Love Beautiful Feet Books and I met Rea Berg and we talked about the Lord, books and homeschooling. She is lovely. You can always pick the middle history study with them and grab a few of the upper books for your bigs to read. I have a Huge span from high school to first grade and this has worked well for us. I have already graduated one and he has done well and has a well rounded education 🥰 went to college and in his career. Love your curriculum picks.

Gracias por compartir, mi hijo también irá a 7th grado y pude tomar algunas ideas de tu excelente elección ;). A mi hijo le gusta mucho la mitología, incorporaremos códigos de hammurabi, gilgamesh, la odisea, iliada la eneida. Me encanta tu canal y siempre te tomo como referencia para incorporar materias. Blessings.

The Institute for Creation Research has a couple young earth dinosaur books that we grabbed. Guide to Dinosaurs would be great for his age. We absolutely love it. We're using TGTB paleontology this fall as well and it's gorgeous! Mindful Family has a great flip through up. Please do a review over Master Books paleontology course. I love your reviews :)

@WonderfulCrow43638 2 года назад

I LOVE beautiful feet! I’m excited to see how you use it. We have been doing around the world in picture books and it’s just so fun to read the sweet picture books

@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable 2 года назад

I cannot wait to see more about the new Paleontology unit and the MB one too. My daughter has been eagerly awaiting its release!

@allisonkennedy9116 2 года назад

Check out the Ark Encounter homeschool experience. I hear it is awesome! They are doing it yearly.

@shanaves2830 2 года назад

I really enjoy the books from beautiful feet and Masterbooks

@Sdewebb 2 года назад

Looks great. I can't wait to see how the year goes. I'm patiently waiting for your youngest daughters curriculum choices. My oldest is incoming third and I look to the mama's who have experienced more for their choices and "why's". As always thanks for sharing.

@jennyb.6847 2 года назад

YESSSS to BFB!! We love it!

@vanessab846 2 года назад

We bought all the dinosaur books individually (without the curriculum) to go along with TGATB paleontology unit. It was challenging to find dinosaur books from a biblical viewpoint, so I was so excited to find those from Masterbooks! A couple more we found were Chronicles of Dinosauria by Dave Woetzel and Dry Bones & Other Fossils by Gary E. And Mary M. Parker, if you’re interested!

@mamasaurusrex5915 2 года назад

I think it’s AWESOME that he chose paleontology for his elective! My son would love that, I’m gonna check it out!

@mamabenzing5872 2 года назад

The Masterbooks dinosaur curriculum looks like something my boys would love!!!

@caitlinwightman1694 2 года назад

I love that he chose dinosaurs as his elective! I could see my son making the same choice. I’m curious what the other choices you gave him for electives were, just out of pure interest.

@VoodooCrab 2 года назад

I would love to see what titles you have there for the readers. You know, that big pile you held up that will be going in the morning basket. ♥

@tramseyplanter2 2 года назад

I would love to see a video about doing Rd Aloud. Why you do it? Is it really that important for your fam & why? Just my thoughts...I also have a hard time keeping up on rd aloud, so if anything to just encourage me to not let it fall to the wayside

@hgardzina 2 года назад

Absolutely love Beautiful Feet Books. We will be using the new K-3 Geography course along with American History for my 1st graders and Ancient History and History of Science for my 7th grader.

@maggiehermanson6298 2 года назад

Gather round has a great dinosaur course too, just a FYI. I'm definitely looking into the masterbooks course you just mentioned. My oldest has a big interest as well :)

@100Elephant 2 года назад

I love the jr. high elective idea! We did that in Christian school, plus a study hall. Planning to do that now for our girls when they get there, God willing.

@sarahlzweifel 2 года назад

We LOVE Beautiful Feet, BJU Press and Wordly Wise!

@hannah-rj8ju 2 года назад

How will you teach History x2, plus Science, plus Apologetics?

@halliestoltz2736 2 года назад

Yes would love to see an updated schedule video! I’m at a point where I have to split my kids this year too! I have a 7th grader and 1st and 3rd.

@JuliaCantley 2 года назад

Another that would love to hear this too

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

By the grace of God. Kidding:kinda schedule video coming in the future

@kelseywright8507 Год назад

Hey! Do you use the teacher's key/manual for Wordly Wise, or do you just buy the student book? Thanks! Love your videos - SOOOOO helpful!

@staclar7 Год назад

I have the same question!

@3LittleBearsMom 2 года назад

TGATB Level 7 LA has a book study challenge. I believe they suggest reading 7 or 8 different books. Will you guys be doing that? I’d love to see a video on what books you’ll pick for that challenge.

