I've been homeschooling for 7 years and I still seek out review videos. It's nice to come across videos of veteran homeschoolers and I appreciate you explaining what you supplemented with, it's very helpful!
Thank you for this!! I'm looking to do this next year with both my kids. Super helpful - I like that we share the same ideal of not having busy work without a purpose. ❤
What a wonderful idea to combine the literature guides from BFB with ECC! Love it! ❤️ we are going to be doing Adventures this year, but I am so looking forward to ECC
That was amazing! We are using ECC with my 3rd and 5th grader in July and I’m excited! I never thought about moving the weeks around to match the seasons and that makes perfect sense! I definitely want to get that Words of Jesus devo. We read the Courageous Heroes book on men and Missionary Stories with the Millers this year - both were great! I’ll have to look into the Beautiful Feet connection bc that’s a great company. 🙂
Please add BFB Around the World in your title and/or description. It has been difficult to find info on how people are using both ECC and ATW. This is my plan for 22/23 school year.
You mentioned the country sheets for BF, did you buy both the printed book and the pdf version or does the printed option come with a link to download the printables?
Hello! I love that you supplemented with Beautiful feet. Were you able to only buy the teachers book and not all the extra books? I’m not seeing that option. 😢
Yes! When you're on the BF website, click on the pack you want, then below the scope+sequence click on "View Included Books"; you will see each item individually. You can add things al la carte.
Hi! When you rearranged the schedule of countries, did you have to move everything for that week? I am wondering if switching things up would mess with the order of the read-alouds, etc. I am thinking of doing this but not sure what specifically to move.
I moved everything that went with the country of study; that usually meant science, geography, activities and reading. (Depending on the ages of your kids, that will depend which books you use or do not use) Bible, Math & Lang stay consistent.
through 8th grade….I did not use it with my big kids in high school. Something I have seen in the recent 5-7yrs of homeschool trends is parents curriculum hopping a lot more than they used to. So much is always coming out, people like to try new things.
I didnt mention it since I don’t use MFW math suggestions. This year for my third grader we used Masterbooks + supplemented with Practical Arithmetic Strayer Upton.
