Best Geography Curriculum for Homeschoolers || Review & Flip- Through || The Alveary

In this video I give you a look behind the paywall, at the Alveary’s Homeschool Geography Guide and Lesson Plans for Grade 1 and Grades 4-6. This normally requires membership to view, however I have received permission to share flip-throughs on my channel! Thanks for watching!

So helpful!! I would love to see all this! I just saw kindle togetherness say she was switching to Alveary in part to way they have geography. So my interest had been peaked

[@littlebitsofbliss]

Yes I’ve noticed that a lot of people have been switching to the Alveary! They do a great job! I’ll keep posting new Alveary reviews each week! 😊

[@amberhicks1807]

This is SO helpful! I recently discovered the Alveary. I realized that they are in the same place in history using many of the same resources next year that I have spent forever planning myself and their plans looks more thorough. I am likely going to jump in a year from now. I am going to keep watching this series. I really like what I see.

[@littlebitsofbliss]

Unfortunately they are in the ancient times cycle this coming year and we have done it twice already! So we are also doing our own thing as well! But I do love how they do history! So glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@amberwheeler2896]

This was very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[@littlebitsofbliss]

I’m so glad! Let me know if there are any other specific Alveary subjects you’d like to see! 😊

[@fatdogand]

Thank you! I’ve been hoping for videos just like these. Thinking of joining the alveary for my 1st grader/6.5year old. Looking forward to your Alveary series!

[@littlebitsofbliss]

So exciting! Let me know if their are any specific subjects you’d like to know more about, in case I’m not able to cover it all!

[@audwan4]

Im so happy you were able to share more about the lesson plans!! If i had seen more videos like this earlier, i would have gone w Alveary years ago. It looks so good! I have an important question. Do they ever let us know scope and sequence. I ask because you say this was for grade 4-6. It would be helpful to know what subjects come after this to make sure I cover everything I am planning to cover. Because my 3rd grader most likely woukdnt be ready for this next year but perhaps 5 or 6th grade he would be, but by then the subjects 4-6 are covering will be different, right??

[@littlebitsofbliss]

There isn’t really a scope and sequence when it comes to geography. The living books will follow the current history cycle and you will learn about the places and peoples in that time period. The mapwork will increase in challenge by grade (for example in grade 4 they might only have to memorize countries, but in grade 6-7 you might add the challenge of learning the capitals as well). The only way to see a specific scope and sequence would be to look at each guide and compare the differences. But they do speak to placement and combining students in the about section of each subject guide.

thanks for the video. I was interested in Alveary. but could not find enough enough. I purchased A Gentle Feast. I am worried about being able to getting the reading done before hand.

[@littlebitsofbliss]

A Gentle Feast is a great Charlotte Mason curriculum as well!

I am so glad they allowed you to make this video. This has made me want to purchase their membership. I hope they understand how much these informative videos help their sales. So my question is when do we buy the membership? I saw the opening is January-June but today is July 1? What does that mean😂?

[@littlebitsofbliss]

They release the book lists in January, but the lesson plans and guides just came out on June 1st. These are the book lists and guides for this upcoming year! So you can purchase the membership and gain access to everything now! They release the book lists early so that you have more time to plan and shop around. The sooner you buy, the longer you have access… but you will still have a full year’s access! It’s definitely not too late to sign up now!

@@littlebitsofbliss thank you!

[@CMI_Alveary]

Registration remains open all year. We would love for you to join us!

[@michellecalais2482]

Can we purchase just the Geography course? Or do we have to purchase the whole curriculum?

[@littlebitsofbliss]

You have to purchase an annual membership ($300) that gives you access you everything and you can pick and choose what you want to use and even choose books/guides from different grade levels.

It does sound wonderful! I have a question about narration. What age would your recommend for them to begin writing their own narrations? I am currently writing it for her and she draws a picture to go with it. She is six about to turn seven. Thank you! 🙏☺️

[@littlebitsofbliss]

Written narrations should generally start gradually in grade 4, or age 9-10, depending on their readiness and skill in handwriting and spelling abilities. Oral narration s and transcribing for them is all that is necessary in grades 1-3 😊

[@seasonsofwonder]

@@littlebitsofbliss Thank you. That's very helpful 💗💗

[@joycehampton4656]

@@littlebitsofbliss How much do you recommend they write for narration at age 9, fourth grade to begiin and is it for each book they read daily ? do you start with one and increase to daily? Just curious how you do it? I hope this makes sense.

[@littlebitsofbliss]

@@joycehampton4656 they should only write a single narration 3-4 times a week. I would also not do more than one written narration a day. You choose which books they should narrate. The rest is oral narration. 😊
