For us it was reading a chapter book per month. Last year was my first, I had a 5, 3 & 2 year old teaching my oldest daughter kindergarten. I had this idea we’d all cuddle up, do a 20 minute read aloud every day and just love it. But between the morning basket, Bible read aloud and science, my son and youngest daughter were not having any of it. My oldest loved it, we managed to do 3 chapter books but that was it. This coming year I am setting no expectations!
For us we started with ACE curriculum. My youngest hated it because she knew all the info, it has helped her as a refresher. This is when we started TGTB and we love it including her
I also have a TGATB science unit all prepped and not used....but there were specific life and health circumstances that got in the way of all the school for about 6 months. So I'm hoping to do it in the coming year.
Glad that Teaching Textbooks 4.0 is working better for you guys as far as internet and all that. I really liked your point about "don't try to stay loyal to one curriculum company." I have always felt that I'm not a curriculum loyalist--I'm all about using what works and what works well for the individual family and individual kid.
Yes, I agree! Just like kids have different learning styles, moms have different teaching styles and that's ok! We are blessed to be able to switch curriculum when needed as homeschoolers!
I love watching year end review videos! I feel like they are way more helpful than curriculum videos !!! Even though curriculum videos are just so much fun lol! 😂
So many things were planned that didn't happen. But, things not originally planned became some of our favorites. Love the flexibility of being able to change when needed. Happy to hear that MB God's Design for Life was a win with you as well. We used it and really enjoyed it.
You are doing such a wonderful job, mama!!!!! Congratulations on completing year 2!!! I have loved watching your journey unfold and mama, you are BLOOMING! 🌻💗🤗
Hi! I'm a new follower! So excited to be here! We did the same program for science. We loved it for my kindergartener and 3rd grader. When things got a little confusing, we were able to understand it a bit better using my younger son's book. Looking forward to checking out the spelling and grammer books!
We loved Notgrass Star Spangled Story, it was the first subject we finished. We bounced around with a few other things and change it up when it's not working also. No point in fighting over certain things, just try something new and make school more enjoyable :)
We just finished our first year homeschooling and I hate when something doesn't work out. It's my type A personality lol. I also purchased but did not use TGTB level 2 math- I wanted to love it but was not thrilled after doing a year with Saxon. We tried TGTB geology for science and I dropped it after 10 lessons, I felt it was too dry and above my youngest daughters comprehension level. I wanted to love it and I think I will circle back when she is a bit older. This coming year after two science fails we are just going to use the Julia Rothman books with the notebooks and then we can just get lots of living books to explore various topics. At 2nd and 4th grade I think this is perfect. My rising 4th grader struggles with math too- she just puts up a wall and gets mad and says she just can't do it. It is tough for sure- we got thru 127 lessons of Saxon 3 before she really started struggling with division with remainders. We are using musical multiplication and a free game online- Prodigy (i put her in 3rd for review) and hope to finish up the last 15 lessons in Saxon 3 before our new school year starts in August.
I will be adding Evan Moor spelling to our next year.. You, pennies and salt and momma on the move have convinced me! Haha 😄 I placed my order a couple of weeks ago and excited to add this to our homeschool 🙌
good for you with trying lots and figuring it out. I've been homeschooling my 8 year old since the begining and we still switch things up! look forward to more videos!!
I absolutely loved this video!!!! I too am a complete squirrel when it comes to curriculum. We are using much of the same things, I am adding in Evan Moor and fix it grammar now that I have seen your review. Thanks so much!!!!!
My didn't work group is similar to yours. We also didn't like TGTB math, science, or history. Science may be better when my kids are older. We switched to MB from TGTB for math and science. We also tried My Story from them and didn't like it a lot. It was okay. We are doing LA with TGTB, science and math with MB (might try TGTB too), Notgrass for history, and Abeka for Art next school year. I think I might have figured out our sweet spot. We will see.
Just finished our second year too. Going to try the Good and the Beautiful next year for the first time with my then 9 year old twins. We really failed at doing anything with spelling/grammar this year. They are both avid readers but definitely missing some basics/foundational stuff. Hoping to find a better history curriculum also. We learn as we go!
We tired the science units from TGATB too. I loved it with my middle schooler but my next age is 7 and that was a big difference. The same with history. I felt like it was too much for her and my 6 yr old.
