[@tanagee5682]

Science was always my fav. Now I get to teach it at our co-op!

[@fatimaoz9121]

Your idea of a homeschool photography e-course is genius!!!! Reading and art were always my school favorites.

[@gretagood9365]

History was my favorite school subject. Still do love it!

[@gracehoosier2509]

I’d love a homeschool photography coarse! I loved history in school. I still remember my favorite history teacher!

[@heathersapp3684]

I absolutely loved English and writing! I’m hoping to become a published author one day❤️ I’m so excited to read your book when it comes out!

[@melissaroush]

History was my favorite subject in school. But we just started the G&B space unit and I’m in love. We have had to do school on the weekends because they can’t wait!

[@stephaniemarler9601]

I'm super interested to see more about the loop with dissent! I have concerns about history curriculum being so white washed and I know you've expressed the same. I think the photography course geared towards homeschooling would be amazing, btw!!

[@denisejohnson4037]

core knowledge seems to do a good job you can look through the book if you have doubts

[@pjengland286]

Me too!

[@themofleycrew4367]

YES on the photography course!!! 😍

[@audreyofnuthatchhill]

Subscribed! Following! I was one of those kids who loved school so much, I repeatedly asked elementary teachers for extra work. Thankfully, this evolved into lots of extra writing projects. I wrote stories and plays, made a neighborhood newspaper, cajolled friends into joining a story-writing club, and filled countless pages with sequels to my favorite books and plenty of original ideas. Words poured out of me like water. I'm curious to see what insatiable passions develop in my young learners!

[@CourtneyJay8]

My favorite subject was art! Photography, watercolor, anything creative.

[@crosscountrycottage3049]

My favorite subject was history and geography! Love your ideas for creating a kids homeschool photography course!

[@sakinavakil717]

Human Biology always and forever! Can't ever get bored of that!

[@triciajobst3911]

My favorite subject in school was Art, but being I was public schooled I struggled in almost every other subject. Since switching to The Good and The Beautiful last year, Language Arts is now my absolute favorite subject to not only teach but learn alongside my guys 🥰

[@chrisanddaniellecline3834]

my favorite subject was foreign languages (French & Spanish)

[@amandafinley0328]

I stumbled across your channel when I was first looking into homeschooling almost three years ago! I came for the homeschooling info and stayed for your cute fam, you guys are awesome and I love all of your updates!! We are using Blossom & Root this year for our spine and supplementing with The Good & The Beautiful for handwriting and Math Lessons for a Living Education for our Kindergartener. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experiences with us, all of your insight has helped this newbie homeschooling momma :) Our favorite subject, between me and my four kiddos, is science!

[@zoeyrosselit9576]

My favorite school subject was English. Still love reading and writing 😁

[@clownarchive]

My personal favorite subject has always been history. We are using The Good and the Beautiful's History curriculum for the first time this year, and I am so excited to get into it!

[@erickakeator5254]

My favorite subject in school was... orchestra. Does that count? 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@trishacavin305]

Ericka Cox I think it counts for sure!!!

[@valereecourson9852]

Favorite school subject history and bible

[@marissasueplas]

Done and done ! My favorite school subject has always been science but as I get older and more into my college career I fall more and more in love with history as well!

[@paolaarchundia5502]

I’m such a science and history nerd 🤓!!!!!! Love love !!

[@courtneycrossan7263]

My favorite subject is history, I think! I love putting the puzzle together of the catalyst from one time period to the next.

[@autumnitzen3485]

I really enjoyed math I think it is something that you use a lot in your life!

[@rachelsaunders3800]

Would love to see an updated photography course! We are always looking for new elective options. My favorite subject in school was reading/literature & history. I am an avid reader, love learning about our world and our country, and hope to instill that in my girls. I would love to see a video about how you go about choosing the read alouds and independent readers that your older children do.

