We love TGATB! My kiddos did level 3 last year and we loved it. You wouldn’t have been disappointed but I know what that feels like when you know an updated one is coming!

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

It’s such an amazing curriculum company isn’t it. So so glad we found them as its had a huge impact in our homeschool for the good! 💛

So appreciate your videos ❤

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

That’s really encouraging thank you! 💛

We are just finishing up Level K Language arts and I can’t say how much I love it. The phonics is strong, structured and sequential.

[@ambersunlight9926]

Thank you for the video! Books look great 👍 Would you do a day in the life video or a daily routine video? Would love to see how you use and organize all your lovely resources to use in a day 😊

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Its definitely something I really want to do very soon 💛

[@FullofbeansYouTube]

Lovely. Left feeling really inspired. Have tried the free app content so far. But loving the books you have shown

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

I’m so glad to hear that! We love the apps too! So great 💛

[@TheChan7]

Looks like it’s going to be a great year ahead. We used to live in Europe and miss it so much. So wonderful to hear you speak. Just subscribed. I also have a channel with tons of homeschooling content. It would be fun to be friends and connect here. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

It’s been nothing but a blessing for us!

A UK account. Such a great change. Is there any good uk communties for homeschoolers you like?

[@natasharudkin7283]

Question about TGATB, the maths curriculum being American is it difficult to transfer over to British, coins measurements etc thank you

[@Domi-mf2db]

Hi could u say any good ways u used to teach child reading?

[@louisesleeman676]

Would love to see how you use the curriculum to deliver a lesson, particularly the language arts. I’ve looked at it so many times but always think it looks a little complicated!

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

This is high on my list of coming videos!

[@nikkibbander]

When my child was in kinder I made his curriculum myself. I used teachers pay teachers alot, but when my next child was ready for school I was exhausted from building curriculum. I knew having all my kids joining in lessons I needed something deep yet simple but well rounded! I saw this curriculum and bought level 1, pre kinder, pre school and kinder, for language arts. My life was changed! It is not complicated at all, the lessons are well rounded simple and my children are thriving and learning. I am learning too. It really is an amazing company. I thought the same thing at first, it looked complicated but its very simple and the children are learning so much! I can only speak on their language arts and science curriculum but they truly are open and go!

[@louisesleeman676]

@@nikkibbander thank you for this!

[@user-tc9lk5in8r]

Hello! I hve a couple of questions. Similar to others, I worry about some of the American spelling/money. I really like the look of this curriculum though and there doesn’t seem to be a UK equivalent. Also, as it’s faith based, is it very geared towards Christians?

[@ZunairaSajid-qh1xo]

Does this curriculum work well with the uk exams?

[@user-jb8in3ql9t]

Hi! Firstly thankyou for this videos. We are starting our home education journey next year. My daughter is 8 Son is 5. I wondered how you find the differences in spelling Uk-USA. I’m no worries but some people have questioned it. :-)

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hi! That’s so exciting to hear! I think I might do a full video on this as it’s one of the most asked questions about TGATB curriculum. 💛

[@user-jb8in3ql9t]

@@blossomschoolhouse6059 that would be amazing! I will defiantly watch it :-) thank you so much! :-)

[@jayandthejourney]

Hey! Thank you for another great video. I wanted to ask, is TGATB curriculum thorough enough do you think? I'm choosing new curriculum for 2 of my littles now and I'm so lost! God bless you

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hey you! Do you know what, I’ve known people to find it ‘too thorough’ 😂 it’s so jam packed with goodness I can’t even tell you. Most lessons are not only filled with everything needed for that subject but have extra enrichment added like poetry, art and geography 😍

[@jayandthejourney]

​@@blossomschoolhouse6059 Thank you lool! I like "too thorough" so I think I'll try it out. I'll let you know how it goes! As always thank you for your videos and help. I'm going to purchase your newest Etsy product also (I can't remember the name of it but the bible one!)

[@Vixxen___904]

Just wanted to chime in and say it's very thorough. My eldest is going into level 4. We use everything by TGTB!

[@MariaFernanda-ru7xe]

hello dear, I just found your channel. I would like to know if you have any videos or tips on how this process works in terms of the government, What are the first steps to start homeschooling with my children?

