not have on hand but other than that its fairly easy to follow.
Why is there an age restriction for this video?
Because its about homeschooling curriculum which is meant for parents not children
So that people can still comment.
