MIDDLE SCHOOL HAUL // Books, Curriculum, Supplements

[@PenniesAndSalt]

We LOVE Horrible Histories! 🤣 Also, Tanner enjoyed Crispin and Redwall for that era of history. There is a Redwall cartoon series (more for older kids) and my kids really enjoyed it too. Might be fun for her to watch after reading it.

We used the Story of the World Middle Ages this last year and enjoyed it! Toward the end of the year, I splurged on the CDs and it’s one of the best things I’ve done. Because now we can casually listen in review (as we are doing prepping for evaluations) or casual interest. It also worked very well for my son to have him hold the physical book and read along as the CD read the text, it helped a lot to have him see the more complex words and sentences instead of just hearing me read them as we had been doing (3rd grade reading level). Hope you enjoy them!

What great additions. Take time for art looks great. Looking forward to your review on that. if you have one for the one y’all have already tried, can you send me a link?

Great haul and lots of jewels were dropped. Thanks for the advice on Drive thru History and the art pack. We are starting Masterbook's World Story 1 in August.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for sharing. Would love to see a flip through of the BJU Explorations in literature if you are able.

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Thank you so much! I have recorded a video with a mini flip through of it. The video on our Literature plans should be releasing in the next 2 weeks. Please let me know if you would like a more detailed flip through. Thank you!

Great stuff. Was there a link for the ancient Rome art pack?

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Thank you so much! The link for Take Time for Art is at the bottom of the description box. I hope you enjoy!

Also, I forgot to ask are the Art kits enough for multiple children or do I buy one per person?

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

There are certain things that you would need to purchase on your own. If I was doing the Egypt pack with multiple children, I would buy one and then purchase the air dry clay and plaster bandages at my local art supply store. The remaining supplies you need could easily be found in my craft closet (ie, paint, cardboard, watercolors, etc). Your kids would have to share the templates/mask form. This means one child would use the mask form one day and let it dry and then the next child could use the mask form the next day. If that doesn't work for you, then you probably would want to get the "Essentials" pack instead of the complete pack for the additional children.
