Nerdy homeschool videos is totally my idea of fun these days!😂❤

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

This is a safe place to admit that. :P Homeschools moms have our own quirky ideas of fun topics of conversation... ;)

I'm so looking forward to using Sequence 1! I think we'll have a blast.

@jessicajones611 10 месяцев назад

Such a helpful video, thank you! Bfb sounds lovely, but Sonlight works for my brain, lol 😃. We love that it primarily is discussion based, just cuddling up on the sofa with me reading to my kids and weird and wonderful chats afterwards wards. We are over half way through HBL A 2022 World Cultures and the read alouds have been excellent.

@SevenInAll 10 месяцев назад

All those discussions and conversations are one of the best parts of homeschool! Choosing the Teacher Guide that aligns best with the way your brain works is a VERY good strategy when it comes to curriculum choice!

@elizabethlotus4214 10 месяцев назад

This is one of my favorite videos ever! So helpful! Thanks for the detailed review and comparison.

@SevenInAll 10 месяцев назад

Oh, wow, so glad to hear that!

@kdwerner 11 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this! This was a super helpful video, I didn’t really understand the differences between these curriculums until I watched this!

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

I'm glad it was helpful! There are so many similaries and overlaps between the three...but also distinct differences. I'd had multiple requests to talk about how they compare, so you are definitely not alone!

What a nice comparison! We are doing the BFB one this year, and it's been a good fit for us. Amen to liking something being an important factor!

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

@gbcflower 11 месяцев назад

This was excellent. Never mind that it is a long video. I had no trouble watching until the end.

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback! :) Some video topics simply seem to need more time to cover all the information I want to include.

@thekangaline2914 11 месяцев назад

My favorite thing about Sonlight was the grid schedule! To the point that we aren't using Sonlight this year so I made my own grid calendar as my lesson plans for the year.

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

That's awesome that you were able to DIY your favorite piece of the program! My brain also thrives with grid schedules. :)

@heidibarker2120 11 месяцев назад

I have used BFB and Sonlight. I love both. I currently have one child in SL W (world history) and one using BFB California History. I feel like SL’s grid is easier to use for the person who is a planner and BFB is better for the person who prefers flexibility. Lesson length can vary greatly in BFB. So I need to put a little more thought and effort into planning and scheduling. Also, I am planning my daughter’s readers as opposed to have them laid out with SL. Both have benefits, and I welcome a year to plug in some classics that I want her to read. She will go back to SL next year for HBL F. Obviously my children are older than the target age of the levels you discussed. I appreciated your thorough comparison. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

BFB definitely tends to require more planning--the Teacher Guides are one of the most dramatic differences between the two curriculums and yes, they both have their benefits! Also--love HBL F!!

@melissacurled 5 месяцев назад

Probably because I say it like it's going to be SO exciting. :P

This was very helpful. How would you compare Peaceful Press Playful Pioneers with Gentle & Classical Press Sequence 1? I had wanted to go with Sequence 1, but then when I learned Sequence 2 will not be out till 2025, I hestitqted to proceed with it. Currently my kids will be in 3rd, 2nd and Kindergarten (she is an advanced kindergartener).

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

Playful Pioneers is another similar program that could be included with these three for sure--however, I haven't used any Peaceful Press programs so I don't feel as confident doing a thorough comparison. Playful Pioneers does cover a longer stretch of history, going further into modern US history, beyond the Civil war into the Age of Industry. Playful Pioneers also includes a broad range of subject areas, though a slightly different collection from Sequence 1. I know that Playful Pioneers is known for their recipes and for including lots of kitchen/cooking activities. They schedule the Little House series as read alouds, or the Little Britches Series for older kids, I believe.

I’m using Sonlight A with 2nd grade readers with my 2nd grader this year.

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

It's nice that you can choose different levels of readers depending on the level of your child!

@Grace_Filled_Homeschool 11 месяцев назад

@@SevenInAll yes it is. I have found my children prefer the shorter books in first and second grade and I also don’t want to do that much history in k and 1. I love the new A and did not want to miss it. Now having looked through it I am so glad I waited to use it. It’s a lot of information!

@RockSimmer-gal4God 11 месяцев назад

We are planning to use beautiful feet science history!!! I preferred sequence one due to the fact it includes other history to American history!!! I love that we can use it as a family and my older kids can read other books themselves!!! My older kids are finding the catechisms awesome!!! We are able to discuss them more deeply with them and I see it’s planting a seed in my youngest’s heart!!! I find sonlight’s guide is a bit too much!!! I don’t like the weekly grids!!! We love the verbal discussions with sonlight!!! I love the flexibility with sequence one!!! I grew up with art and I remember my favourite art book and my kids love the same one!!! They grab it at grammie’s!!!

@SevenInAll 11 месяцев назад

That "History of Science" from BFB looks pretty cool!