@teaandteaching537 2 года назад

We’re doing Energy soon also - my boys got solar robots for Christmas- so they can’t wait :)

@DollyJohanne 2 года назад

I have been to an ark here in Norway, and loved it, but there was no dinosaurs there. So yeah for the decider to want to learn about dinosaurs in a biblical way 🙌 Often we as Christians get questions about how old the earth is, and about dinosaurs too, and we are treated as idiots in lack of better English wording for believing the Bible, and knowing more about dinosaurs in a biblical way will both be interesting for him (and your family) and for later on to have a deep down knowledge and could answer questions in a good way. Thank you for sharing, love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

@3LittleBearsMom 2 года назад

@tracieforeman1538 2 года назад

I would love to hear the other ideas you offered as an elective!

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

I offered him some other historical studies since that’s also something he’s extremely interested in!

@diaryofahomeschoolmama9191 2 года назад

Oh man, now I'm nervous to continue with teaching textbooks.... 🤦‍♀️ I've had my concerns but so many use it that I figured its surely a sound curriculum. Would love a video with your thoughts on why it wasn't a good fit and maybe the gaps you've seen with your kids from using it.

@heatherjordan4022 2 года назад

I would stay with TT if you like it. My older son switched from Saxon to Teaching Textbooks in high school. It was wonderful! He scored high on his SATs, earned an A in Calculus 1 his freshman year at a university with a strong engineering program, and he is now a junior on his way to earning a degree in electrical engineering. I’ve read all the scary reviews too, however not all kids are going to be good at math and it wouldn’t matter what curriculum they use.

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

I’d disagree. My son is extremely gifted in math. To the point of not even using a pencil and paper for his algebra 1 course with shormann this year. He too, was very frustrated by the lack of instruction provided in the 15-20 min lecture on tt.

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

There wasn’t one isolated case of… ok this is missing. Overall as the curriculum continued I began to see huge concepts not being taught. Lack of instruction and examples on what is taught. Large jumps in the sequence of concepts introduced. And once something is skipped over in math the foundation begins to have cracks making further concepts much more difficult to understand. And much more. But it’s best that each family discover and research it for themselves.

@emilylakebrink7363 2 года назад

Do you have a video on how you select elective choices for your kids, or where you get ideas from? I would love to know for future middle/high schoolers!

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

I kind of just look around and make a mental list of things I think they’d enjoy learning more on.

@olivialara2803 2 года назад

If possible could you do a flip through of the maturation from the Good and the Beautiful? I also have an upcoming 7th grader and am interested in using it.

@SDaulton 2 года назад

She has a previous video about it. TGATB also has a full sample view on their website. I just ordered it today :)

@momhoodlife1346 2 года назад

Thank you for this Video as I am preparing my 7th grader! I wanted to ask, How do you go about grading and grades for transcripts?

@laceydavis6501 2 года назад

I looked at beautiful feet for this year but decided on Notgrass America the Beautiful. I'm excited to hear how BF goes for y'all this year!

@kassiewaits1445 2 года назад

Could you please share what you used to fill in the gaps since teaching textbook wasn’t covering enough?

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

Well, since I didn’t realize it until it was too late with my olders I stopped him immediately and did principles of mathematics this year. To prepare for pre algebra.

@jennajadeg7010 2 года назад

We are doing BFBooks too!! I love the idea to use those books as read alouds with the olders, I may bring my daughter in for that as well. I am also looking into Shormann math, did they have a hard time switching when the kids needed to fill in gaps?

@icanales 2 года назад

Thank you 😊

@ashleyeisenbraun7288 2 года назад

We have used Beautiful Feet Books Around the World Part 1 and Part 2 for Kindergarten and first grade social studies! We love BFB! Can't wait to see what you think of the history course!

@AM-td2mh 2 года назад

Hi! Thank you for this. I was wondering what you do for music and art? Thank you.

@gracegreenwell2657 2 года назад

I remember when you used Sonlight. I did too.

@tinylife_homeschool 2 года назад

We're finishing up our second year homeschooling and my kids are still young, but it's just so neat to see what's possible for the years ahead of us. Any suggestions for Geography for 1st & 3rd grade? We are doing TGTB next year, but wanted something with more maps

@Sdewebb 2 года назад

Geography plays a bigger role in the good and the beautiful in Level 2 and up.

@tinylife_homeschool 2 года назад

@@Sdewebb Good to know! Thank you!

@LisaRupertus 2 года назад

We are doing BF Middle Ages with Mystery if History added :) I love your videos but please don’t do this “same intro” as an on going thing. It feels so weird to hear the same thing over and over again.