[@I_Buildfun247]

Very interested in the photography homeschooling course 🙌🏻

[@aubreyfogle6066]

I loved music and art in public school, now that I teach my children I’ve discovered I love learning everything in new and exciting ways!

[@aniagrabara8695]

My favourite school subject was math/chemistry🙂

[@rachaelcook8354]

I love them all, but especially math and social studies! I’m going to Childhood Education at the moment and LOVE these videos! It makes my little teacher heart so happy 💘💘

[@debibrockman4175]

I love TGTB!! My favorite subject in school was math because it's easy. 😁

[@brr3758]

History was by far my favorite subject in school!! This is my first year homeschooling and I am so happy to be able to teach history to my kiddo!

[@charmainehanna6782]

My favourite was always History & English. I loved both lessons as I've always been a huge reader & loved writing my own stories. When it came to History I loved learning about castles, different eras especially Victorian England.

[@amandawalker03]

Loved Math in school. However I love teaching LA - phonics & reading. So fun seeing them learn how to read! It was the number one thing I thought I’d fail at in homeschooling. And now my oldest is in 4th grade and reads just fine & my 1st grader is doing great too!

[@notesfromtheparsonage]

My favorite subject in school was Literature, Science, and math. I pretty much loved school, except for P.E. My favorite subject to teach is surprisingly history. It wasn't my favorite in school, but I have really enjoyed going through it with my kids. I learned in a splatter patterns, but going through chronologically with my kids gave me much better insight into the whole of history.

[@iheartafrica18]

My favorite subject was always music. Still enjoy it to this day. I am new to homeschooling and have binge watched all of your homeschool videos!! Thanks for sharing.

[@Cemommster]

Science. I’m a science nerd. We started Writing Strands this year. I was IMPRESSED with Masterbooks at the convention I went to. I love the idea of the second looping basket. Please do a video when you have it.

[@megankelley3853]

My favorite subjects in public school were all the extracurriculars like Home Ec, Gym, Cooking, and art classes. My oldest is absolutely fascinated by science, though! She is so excited to be switching to TGTB this year!

[@mandijayne]

My favorite school subject was always English related, until I got older and picked an Art History elective in High School-I absolutely loved that!

[@mrs.HartOfaQueen]

My favorite subject is Math. I just love all the creativeness that you incorporate in your homeschool classroom. Keep up the all the amazing thing you do!

[@elizabethsullivan4374]

History is my favorite subject to learn and to teach...I love people so it makes sense that I love learning about people's experiences. 😊

[@kas652010]

I loved math! I still love it. I took advanced math classes in college for fun, which my husband thought was crazy. It’s definitely one of my favorite subjects to teach my kids.

[@maplesyrupandp5097]

Collectively our favorite subject is history. We all learn so much and have the best time doing it together!

[@josephkaittyjett6627]

I just started homeschooling this year and I love math/writing. My daughter is so excited to start!

[@MrsBmfVR]

When I was in school, science or history was my favorite subject. My favorite to teach in home school is unit studies (science, history are included)

[@ashleyallen6479]

It has always been science and art but now that I’m homeschooling my oldest I am in love with history!!! We are doing meteorology and space science this year too :)

[@TheLangleyLife]

Chemistry, physics and marine biology were my absolute favorites in school. I’m hoping my kids adopt a love for them too, because teaching them will be so much fun!

[@Olgaleigh]

the timeline for the Good and the Beautiful starts their timeline in the second year and beyond not for the first. I was so excited to see they continue it for the third year as well and I think the fourth.

[@atempereddream]

My favorite subject in school was JROTC. I absolutely loved the structure and military drill and ceremony.

[@ashgarstin4307]

I always loved English, especially reading and grammar. Reading widely was by far the best thing I ever did for my education.

[@schoolbeginsaftercoffee4759]

Science was my favorite subject in school. I've noticed my kids have picked up on my enthusiasm for science, and they love science day.