We take one day a week and dedicate it to TGTB unit studies. Then I change the unit studies quarterly. That's how we made it work for us ☺ We really enjoyed doing it that way! We ended up going all out for TGTB this fall except for history. Love TGTB that much 🤣
I love traditional spelling. We used Evan Moor one year and now we use Spectrum. Very similar. I've always wondered about Notgrass history. Nice to hear what you think. Bummer about TGATB science. I'm hoping to try a couple next year with my 5th grader.
I’m adding Evan Moor spelling for my child that just needs extra practice with spelling. I’ve heard so many say so many good things about this and I love that my child can do it mostly independently. Enjoyed this video so much!!!
We do a phonics approach to spelling. We’ve yet to try masterbooks. We love hands on math. We love using supplemental curriculum for math. We find we do gather round slowly and relle go into it. I find TGTB science and loved it but we’ve also used gather round for science. I feel I didn’t teach spelling in THTB the best way. We haven’t yet tried a art curriculum as I come up wiv ideas for art. We loved the human body gather round unit. I’m excited for TGTB math and we are thinking of trying it next year. I teach math one to one wiv my twins as they are on the same level but are finding they need extra help wiv different math concept. But my kids do it independently wiv me next to them ready to guide them thru!!!
We’ve done such a mix of curriculum and companies and I enjoy the piecing together. We’ve done multiple TGATB science and they are wonderful but so in depth and sometimes just too much. Interested in going a different direction- although MB didn’t work well for us last year
With TGTB science just use it as a starting place and add picture books, coloring pages and other activities. When your children are older go back and do the unit again, more in depth.
The Human Body didn't work for us either, it was a bit too much for my 8 year old but I want to do it again in a couple years. TGTB math also didn't work too well for my 8 year old. It was a lot of extra and she got so frustrated that we couldn't just get to the lesson, but I'm hoping this new math for my kindergartener will be a better fit.
Do you use Structure & Style from IEW (and the parent training) or just Fix It? I’m also curious if you do anything else for writing or just what’s in TGTB? Thanks so much!
@oneblessedmess This is so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing, one question are you still using the science and history curriculums next year? I’d love a flip through of both!
New to us this year was Notgrass and Teaching Textbooks and super love both of them too!!! We are sticking with both of them. We briefly tried the Good and the Beautiful but, for us a Christian family I found it is produced by mormon’s and could not continue with it. The All About Spelling/Reading not a win for us here either.
The owner is a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints, (also Christians) but the writers are of many Christian denominations and doesn't have any latter day saints doctrine in it.
We will be starting our second year and I'm trying to decide if we are ready for history. I dreaded it as a kid 😅 We also need to figure out science. We love space and arthropods from the good and the beautiful, but my little lady already knew most of the facts before we started any of it. She just wants experiments. Lots of brainstorming going on over here.
We have loved Notgrass for my 2nd grader. It’s gentle, and slow, and really talks about minor things in history that I didn’t even know. And we only did one chapter a week -not a unit, so we are l really stretching it out.
I totally agree with Notgrass being gentle enough for a 2nd grader! I love the "living book" approach it takes to history, telling real stories about people - some of which I didn't even really know about!
Almost all ur loves are what we use as well. N one of them we r trying out this coming up year. We are going on our 6 th year and absolutely don’t be conformed to curriculum
Thanks for the reviews Christie. I'm curious, if you start a curriculum mid year would you have your child complete it into the summer or would you just stop doing when you decide to be done for the year or take a summer break and pick it back up when you start school again?
I like the idea of ditching curriculum if it’s not working but i really struggle with wasting it then. If it’s already 1/2 used but it’s not working then no one else Can use it. What do you do with stuff the partially used stuff that didn’t work?
I actually used it for awhile without the teacher's manual! I'd say if you are strong in grammar and sentence structure yourself, it serves mostly as a guide. It does get more complicated as it goes on, so it may be nice to have on hand regardless!
Gather Around didn't work for us at all. I tried doing two different units, my daughter didn't like it at all. I ordered TGTB birds unit and will start it as soon as it comes. I prefer unit studies for science.
We do Abeka video... but some days it feels so long and though I make it flexible it’s definitely not as flexible as piecing things together as you do. I am interested in trying TT new app- how long does it take you kids to do a lesson? Abeka takes forever (40 minute video plus homework).
