Absolutely love your content! Any chance you will do another series on your DIY language arts when you plan your next book?

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m not sure if I’ll do another complete novel series but I will definitely be sharing more about it as we do it. I’m so passionate about creating language arts with novels and I get so excited talking about it. So there will definitely be more videos to come. I’m so glad you enjoyed the novel series I did. I will definitely keep it in mind!

I appreciate how relaxed this is. I find that so many "family subject' videos or people's schedules can be very intense and structured. I thrive best as a teacher with structure and goals but flexibility.

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Thank you for this ❤️ I feel the same. I love structure but I also want to keep it simple.

[@patriciajackson346]

I'm loving that devotional!

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Oh I’m so glad to hear that! I can’t wait to get started!

[@Abiding.Farmhouse]

So many great choices. We did the picture study before and loved it!

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Thanks! They’re a lot of fun! I’m looking forward to it.

[@fab5bailey369]

Yay! I'm the first comment...haha. I need to get the hymn study book, it has been on my wish list for two years. My kids are older and their schedules are different so our family subjects are very few. For next year, we will do read aloud, World Watch News, Bible and game school everyday together. We do history together but separate. We use Bibloplan which is a God send curriculum. So my kids study the same time period but different ways. This year we are covering the Middles Ages, my 6th grader is using SOTW and my 8th grader is using Mystery of History as a spine. Together we will watch Time for Art and do the projects. On Mondays we do all the projects and experiments for the week because I am the most refresh. For science one is using TGTB units and the other is using Science Shepherd Life Science. I loved when we did things together but I am learning to respect their request.

[@simplylearningtogether651]

I love this so much! I’m so interested in World Watch News. Have you done it before? We lovveeedd studying the Middle Ages. That will be so fun! I’ve never heard of Biblioplan. I love when I get to learn about new resources. Sounds like you have a great year ahead of you! Thanks for sharing! I love reading about it!

[@jenniferjones6228]

You’re so enjoyable and easy to listen to! Thank you for all the great shares!

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Thank you! That is so kind and really just made my morning! 😃

[@seasonsofwonder]

Those resources sound great! So interested in that devotional....it sounds lovely. We just finished The Ology and would love to do this one. 🙏☺️

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Ooooh I’ve wanted to get The Ology. How did you like it?

[@AHeartForHomeEducation]

Have you read Elizabeth George Spears’s Sign of the Beaver for a family read aloud? That fits in your time period and enjoyed by a wide range of ages! Love your choices!

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Yes we read that last year-I loved it! It’s so fun to connect our read alouds to the time period we are learning. Thank you for the suggestion. I am so appreciative of good book recommendations!

[@danahall1282]

The memory box idea, is that a simply Charlotte mason thing?

[@simplylearningtogether651]

I do think this might be modeled after something from simply Charlotte Mason.

[@alysiarich7620]

We’re getting ready to start Berean Builders! I’d love to see how you notebook with it!!

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Oh good! We have loved it so far! I put a link in the description to a video where I share the little half pages we do for notebooking. They’re super simple and it’s a great way to record what they’ve learned! I don’t do it for every single one, but for the majority of the lessons we do.

[@user-xh4jf6pm1f]

I’m interested in some history picture books with my kindergartener! Which ones are your favorite?

[@simplylearningtogether651]

We’ve read so many!! What time period are you looking for? The blog posts that I linked in my description has lots of our favorites and one of them has the whole list! I’ll link that one here too.

Your scripture memory box is so pretty! Mine is just a plain index card box. Where did you find yours?

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Thank you!

[@HMAeagles]

What is the book you are using for hymn study? We are using picture books as well for history and science pulling from Five in a Row. I downloaded your monthly planning pages, they are helping me gear up for next year!

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Yay!! I love using the monthly plan pages. I’ll be getting mine ready here pretty soon! The hymn book is “Then Sings My soul” www.amazon.com/dp/0785249397/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_GNN5ENPGFFW7A00APJZC?linkCode=ml2&tag=simplylearnin-20

[@jessiemadanat5455]

wow i love the concept of American history through picture books how do i get more information?

[@simplylearningtogether651]

We have the best time with it! Here’s a link to the most recent unit. It’s a complete look through. That video can also link you to the blog post and download! Hope it helps and let me know if you have any other questions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXmQhmp4dqhokLc

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Here’s a link to Unit 1 (Explorers - Treaty of Paris). Unit 2 is Constitution to Civil War. Unit 3 is post civil war to WW2. I’ll eventually do a fourth unit as well. ❤️❤️ www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/American-History-through-Picture-Books-10596748

[@emilywalrath7450]

We’re going into year 3 of using Long Story Short.. it has taken us that long! But it’s really good. Granted, we don’t use it the entire year. We do Bible reading applicable to Christmas and Easter once we get to that part of the year.

[@simplylearningtogether651]

Oh this is so good to hear! And such a good idea to set it down at different times of year to study other things. I like that! Thank you ❤️ I may do the same!