[@bethw7686]

My favorite subject when I was in school, when I was teaching public school, and now as a homeschooler is absolutely reading! Not the teaching to read part; that stuff is horrifying. But reading with my kids, watching their faces and they become immersed in a book, sharing books I love with them.....that is the best thing ever.

[@bethanythompson6025]

History was my favorite subject in school and now as a homeschooling mama, it continues to be my fav!

[@RaisingNobles]

Long time subscriber and IG follower here 🙋‍♀️ actually I used to read your blog like 10 years ago too 🤗🤗 My favorite school subject is definitely history 😊😊

[@yailencedeno4659]

My favorite subject in school had to be science. It was Awesome, to walk in to class and see all the cool things laid out in our desk.

[@shelly82mm]

My favorite school subject was Science!!!! Love learning about the beautiful things God has created for us 💕💕💕

[@sabrinahadro8782]

I loved art growing up. When I got to college, I loved all my bible and youth ministry classes!

[@TalyahsMommy]

Favorite subject is science for sure. I especially love learning new things while teaching!

[@baileysbeautiful]

I’ve always always loved language arts! Spelling, vocab, grammar, reading, writing. All of it!

[@amandanjax90]

I am loving all this homeschool content! I am about to start my son next Monday so this is perfect motivation!

[@Cannonator1]

I love History too! I liked it growing up, but as I’ve gotten older I am just so fascinated with everything History! Definitely trying to instill that into our kiddos too!

[@MandyWinkle]

I loved English and History when I was in school. I am entering my 3rd year of homeschooling and I think this will be the year I find my rhythm.

[@Josey168]

My favorite subject was art class! It was nice to be able to express myself through art and you can really zone out into your own world with it ♥️

[@PursuingPeace]

I loved history! Even though I feel like I didn't learn anything now that I'm teaching my kids. 😜 I married a history major that seems to remember everything so I LOVE having him teach the little ones too. :) Thanks for this video!

[@konathebear]

This year I am loving TGTB Math! My kids can’t wait to do it every day.

[@Victoria-yt3zx]

English was my favorite through elementary and high school. but now that I am in college, I really like math! I am an early childhood and early intervention major and working for my masters!

[@jamiewagner7066]

My favorite school subject was English, but I am taking classes now to re-learn math and science because I really want to love those too!

[@XxXshonastarXxX]

History and literature were my favourites growing up. Teaching my own children now I enjoy doing math and art with them.

[@SuperCilla21]

My favorite school subject has always been science. Specifically animal science and Chemistry. I absolutely loved those subjects in school.

[@bobbij10]

I am new to TGTB and just recently started using the history curriculum. English was my favorite subject in school.

[@creeksidehomeschoolers]

I love the book choices and some of them are on our list too! Yes I think a photography online course would be great!

[@mashaeturi6238]

My favorite now is read aloud time and all the science and history I am relearning with my kids. Growing up it was all math and science for me!

[@joeythompson2388]

My favorite subject was history! I had amazing history teachers in middle and high school and they really helped me fall in love with it

[@BlueEyedSkinner]

English was my favorite! I could not read (struggled with dyslexia) until I was around 11 and after it clicked I read EVERYTHING and loved learning about language.

[@laurenperrine4481]

My favorite is definitely science... simply because it’s the most hands-on and I’m able to do it with multiple ages.

[@CapturedBeauty1710]

My favorite subject is geography and it is my favorite to teach my boys as well! I love to see them learn about a new country and different cultures :)

[@Lqxm-p4u]

I loved history and now I'm having fun introducing art history to our curriculum this year.

[@TheWildHaven]

Language and Literature has always been my favorite! It's my favorite to teach my children as well.