Teaching textbook is from level 3 and up is that equivalent to 3rd grade math? Ik they have the placement test but what grade do you feel it’s equivalent to?
loved this video, you are such a wealth of encouragement and knowledge! I have SO many questions about history, would you consider doing a review on grassroots history as a stand alone video to really dive into the curriculum? My little guy is an old history buff of a man, inside a 6 year olds body, and history is the subject that weighs on me terribly.
a little bit "Squirrel" HAHA I need simple as well so TGTB science and history won't work for us. I am sticking with Masterbooks. Maybe once my toddler starts school and he's the only one I'm teaching I could try those other complicated curriculums but for now I need simple...2 toddlers makes for a busy mom.
I couldn’t do TGTB science or history. Too dry and boring to keep my attention so I couldn’t make my kids do it. We will be doing Evan moor this year for most of our subjects by using their online teachers file box. My boys want to do a Harry Potter theme so we will do spells, enchantments, incantations (all under language arts. Study magical creatures for an animals unit study. Herbology is plants and potions is cooking or chemistry. History of muggles. I’m really excited. Horizons will be our main math curriculum but everything else will be evan moor.
Your Harry Potter theme sounds amazing. What resources are you using for Herbology, where are you finding the info for potions. Wow this sounds so awesome!!!!!!
I had previously purchased science chunks that has a plant unit and a space unit. I will probably use those for herbology and astronomy. But I might supplement with units found on teacher file box (Evan moor). Plus tending to our plants in the yard.we already started reading book 1. I’m hoping to give them their letters when we read about Harry getting his and have them buy their books in “diagon alley” when Harry does too. I will have them make wands and I found graduation gowns as their robes. Then the night before school starts (if we can wait) I will sort them into their houses. Oh and each one will have a jar to fill with beads for house points. Thinking I will reward them from that weekly. If together they get x points they can have an ice cream party. Defense against the dark arts is like dueling. So maybe a Friday class of games. Or our pe class and I teach them to “duel” and show sportsmanship. I’ve also thought about making it our religion class. Not sure. So many options! And they are so excited to do school! 🤯

Neat to see what your doing. Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with Fix It Grammar. Loved it!
It is SO good!
These wrap up videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for being here! 🥰
We loved Notgrass history! It was a perfect elementary history course for our kids. Glad you guys had such a good year! 💕💕
Yes!!! It was amazing!
Evan Moore sounds awesome! I have been looking at it. Good to know you really liked it!
It really has been a blessing this year!
I like to mix and match our curriculum. I don’t stick to just one for everything. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Have a blessed weekend!
Agreed 100%!! Thank you!!
Love your videos. This is my second year homeschooling as well. I have changed stuff out both years. I am like you, if it don’t work change it.
Yes!! There's no reason to stick with something that just isn't working!

Super helpful. Potentially looking into homeschooling, so curriculum review is enlightening.
I am so glad this helped!!
TGTB is coming out with new math in August, it looks great and I'm going to try it.
All About Spelling you are supposed to start with level 1.
I now realize that!! LOL I probably didn't give it the chance it deserved!
We tired the science units from TGATB too. I loved it with my middle schooler but my next age is 7 and that was a big difference. The same with history. I felt like it was too much for her and my 6 yr old.

You might want to try Schoolhouse Teachers. It is a yearly subscription, but so worth it. We are using it for Art and other electives.

@oneblessedmess This is so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing, one question are you still using the science and history curriculums next year? I’d love a flip through of both!
We are going to use MFW next year (which has the same style science for Ecology), but I do have some flip throughs on my channel for both! 🤍
Would love to see how you used fix it grammer! Or a flip through
Absolutely!! I have a few day in the lives that feature it, but I can do a dedicated video here soon!
Love your channel , thank you for sharing.
What about “More than words” the Bible curriculum, did it work or didn’t work??
We still used it intermittently!! Not every morning like before ☺
New to us this year was Notgrass and Teaching Textbooks and super love both of them too!!! We are sticking with both of them.
We briefly tried the Good and the Beautiful but, for us a Christian family I found it is produced by mormon’s and could not continue with it. The All About Spelling/Reading not a win for us here either.
The owner is a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints, (also Christians) but the writers are of many Christian denominations and doesn't have any latter day saints doctrine in it.