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hi there! Oh I’d love to help the best I can but I can only speak from the experience we’ve had of homeschooling from the beginning and not enrolling them in school ever. In that respect we just didn’t enrol them in any schools and a few months into the first year we received a letter asking why we hadn’t, with a phone number to call. We simply phoned and told them we have elected to homeschool and they said great we’ve put it down that you’re home educating and we’ve not heard from them since. I think if your children have attended a school previously or even nursery then it might be different. I’m so sorry I can’t say anymore than that as I’m not 100% sure. I hope you find some answers though!

[@Freshbxbxbxbx]

Hi! I have a 6 year - been homeschooling her with the curriculum recommended by the government from Structured Home Learning. I'm thinking to switch to TGATB for year 2 in September. Would you say that it suits the UK curriculum? I'm just a little nervous to take the plunge. Many thanks in advance! P.S: When I was looking to start homeschooling last year ( after taking her out of school), your videos gave me so much confidence. Thank you so much!

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hi. Oh it makes me so happy to know these videos were helpful in making your decision!!how’s your first year been? Yes it can definitely suit the U.K. curriculum- you just have to ignore the currency and some of the measurements but it’s not much. Whenever there’s American currency I just do the same sort of activity with our English learning coins and when there’s measurement we don’t use I pull out a cheap workbook for their age group on measurements. Other than that it’s perfectly suitable. Hope that helps! 💛

[@amalabdi5269]

Hi there, I just wanted to ask if i could only purchase level 2 Language art as I already have the reading booster card from this year? If yes how to do it as it comes as pack ?

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hi, yes you definitely can! If you scroll down under the course set addd to cart section you’ll see ‘buy individual items’ when you select a drop down of the individual items appears and you can add what you want/need. www.goodandbeautiful.com/products/level-1-language-arts-course-set/ www.goodandbeautiful.com/products/level-2-language-arts-course-set/

I love the Good and the Beautiful, my daughter gets excited to do maths because they have made it so fun, interactive and physical so she never gets bored ❤ that was an amazing box of goodness, i need to make an order lol x

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

That’s so true, I think it’s also so great for us to have fun teaching material too doesn’t it! I genuinely get excited to teach a lesson every day! 💛

[@umh2943]

Hi there. Thank u for ur amazing videos. I have a few questions please. I've been looking into starting TGATB for everything English. but I have no clue where to start. My sons aged 9 (will be in year 5) and youngest is 6 (will be in year 2). I'm lost as to which book to buy there seems to be so many books. Please help. Thank you so much for all your videos

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hey. So the best thing to do to figure out which level they need is to complete the level assessments. For example for your 9 year old you could have a little look at the assessments (available as a free download) and then carry out the one or two you think meet where he is at. Same thing for your 6 year old. I hope that helps? Here’s a link for the level assessments for language arts www.goodandbeautiful.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Language-Arts-Course-Level-Placement-Test-3.3.pdf

How much did it cost you to ship this all from america? Im scared tp even order one thing because idk how much the shipping and extra charges will cost me

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hey! So the shipping can get expensive but I think they are still working on that. It’s reduced by half over the last couple years but can still be expensive. The great thing is they have made so much of their curriculum available as pdf downloads so you have the option to print it yourself and can have it bound at a stationery store or you can hole punch and put in folders. If you order once a year and get everything at once you may feel you can justify the shipping cost. As far as extra charges I’m happy to report there are none! No custom fees or anything as it is all marked as educational material and is usually delivered in under a week from the time you place an order 🙌🏼 I hope that helps :)

[@kirsten3802]

Do any of these books talk about religion or God?

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Hi. TGATB is a faith based curriculum so does mention God and ‘Creator’ but it isn’t very often. 💛

[@brionyhall4250]

I love the look, style, visuals about TGATB, just wish I could find something similar that isn’t religious (nothing against, we’re just atheist so don’t want a lot of bible references). Genuine question for anyone who have used a lot of this brand - is there a lot of religious references in maths, science and English of these?

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

It’s so visually appealing isn’t it!? I can honestly say the religious aspects are very minimal and can mostly be manoeuvred around but that being said there is mention of God’s beautiful world when looking at a painting etc. hope that helps. You can actually see sample pages on their website if their curriculum if you want to see more 💛

Is a lot not wasted as its American? It s what's putting me off buying.

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

Not at all. We rarely come across the odd part of a lesson that might not be relevant due to it being American 🙌🏼

[@blossomschoolhouse6059]

I’m planning a video to explain this more and show examples which might help you deciding on whether or not it’s a good fit for you and your family 💛
