Homeschool Curriculum 24-25 |

Sharing all our curriculum selections for the next "school year". Although we've started to take on more of a year-round approach, we still have to stick to certain "school year" standards now that we are a part of a charter school.

HOMESCHOOL LANGUAGES has an amazing curriculum! We are on week 9 and they have made huge progress compared to a different program I used for over a year.

[@S_1490]

Love your videos! So happy to see you’re back ☺️ thank you for sharing the American Girl Unit studies. I can’t wait to check it out. I wish I was near you so I could join your co-op lol it’s such a cute idea! As for questions, I’m curious how you balance life as a homeschool mom? More specifically time to workout and if you ever have time away for yourself? Besides homeschool burnout, being a stay at home mom in general is a lot

[@tayshabib]

Would love to dive into that! It’s been a journey trying to find that balance but it’s definitely something my husband and I have always understood to be a non negotiable. He helps push me when I’m in my funks and need to get out and have a break, but being stubborn (and introverted 😅) and just wanting to stay home. Can add to my list of upcoming videos to do more of a day in the life/sit down convo to share what we do to balance things 😊

[@melinathornton]

45 states have charter schools. Ca gives you funds when you are on a charter school. They are considered public schools and come with various stipulations.

[@tayshabib]

Good to know! I had a handful of people on TT asking because they’d never heard of charter schools in their state. So that’s interesting…I wonder if it’s just not talked about in other states or just not emphasized because funds aren’t included? 🤔

[@melinathornton]

@@tayshabib That is a good question. 🤔 I didn’t know much about them when I homeschooled my kids. We did the PSA. We do option #3 (California) and teach him under my daughter’s credential. I’m glad there’s so many options these days.

[@tayshabib]

@@melinathornton we started with a PSA but had enough friends who went with charters for the funds, they influenced us haha. Financially it just made sense for us with four kids and the cost of any sports or classes is INSANE now 😅

[@karifacer]

Definitely look into Kate Snow’s Preschool Math at Home for TK. Your charter school funds will cover the book too. We used it alongside the gentle and classical preschool curriculum and loved it! They are simple activities that build upon each other and are really well thought out. You might also like the gentle and classical preschool…they focus on letters, numbers, manners, hygiene, bible, theology, art and music, but do it in a very simple way! And for Spanish I would look into “Homeschool Languages” I haven’t used it, but it looks pretty cool and hands on for kids. Looks like a fun year though!

[@tayshabib]

Someone else in the comments suggested Homeschool Languages as well! Definitely will look into those! Now that you mention it I think I bought the gentle and classical preschool curriculum years ago so I’ll try to pull that back out and try that out with my little. Thank you for the recs! 🥰

[@schultesweeties]

Love curriculum picks! We are in a public virtual school in our state and I think it is similar to California charter schools. We’ve been in it for 4 years now. Love it! I’m a new subscriber. I also have a homeschool youtube channel.

[@tayshabib]

Ohh what state are you in? I’ve never heard of anyone having something similar to charters! That sounds amazing!

[@schultesweeties]

@@tayshabib Indiana. I don’t know how similar it is, but we are able to get educational items or classes with the funding, we are required to do state testing and turn in work every few weeks.

[@kasitouvell3895]

Look into Busy Toddler curriculum. She is a teacher that put it together for her children when she first started homeschooling. It's super hands on!

[@tayshabib]

Thank you so much for the recommendation!! I’ll look into it ☺️

[@brookeyingst4611]

Would you be willing to share your calendar for what weeks you picked to take off? Maybe over on Instagram to help give a visual?

[@tayshabib]

Ya I can share something without giving away too much info. Summer schedule is a little different from the “school year” but it’s just about consistent with three weeks on, one week off. I’ll put together something to give a little more details this week though!

[@lindsaychupp9936]

What about Outschool for Spanish? Would that be a good fit?

[@tayshabib]

@@lindsaychupp9936 I need to look into it because I haven’t heard about it until now!

[@michellefowler4312]

I may have overlooked it, do you have a link for the reading log cards? They are too cute

[@tayshabib]

You didn’t miss it. I completely forgot to include those! My bad 😅 I’ll update them in the description in just a bit 🫶🏼

[@tayshabib]

Updated and linked them under the More Resources section in the description! Sorry for the delay. I tried doing it on my phone a few days ago and never went back to make sure it saved.

[@lynn-ow6zw]

Have u thought about having your kids learn Spanish through Babble its a great resource!

[@tayshabib]

Ok now that you mention it, Babble sounds familiar! I’ll definitely look into it. Thank you for the recommendation! 😊

[@lynn-ow6zw]

@@tayshabib Your Welcome!

[@GhostBunny800]

We have charter schools in Texas I believe every state has them

[@tayshabib]

Do you receive funds in TX? I’ve had some friends on TT ask about them because they’ve never heard of charters or funding available in their states.

[@GhostBunny800]

@@tayshabib I don’t work with the charter schools but they might I’ll look into it but I know we don’t have a lot of the limitations in our state on homeschooling that others do

[@GhostBunny800]

We have a lot of programs in Texas that will send you free curriculum for the main subjects

[@tayshabib]

@@GhostBunny800 That sounds like a great resource especially for those who aren’t familiar with curriculum options and looking for somewhere to start!

[@GhostBunny800]

@@tayshabib yeah Texas sees homeschooling as more of a right than a luxury so it’s nice 😊 and helpful when ya broke 🤣 enjoyed ur videos I binge them when I’m printing 🤪

[@danahall1282]

Is treehouse schoolhouse christian

[@tayshabib]

The business itself was started by a Christian mama, but I would consider the Treehouse Nature Studies secular.

[@benkriegh4256]

Treehouse schoolhouse does offer a wonderful bible study for kids

[@tayshabib]

@@benkriegh4256 Yes! Completely agree and I mention the Rooted curriculum in the video. Most people tend to ask about the religion part because they are looking for secular curriculum.