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

Not everyone watches all the videos. So if someone comes for one then they need an intro, and if you’ve watched them all then it can be skipped past so you aren’t left listening to the “same thing”. Appreciate your feedback 👍

@dinape 2 года назад

My son is just completing TT Pre-Algebra and finishing up 7th grade. I feel like there are gaps and I’d rather back up and do Shormann Pre-Algebra for 8th than have an Algebra struggle bus on my hands! 🤪 My real issue though is my twins who are going to 6th. They are finishing up TT level 6 right now. What did you use instead of Teaching Textbooks before Shormann for 6th grade? 😬 My kids have loved the TT format, but I can tell we will hit the same difficulty with pre-algebra with them. There’s just something off with the pacing and explanation of the concepts that didn’t work well. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@kiarataylor8380 2 года назад

Thanks for these videos they are so helpful! BTW how do you manage to look so put together as a mom of four? I also have four children (ages 1, 5, 8, and 11) and I'm trying hard to get back in shape and look nice again lol

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

So kind thankyouuu! I don’t get ready everyday, but obviously do before I film!

@devyduck 2 года назад

We did the Beautiful Feet Books Early American History (intermediate) with my 7th, 4th and 2nd grader. Our 9th grader used the high school Early American History. We loved it.

@ClaudiaRamirez-vj8tn 2 года назад

Thank you for this information. I have a question about Teaching Textbooks. What do you feel that is missing? I was going to switch my daughter who will be in 7th grade this year to Teaching Textbooks. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

@lyz1423 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. What choices did you give your son for his elective? Just looking for ideas. Thanks.

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

A few history unit studies! CHeck out bfb

@tracylayne9918 2 года назад

So I have been struggling so bad with if I made a wise decision going with Teaching Textbooks. We have been doing Saxon, and I have been in between “Nicole the math lady” or TT. I have already thought that I would move him into Shorman math, I have heard GREAT things about Shorman Math online! He will be in 6th grade in the fall. What grade does Shorman Math begin? I have heard there are a few missing components with TT, but just wanted your advice!

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

Take a look at the website! It better explains it than I can!

@tonjaduncan0315 2 года назад

I was just curious as to what, in particular, were the gaps with TT ? Would you mind sharing a few examples? My daughter has taken Algebra 1 & Geometry with TT. She’s done very well so far, but I’m just wondering if there are gaps that will become evident on the SAT, which she will take this next school year. Also, if I were to switch her to something like Shormann for Algebra 2, would she be able to jump right in with no problem…

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

My son also got an A+ using TT a good grade doesn’t mean that the concepts are all being taught. If she enjoys it, and you’re happy than my opinion and observation shouldn’t sway you. There wasn’t one isolated case of… ok this is missing. Overall as the curriculum continued I began to see huge concepts not being taught. Lack of instruction and examples on what is taught. Large jumps in the sequence of concepts introduced. And much more. But it’s best that each family discover and research ut for themselves.

@rusticheritagecrochet 2 года назад

Love, love Beautiful Feet Books!! They also have American History pkgs for high schoolers, too....in case that might interest you. There's a lot to like there. ;) Really enjoying your homeschool choices videos, and am looking forward to your upcoming Bible video! :) Thanks so much Ashlee for all you put into your channel! ♥️

@kaylalemperes4515 2 года назад

What options did you give for electives? Trying to figure out some options for my son...

@knrock5163 2 года назад

We also used teaching textbooks. Ever since you've made your switch I have been pondering your thoughts. You may have answered this already wondering if you could be more specific as to what holes and gaps? I have an eighth grader and 9th grader I need to determine if switching is what we need to do. I have done my own internet searching trying to find more info on gaps and I just can't find it.

@JuliaCantley 2 года назад

Yes. This would be very helpful.

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

@Mamasproutof3 2 года назад

How many days a week do you do things like history and science?

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

I alternate history and science with my youngers so one day 3/2 and then the next it switches

@MrsDoubleDW 2 года назад

Is it safe to say that you prefer browsing Master books for elective choices? Or do you also look at other sources as well? (Just noting that you've done Logic, Dinosaurs, etc).

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

Yes!

@evelynr1540 2 года назад

I have currently a 4th and 6th grader and I was wondering for the knew school year what level to place them in if I use Shorman?? Also do you think Shorman is better Saxon?

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

Never used Saxon so I can’t say!

@kayeanne9134 2 года назад

do you feel TGTB math will prepare sufficiently to go into shorman in the older grades? or do you feel you may need a different pre algebra type program in betweeen TGTB and Shorman

@GraceandGrit 2 года назад

Well I’ve only used math from tgatb up to math 4 because it wasn’t out for my older kids. So time will tell.
