I am also greatly simplifying our homeschool year this year. I have my top priorities and then I have those things that if we get to them, great and if we don't I will still count the year as successful because I believe I'm doing exactly what the Lord led me to do.
I enjoy your videos even though I have never used CLE or TGATB. I love that you stay consistent with curriculum, that you keep things pretty simple, and yet you are not afraid to change when you need to!!!! I have been pretty electic in curriculum but we have been using Easy Peasy's all in one curriculum, Classical Conversations, and Math Lessons for a Living Education (for my oldest who will be a 6th grader...eeekkk!!!!).
Love your choices, Toni! We are about to start our 22nd year of homeschooling with only five years to go! 😳 Cannot believe it!! Praying you have a great year! 💗
I absolutely agree that using all CLE (especially with active little boys) is torture 😂. My son is finishing up TGTB Level 3 in the next few weeks and will then move to Level 4. We both really enjoyed Level 3.
I’ve had to do the opposite this year. I absolutely love CLE’s math and language arts, but my 8-yr-old is almost in tears everyday with their math but surprisingly likes the language arts. So we are sticking with CLE for language arts, but switching back to TGATB for math. She did TGATB math for kindergarten and she misses the color and games.
Make bible memory cards with pokemon character or different unique trucks like digger, bobcats on the back. Then he can think. Digger- proverbs 18-10 the name if the Lord is a strong tower the righteous run to it and are safe. Even saying things like we run to God like the digger runs to the dirt pile😂 He needs mental visuals that HE cares about to help his memory. Hes not lazy but bored with verses And thats ok. You are doing great❤
We LOVE TGATB!!! I have only used their old Level 3 LA for 2 kids, but I've got 2 kids left below 3rd grade who will use the new level when they get there.
I love it! I have a third grader this year as well. She’s using CLE level 3 math, language arts, and reading. For Bible she has a child’s Bible reading plan. For theology, history, literature, and science she is using Sonlight.
Thank you for sharing your son's 3rd grade curriculum! Do you have an opinion about CLE science and social studies? Most homeschool families seem to use other curriculum for these subjects, so I've not heard them discussed on RU-vid.
We are doing a coop this year! I didn’t mention it bc I don’t know what classes the kids will be taking yet. But it’s more of a fun coop, with electives rather than the academic classes we took last year.
