I do the same thing with my homeschooling children. It’s really up to you and what you want out of this experience. My children learn quick so once they have mastered the skill we move on. Your videos are amazing and inspiring.

Did you end up getting the Teacher's guide? Why? I am about to purchase Book 10 for my 10th grader, and I am debating whether or not I should buy them both. Some Teacher's guides are very helpful, and others simply are there to collect dust. I guess my question is, can the student complete the student book without the Teacher's guide, or do they work together to teach the lessons? I need to finish getting the curriculum for this upcoming year and I'm behind, so if you can let me know your response as soon as you can...I would appreciate it SO MUCH!!

Lord knows I needed to hear this today, I’m struggling with this right now. My 6th baby was born this year and she’s 3 months old now. The sleepless nights are rough and she’s growing fast it makes me sad. But I miss sleep too 😂 some days I feel like I’m done and some days I don’t.

My greetings amd love from Greece.❤🇬🇷I am 24 years old and i find u very gorgeous amd attractive. 😊I can say that women on decade of 40s is their best period. They still young and same time mature and attractive and many guys in my age we are attracted to women on their 40s.

This video was so helpful to me! I purchased this curriculum for my younger two. They were using BJU and it was way too much explaining 😂

Where is the answer key? Teacher/parent book?

These sounds like great choices! Thanks for sharing. I looked to see if you had an end of year review for 9th grade, but didn't see one. I was wondering how the books that are suggested in Notgrass for language arts turned out.

This was very helpful

So glad you are are safe 🌪️

Are you a single mom

New sub🙋‍♀️. We homeschooled year round some years but always took fridays off. It made our community activies easier

Beautiful Tortie girl :) She reminds me of mine I had some years ago. I <3 the torties :)

How did it turn out with this curriculum? Do you feel like the writing portion was thorough? Were the novel choices good? Great video!

Back in the late '80s when I was in 11th grade in my Econ class we were told by the teacher that he was going to skip the Constitution because we would get that next year in Government class. But when the next year came and I was sitting in my Government class The teacher said we're going to skip the Constitution because we got it last year in our Econ class. When the students spoke up including myself and said no, we didn't. We were told we were not going to do it, and then said just read it yourself. Years later after I was married I mentioned this story to my husband. My husband is 2 years older than me and went to a whole different School district as he lived in a different county. He had the same experience! When we discuss this with our children who are now grown and married... We come to find out they were told the same thing as well! My children are 7 years apart in age and went to two different schools and two different school districts.

Ohhh friend I needed this!! I don’t know how to skip and feel sooo guilty if I do! ❤I can’t wait to see what you say!

Sound of the children in the background was a joy to hear

Do you feel level 7 could be used with a separate writing curriculum? I looked at samples online and it looked very different from previous levels. We are using another writing curriculum through our co-op and I don’t want to overwhelm my reluctant writer. I am thinking of doing level 6 instead, so curious about your thoughts if you have had the chance to look through it at all.🙂

Some states require homeschool hours vs. number of lessons so if we need to fit in another 30 minutes of school that day, math drills are a good way to use that time and build those skills.

The curriculum spirals anyway. If you skip something, they'll see that concept next year. I wouldn't skip the same concept every year though. I agree with you about feeling ok with customizing homeschool for what works for you and your kids.

This is so interesting! And encouraging!

Would you use this alongside Wordlywise or would you say some of the material overlaps? Thanks for sharing!

We like Science Shepherd a lot. I Think the only thing is that he’s a little monotone. But other than that, it’s great. If you don’t mind me asking… What level of Math do you think you’ll have your son go up to?

It's nice to have common-sense education available. It is lost in society.

I’am CVT and worked in the field for 15 years before homeschooling. I worked along time in emergency and I loved it. After moving (military hubby) I became a practice manager and trained new techs. I did this in several states. I miss it but at same time I don’t miss it if that makes sense? Congrats on the new job 😊

Hi! I’m currently looking into Texas studies. Would you recommend it?

Maybe take original knobs off and spray paint them satin Nichol or gun metal gray would look so nice and updated as well looks amazing though

Would you still need to get the language book if you have this book?

I thought Texas is a happy place…if you own a property out of state, is there any higher tax or fee if you don’t live there?

When you say "teacher's guide" do you mean the answer book or is there actually a teacher's guide?

Aww! Love it! Congratulations ❤️🥳

Yes! We are in the same boat w TGTB

Excited for you! ❤

What did you end up adding on the curriculum? I have the book studies from my 8th grader for the fall but don't know what to supplement with

I'm doing notgrass history, literature paired with IEW outschool class for writing.

How have you liked this curriculum? I'm in the middle of choose a health curriculum for my twins going into 9th grade. I'm stuck between Abeka and Not Consumed's new health curriculum called Thrive.

Shormann Math Algebra 1 and Geometry is 1 credit one credit algebra and only 1/2 credit geometry. Algebra 2 /geometry is the same as above 1 credit Algebra 2 and the other half credit geometry.

Totally agree with this! ❤😊

We have been loving Notgrass for the past 2 years as well! Always love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing this one!❤

My non science lover and hater of video lessons son, highly recommends Science Shepherd. Science shepherd has quickly become his favorite curriculum. After every lesson he comes and gives me a recap. My 8th grader who did Physical Science this year, loved the short lessons and how the lessons followed the notes. Even when he missed an answered once he re-read the question he was able to get the correct answer. I loved that I didn't have to teach science! Also, Science Shepherd is currently running an up to 40% off sale until May 31.

Not Consumed has a Consumer Math course available now. It might be worth a look for an elective credit , since you have Math covered.

Look into Shormann a little more because I'm 99% sure you get 1/2 geometry credit with Algebra 1 and 1/2 geometry credit with Algebra 2. It's not a full geometry credit after one year of Algebra 1.

We’ve used science shepherd for introductory science, physical science, and will begin in august life science. Love it. Short videos packed full of information and images that work well for those visual learners. Plus the worksheets reiterate all that’s been taught. The review in the worksheets is the part that’s best, imo, as it keeps it all fresh in their minds.

The math curriculum you’re using, isn’t it just half of geometry integrated into algebra 1 and you have to use algebra 2 to get the second half of the geometry credit?

We are using Science Shepherd this year for 6th and it is going great. But we will take a break this coming year from it. I would love to hear how the Highschool goes for you😉

Whats is MPG rating

I highly recommend pre algebra for 7th grade with Denison Algebra. It's the best math curriculum, my son absolutely loved it! Look into it!

Shormann did not work for my children. Far too heavy for us as 2-3 hours is much longer than I would like my kiddos to spend on math. There was a lot to appreciate but wasn’t as great of a fit as I’d hoped.

We rotate science and history every other month. Last year we did one semester of history and the other semester of science, that worked as well but I felt like my kids didn't retain as much information that way. We also do the 3Rs daily and one elective on Mondays.

I also like the idea of combining you’re history and literature. Kind of how not grass is set up

Do you wish that he would have done Shormann for 7th and 8th and skipped math u see? I just feel like Shormann might be too difficult for my son but I'm hearing Dennison is for students who need extra help with math. My son is in the middle so thinking about using math u see. I just will need to prioritize grading which I haven't been good at for him these last two years with simply good and beautiful math.
