6TH GRADE HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM PICKS // 2023-2024 // WHAT WE LOVE //

Hi Friends! Welcome back.
In this video I am sharing our curriculum picks for my sons sixth grade year. We have some repeats that we have used the past two years, because we love the curriculum. We also have some new things we are using because we are graduating ourselves from the Foundations program with Classical Conversations, and I decided it was time to take more in depth looks into subjects, instead of just doing the memory.
Don't get me wrong, we love CC and we loved the memory work, I just felt it was time for him to move forward and dive deeper in those areas.
He is also interested in playing school sports, so more detailed subjects, detailed record keeping, and grading are going to be happening as well.
I hope you find this video, helpful, insightful, and fun!
Just remember homeschooling is an individualized journey, that is part of what makes it so special, so try not to feel pressured or like you need to do what others are doing or keep up with anyone else!
These types of videos are intended to help you discover curriculum options and get a little insight as well as different opinions on these different curriculums; not to tell you this is the best thing for you, or the only curriculum you should use!
Wishing you the best and many blessings this school year and everyday!
Happy homeschooling!
Love + Light,
Soulshine Mama,
Crystal Marie

Can you link where you got the printouts for the 50 states you posted?? I’d love to add that to our 6th grade year! Thanks for a great video

New sub here. Those look like some fantastic choices. I’m seeing several materials we have used or are using as well. We are usually a cc family too. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and happy to be able to connect here 😊

[@SoulshineMamaOfficial]

Thanks for the sub! Im glad you found me. 😊 Thank you for reaching out and sharing. We have been enjoying our repeat curriculum choices as well as our new ones; that’s neat that we are using a lot of the same! I will have to visit your channel. Thanks again for being here 💛

[@TheChan7]

@@SoulshineMamaOfficial that’s cool that y’all found what y’all like to do on repeat. And thank you so so much also!

New subscriber, my oldest loves wordsearches as did I but my younger two hate them for some reason.

[@SoulshineMamaOfficial]

Hey there! Welcome! Word searches aren’t for everyone, just like anything else, we all have our things we like, and things we don’t like so much. Thankfully there are many different ways to enjoy learning! 💛

Where did you get your handwriting book?

[@SoulshineMamaOfficial]

Our cursive book is from classicalconversations.com We have last year’s cycle 2 book. I am attaching a link to this years cycle 3, American history book of the exact same type. The link should take you to the item in their bookstore. Let me know if you have any more questions! classicalconversationsbooks.com/products/fs098

Also, just wanted to add another handwriting option that we also love and may purchase again. It’s by TGATB. They have different levels and it has a little more instruction, not just tracing and copy work. Both incorporate some drawing as it helps with the fine motor skills. www.goodandbeautiful.com/pre-k-8-curriculum/handwriting/

Wow, has the Essentials been updated recently?

[@SoulshineMamaOfficial]

No. The 5th edition is the most recent. It was put out a couple years ago. The program is the same. The curriculum book was laid out a little different. Mainly just updating some things it appeared.

And where did you get your devos?

[@SoulshineMamaOfficial]

I will add links for you… the devotional (as I mentioned is old, but we still love it) and it can be found on Amazon. The Indescribable workbook I purchased from christianbook.com. 365 Trivia Twists Devotions: An Almanac of fun facts and spiritual truth for every day of the year a.co/d/3oMO0sm www.christianbook.com/indescribable-activity-stretching-building-crosswords-experiments/louie-giglio/9781400235889/pd/235888?product_redirect=1&search_term=Indescribable&Ntt=235888&item_code=&ps_exit=PRODUCT%7Clegacy&Ntk=keywords&event=ESRCP