If it helps, the curriculum itself is not Mormon! We have not come across anything pointing that way in our few years of using it ☺
We will be starting our second year and I'm trying to decide if we are ready for history. I dreaded it as a kid 😅

We are working through some of the things we didn't finish this summer! Otherwise, we'd just pick it back up ☺
I like the idea of ditching curriculum if it’s not working but i really struggle with wasting it then. If it’s already 1/2 used but it’s not working then no one else Can use it. What do you do with stuff the partially used stuff that didn’t work?
I need to sell the stuff I don't use! I just haven't gotten around to it yet! lol
I want to try Fix it Grammar, do you absolutely need the Teacher's Manual for it?
I actually used it for awhile without the teacher's manual! I'd say if you are strong in grammar and sentence structure yourself, it serves mostly as a guide. It does get more complicated as it goes on, so it may be nice to have on hand regardless!
Gather Around didn't work for us at all. I tried doing two different units, my daughter didn't like it at all.
I ordered TGTB birds unit and will start it as soon as it comes. I prefer unit studies for science.
I love the look of the Birds unit!!
@@OneBlessedMess the bird unit came yesterday and I have been looking through it. I really like it, I will have to see how my daughter does.
We do Abeka video... but some days it feels so long and though I make it flexible it’s definitely not as flexible as piecing things together as you do. I am interested in trying TT new app- how long does it take you kids to do a lesson? Abeka takes forever (40 minute video plus homework).
It takes about 20 to 30 minutes total
It does only take about 30 mins max for a lesson with TT! I have a video coming on Monday all about it! 🤍
Teaching textbook is from level 3 and up is that equivalent to 3rd grade math? Ik they have the placement test but what grade do you feel it’s equivalent to?
I feel like it is on grade level! So Math 3 = 3rd grade.
loved this video, you are such a wealth of encouragement and knowledge! I have SO many questions about history, would you consider doing a review on grassroots history as a stand alone video to really dive into the curriculum? My little guy is an old history buff of a man, inside a 6 year olds body, and history is the subject that weighs on me terribly.
Hey girl!! I actually do have a video about Notgrass on my channel! I have a flip-through video as well as a Do a Lesson With Us video! 🥰
a little bit "Squirrel" HAHA I need simple as well so TGTB science and history won't work for us. I am sticking with Masterbooks. Maybe once my toddler starts school and he's the only one I'm teaching I could try those other complicated curriculums but for now I need simple...2 toddlers makes for a busy mom.
I TOTALLY get that, Mama! Toddlers are a lot!! 😂
I couldn’t do TGTB science or history. Too dry and boring to keep my attention so I couldn’t make my kids do it. We will be doing Evan moor this year for most of our subjects by using their online teachers file box. My boys want to do a Harry Potter theme so we will do spells, enchantments, incantations (all under language arts. Study magical creatures for an animals unit study. Herbology is plants and potions is cooking or chemistry. History of muggles. I’m really excited. Horizons will be our main math curriculum but everything else will be evan moor.
That sounds so fun!!! Is it from The Waldock Way? Love her and her curriculum!!
I just saw hers. I had already started planning so we won’t be using it but it looks great.
Your Harry Potter theme sounds amazing. What resources are you using for Herbology, where are you finding the info for potions. Wow this sounds so awesome!!!!!!
I had previously purchased science chunks that has a plant unit and a space unit. I will probably use those for herbology and astronomy. But I might supplement with units found on teacher file box (Evan moor). Plus tending to our plants in the yard.we already started reading book 1. I’m hoping to give them their letters when we read about Harry getting his and have them buy their books in “diagon alley” when Harry does too. I will have them make wands and I found graduation gowns as their robes. Then the night before school starts (if we can wait) I will sort them into their houses. Oh and each one will have a jar to fill with beads for house points. Thinking I will reward them from that weekly. If together they get x points they can have an ice cream party. Defense against the dark arts is like dueling. So maybe a Friday class of games. Or our pe class and I teach them to “duel” and show sportsmanship. I’ve also thought about making it our religion class. Not sure. So many options! And they are so excited to do school! 🤯
We also do themed Halloween costumes as a family so I plan on all of this playing double duty.
We tired the science units from TGATB too. I loved it with my middle schooler but my next age is 7 and that was a big difference. The same with history. I felt like it was too much for her and my 6 yr old.
