What was that small chuckle at the beginning though? I don't think there is anything funny for a book which is talking about some serious issues... Or maybe, it was a laughter induced by nervousness... for you are making a video for a larger audience. Anyways, the book is a beautiful read with some heartwrenching moments... Thank you for the recommendation.
I honestly dont get the Tomie DiPaola hype. We've read 2 maybe 3 of his works and that was more than enough. I cant put my finger on it exactly but I found his books easily forgettable.
Sounds really great!! Thanks for sharing. I really like curriculum that doesn’t add Biblical beliefs but just sticks to basic Bible. That’s what we love soooo much about The Good and the Beautiful. I love that it teaches morals and basic Bible about God, but no beliefs so each family can teach what they personally believe. ❤❤
No, I didn't think so. This is a small company, as in mother and daughter. The nice thing is you can be sure your money is going directly to support another homeschool family.
The issue i have with this video is that the Sabbath is not our day to choose. God made 6 days but only one day Holy. Please realign your thinking with scriptural accuracy. God Bless friends
New subscriber here! Would you do a video review of Go Global now that it has been a year? I haven’t seen anyone actually do a review after using the whole program. Thanks!
Because my family has done a lot of studies around the world we ended up skipping sections we had recently studied. I can tell you we really enjoyed what we did do, especially for my 5/6 year old. I really liked the book list, a great variety of animals, land, life style, silly and educational. We did some creative crafts, and made some fun recipes. My kids still play with the world mat and some animal toys I bought at hobby lobby. I have a friend with younger children, ages 4 and 6, who used it this year and has followed the laid it plan, and she is still raving about it. I hope that helped some. It's a curriculum I would do again if I homeschool another child.
This looks awesome! Thanks so much for sharing! How deeply does it dive into each country chosen from the continent (like one book? a study of that country? etc.)? I'm looking to do something like this for my son's kindergarten year, but I'd love to focus on countries as well as continents. :)
Yes, it goes a bit into countries, some more than others, kind of depends on how much is available for that country too. When we did Africa I did additional searching for more countries and lots don't have books for kids available. I think it's a very appropriate level for Kindergarten. For upper ages I love the Gather Round connecting continents! But I think those go too deep for kinder level.
Do you have a link to the primary booklist that you mentioned is online? I was on the website but couldn’t find it. How much prep time was required? Were the supplies needed things that you could find around the house?
Yes, supplies are things you most likely have or can easily get. Prep time is minimal. You have to look ahead to reserve books from your library. Other than that you might want to do a quick look at the beginning of the week to see what's cooking up, but it's really open and go. I think the book list is available through a link provided once you own the curriculum.
I love how globally focused your homeschool and family are! 🥰 My husband is from Brazil, and our family lives in Asia and loves studying countries too. Thanks for sharing this! This looks like something we should check out!
I just took a look at your channel! I think we need to chat sometime, we could for sure be friends. If you're on Instagram send me a DM or email me at familystylelearning@gmail.com
This curriculum looks so awesome! I have 4 boys k-6th grade In your opion do you think pairing just the game from GO GLobal and connecting continents from Gather Round would work 🤔 I have only used the inventions and ideas unit so far and debating on sticking with Gather Round or Moving on to something more in depth. I appreciate your thoughts!
Oh my goodness. I missed this comment before. I'm so so sorry. I really like the connecting continents units, but did find some of the lessons to be overwhelming for my young children. I think if you are the kind of mom that likes to make things your own and can choose well what to do and what to pass on they could go together, but if your the mom that wants to do it all it would be to overwhelming. But I'm curious, what did you end up doing?
Using it as a spine for your family subject/ time together can span quite a bit but no it won't offer enough to really consider it a curriculum for anything beyond 4th grade. 3rd and 4th took quite a bit of additional creativity to even make those work. Have you checked out Gather Round? They have great unit studies for each continent that are appropriate for k-12!
Great suggestions, I will be borrowing these and I am Canadian! We could definitely build an igloo this week, -52, my kids build snow forts all the time, when it warms up of course.
You seem like such a genuine and caring soul. Thank you for sharing your perspective. My 8 y/o is hesitant for us to foster, because he’s scared to have to say goodbye. I’m glad I stumbled onto you video, I’ve been wondering what to say to him.
@@bearhilladventures Our Advent calendar includes a book each day. The books rotate from action theme like volunteering, song theme ( about Christ), movie theme (traditional ones and Christian), and cooking theme.
@@laurenj.5312 oh my goodness, a mixture of it being too late at night and my dyslexia I totally read "Adventure Rotation" instead of "Advent" 🤦♀️ That's sounds like a great way of doing it though. Thanks for explaining.
You might also love Layers of Learning. It’s a ton of activities for history, geography, art, and science that you pick and choose (with book lists for all subjects). All the subjects sort of dovetail together. Or you can do them individually So if you were learning about caves that would be your science portion, for art you might do cave paintings, for geography you might learn where different caves are, for history you might learn about cave men. You choose what you learn and it’s a four year cycle if you want to do it that way. Or you can just pick and choose random things with it with other curriculum or just on its own. I truly believe everyone should own it in homeschool just for the ideas even if you don’t use the 4 year cycle. It’s like Pinterest laid all out for you on paper in order of history. It’s amazing! They also have writer’s workshop that is awesome too! And they have a really great podcast to listen to even if you aren’t using their curriculum.
@@bearhilladventures I think you’ll like it based on your picks from your channel. There is a channel called Today’s Joy that has a ton about it. Also Layers of learning has a YT channel as well.
