5TH GRADE HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM CHOICES||2022-2023

[@andrielleland5528]

Would love to see a flip through of the Beautiful Feet Teachers Guide and lessons.

[@VoodooCrab]

I would love to see which titles you have in that big pile of history readers that will be in your morning basket. ♥

[@jennyswanson4488]

We used Beautiful Feet EAH for primary years this year and you are going to love it!! We will continue next year with BF Around the World with picture books 🥰

[@LifeWithAndiNicole]

I always look forward to these videos! Thank you so much for sharing your homeschool journey with us all. ❤️❤️❤️

[@KR-eg3fm]

Thanks for sharing Ashlee and thanks for the bundle code! I was thinking about what books I should read for my morning basket this year and you just made up my mind! I ordered your Christian book bundle. I have been wanting to try these books out anyways after hearing how much you and your kids love them and I am excited to read them to my children!

[@sarahcain3972]

We love BFs Early American History! We started it midway this year and absolutely love it!

[@mamatofive1]

5th grade already for your youngest? So bittersweet I'm sure. Loving these curriculum hauls...thank you for sharing, Ashlee! :)

[@megangarlock9674]

I’d definitely be interested in a review/flip through of Beautiful Feet Books! As always, love TGTB! This is the first year of Simply Good and Beautiful Math (level 3!) and we’re so excited for it!

[@BlueEyedSkinner]

Ashley could you do a video on Teaching Textbooks and cover what holes you noticed and if you would still recommend it? We were really looking forward to using it, but now I'm nervous.

[@MoreThingstoSay]

We used Teaching Textbooks and it was a good independent math program. My kid didn’t need much help BUT there’s not that much for them to practice. It moves a little quickly. My opinion is just to use it as a supplemental program, I would use another math program as well. But that’s just my opinion!

[@Desertmomof2]

My youngest is going to be in 6th grade. We are using several of the same things. He's using TGTB LA7, TGTB science units Chemistry, Energy, Water, & Paleontology. We also average one each quarter. I got him the Typing and creative writing along with Fix it Grammar! to do independently and my kids finished up the handwriting this year. We are still using TGTB History. We will use MUS pre-algebra. We don't have a formal Bible curriculum either. Looks very similar. Thanks for sharing.

[@jessicamoran8962]

I would love to see a schedule. I love all the things but always get lost in the times/the when. What is your flow and approximate time spent? Are you doing each subject daily or loops? I'm also interested in hearing how you stay disciplined to teach when it is time and how you manage times to do other things... workout, laundry, keep house, etc. I'm notorious for running downstairs for something and next thing I know I'm "just" doing the laundry.

[@catherinepeacock8301]

I’m with ya. I think figuring out a good schedule with multiple kiddos is one of the hardest parts.

[@jessicalantz4428]

My son is going in 5th grade and the best thing to happen to our homeschool has been The Good and The Beautiful math. It's been amazing for him! 5th grade will be our first year using Simply and he's so excited for the video component!

[@tracyat3wisemenhomeschool29]

We're doing 4 units for Science with TGATB, Space, Energy, Birds and Water in our World. We are using Maturation as a health study. We are also starting Year 1 History with TGATB, praying we like it. Also use their Lang Arts💙📚📚📚

[@gandm04]

I’ll have a 5th and 7th grader as well and I can’t handle it 😭 I appreciate all your video, even the high school ones, as they are kind of mentally preparing me for what is to come. I will definitely be adding the Masterbooks history course to our list for next year. Would love to see an update on how your kiddos liked that one!

[@GraceandGrit]

Will do! Next year 😂

[@principleandpromise3670]

Hi Ashley 👋 I love your video so much. I find you such an inspirational person! 2 questions for you.. 1. Where do YOU get your inspiration from? 2. What do your kids do in their spare time/when they are finished their work? :)

[@AY-iz8kn]

Thanks! I wish TGB would give us video lessons like Abeka and BJU press. I love TGTB.

[@GraceandGrit]

They do for math!

[@cadiewhitehead2087]

What age would you suggest starting typing 1?

[@jennyb.6847]

We love BFB history and next year I'll be using the intermediate with one of my children too! Fun!

[@halliestoltz2736]

Do you think your 5th grader will be prepared to go to Prealgebra with Shorman after TGTB Math 5? I hope that is not an intrusive question but thinking ahead. Thanks for all of your insight

[@jennicompton3451]

Hi there, I am just curious why you will not be using TGTB history? I am think of purchasing as to why I am asking. Thanks so much!

[@elenav2661]

This is NOT a sarcastic question- How on earth do you get all 4 of your kids to complete all that curriculum? I am excited to get more curriculum for my 3 kids but I feel overwhelmed!! How are you motivated and how do you motivate your children? Thanks!

[@FLMegan]

I tried this way and I have tried even more "school at home" ways prior- my kids were overwhelmed and I exhausted. I'm now doing a WAY more relaxed loop, done by lunch with a big break at 10. Still ❤️ tgtb lots. I think all kids n homes are different. Mine are not self motivated lol.

[@brookidy]

Where do you get your daily affirmations that the kids read? Would love to find those!!!

[@Hopelb]

What grade would you suggest to start using Wordly Wise? And do you buy the teacher's addition?

[@WonderfulCrow43638]

I’m excited to see how you incorporate beautiful feet. I LOVE It. But find the teacher guide to be not as user friendly as TGATB lol. It’s just not as open and go so I shy away from it and often just read the titles and pick a few questions to ask

[@GraceandGrit]

Interesting! I’ll definitely share what I think of it!

[@icanales]

Thank you for all your content. I had a question, I love the amount of work or study your kids do. My children are 4th and 6th grade. I work full time outside the home, do you honestly feel that this is doable. I am trying to do what is right by my kids. Thanks everyone

[@thrivewithjesus5216]

I went back to your video twice, hoping to not take up your time to comment back. I see Master books and BJU Spanish listed in your links. Is your youngest doing the apologetics course and BJU Spanish that you linked to? Thank you for this video, awesome recommendations as always.

[@GraceandGrit]

No those are highschool courses. She’s doing what’s shown in the video.

[@gracegreenwell2657]

After your kids use all 3 levels of TGTB typing, do they chicken peck still or type "right"? I'm curious of the benefits. I type fast but I chicken peck LOL

[@carinthiamontana7069]

I can’t believe Olivia is going into 5th grade! Time passes so quickly

[@GraceandGrit]

I know! My heart can’t take it

[@itsteagan3216]

you are inspiring!!!!!!

[@jenniferhans465]

Do you use Saxon math with shorman? We used Saxon this year on our own and I like what I see so far with the dive videos. Would be so much easier than me doing for all 3 of mine.

[@catherinepeacock8301]

I love Saxon. Nicole the Math Lady does really good video lessons as well and there’s online grading. Though I’m also using TGTB math for my younger daughter, and just wondering when I’d switch to Saxon for the older grades.

[@gatheredandgroundedhomeschool]

Are the overalls you are weather the comfy ones you and your friend posted? Where are they from?

[@GraceandGrit]

Yes free people! The best

[@Mariedavis347]

Besides tgatb what would you recommend for a second grader for history?

[@GraceandGrit]

Reading good historical fiction. I wouldn’t do a curriculum that young

[@spokenformomma]

How much did all of this, for 5th grade, cost in total?

[@GraceandGrit]

I don’t keep a tally. But if I had to say an estimate I’d probably say around $500. The history alone was $250