[@Angelinajoy111]

English is/was always my favorite! I loved it so much I took English classes as electives on high school 🤓😍 Now that I homeschool I focus on it a lot with my daughter and she also loves it 🥰

[@jemsopp7125]

I LOVE your idea of the ‘Descent’ loop basket! I’ve been wanting to do something like that with my girls but have struggled with exactly how to put it together. Looking forward to that video! Also, this is my first year homeschooling and I want to thank you because I was very overwhelmed with all the curriculum choices, but your videos have made my decisions easier. We seem to have similar ideas when it comes to educating our kids and we’re so excited to start this journey. 😀

[@ccoledude]

High school English. I had amazing teachers who really fostered a love of reading and critical thinking.

[@heatherkelly746]

Growing up I loved Math! I wasn't the best at it but I had an amazing 5th grade teacher who taught me how to love it even if you aren't good. 😊

[@cuddlepotbootcamp]

My favorite subject in school was astronomy.. We were given a choice at school to either study solid materials or astronomy for physics but since only two people put their hands up for astronomy, solid materials won (majority rules). So I ended up studying astronomy independently :)

[@biancagross9080]

Love these videos that you have out together. Although I'm not a homeschooling mama and our kids go to public school I think that these are great for them as well.

[@autumnkeil1002]

I've always loved History and English!!! Those are also my favorite subjects to teach my children!

[@Fatimerz]

My favorite subject is probably Spanish or English! I think languages in general are a treat to learn, but I’ve also had so much fun teaching English and Spanish

[@mariapacheco6828]

SCIENCE!!!!! There’s something truly amazing about exploring, testing, and learning.

[@crystalkeagy272]

Yes, Yes, Yes for the online photography course for kids! My 13 yr old son would jump on that opportunity!

[@TheBeautifulUpsideDown]

I can’t pick a favorite! Probably language arts, because I’m personally strongest with that subject (as far as teaching) ... but I love basic math and learning about certain periods of time for history!!

[@lianec6337]

My favorite school subject has always been history. Thank you for all the helpful videos!

[@kirbylewis6869]

My favorite subject was math in elementary school and then middle and high school I loved all my language classes, English, Spanish and Latin.

[@PreciousAngelochek]

I love English, love all the read aloud and learning through all the books!

[@Tatyana2006]

My favorite subject in school was History! Its also my favorite to teach in our homeschool.

[@stephaniepriest9189]

Love mix and matching curriculum and making it our own and what works best for each child!! My favorite subject is science!! We really go crazy with experiments and we all enjoy it!! 😁

[@confidentgrace]

Loved English. I was an absolute book work, so I read as much as I could. I also really loved to write.

[@ElevatorLunch]

This was such an interesting video. In my country homeschooling isn’t really done at all (I’d even say it’s a little taboo) so I have conflicting opinions on it. That being said I was so impressed by the range of material your kids are going to be covering and the level of choice they get about their studies from such a young age. It’s very interesting for me to see how a homeschooling system can work.

[@brynnhartsock5817]

My favorite has always been science and I’m excited to see what my sons will be! 🔬

[@jesslonghurst2426]

My favorite subject is art. But I really love science too because my son and I have so much fun learning it together!

[@allriledup5668]

My favorite subject in both high school and college were my psychology and sociology courses, really helped me understand myself and other people and the world more holistically 🤗🎉

[@tiffanystelting1078]

My favorite subject when I was younger was Math. Now my youngest sons favorite subject is Science I think he would love this!

[@alexmilianmd]

I got chills when you talked about the “descent” study you’re doing. So exciting and important!! My favorite subject in school was history, but only once I was in college. Before that I didn’t find it all that interesting. Maybe because my teachers weren’t all that passionate about it either.

[@janellbrizal237]

My favorite subject in school was science! I’m so excited to do Science with my kids this year!

[@gettingjamieback1888]

Science was the favorite of mine! Went to technology camp for summers. Hoping my kids feel the same soon

[@plantbasedpisces5755]

I loved anything that was an elective. Photography was my favorite. But I also loved creative writing:) This is such a perfect gift! First time homeschooling mama and science is one of my lo's fav!!!
