I love that you stick with curriculum. That's what keeps me coming back to watch your reviews.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Glad you like them!

@thisrothtribe3780 Месяц назад

Agree 100% on having the solutions worked out in TGTB math levels above level 3! It would help so much with how many levels I’m teaching right now!

@jessicalantz4428 Месяц назад

I agree with your take on TGTB math 6. It works fantastic for my son and he loves it, but the answer key isn't really helpful in showing me how to arrive at the answer. I was so relieved when I saw Math 7 actually has solutions shown. So much more helpful.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Yes! I honestly wouldn’t use it if they hadn’t changed that!

Love your curriculum reviews!!! Thanks for the LA Highschool notes!! Valuable 🎉❤

@jessican9713 Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing these!

@lifewithginab Месяц назад

Love that they included the solution for Math 7. So far, not having solutions for the younger grades hasn't been a problem for us. Thanks for sharing your hits and misses. I totally agree with consistency when it comes to using a curriculum. It's been a blessing in our homeschool having that consistency with a company we love and works so well with our family.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Totally agree!

@jessicanix5315 Месяц назад

We ran into this issue with Math 4 with my son as well. Dad is horrible with math and I’m decent. However, between the video lesson and myself he sometimes still struggles with the lesson and we will need to slow down before moving on. I found that finding RU-vid videos with step by step instructions sometimes helps as well as extra worksheets from Teachers Pay Teachers.

@amandabolain5 Месяц назад

Thank you so much for always giving your honest reviews on curriculum!! Shormann Pre- Algebra has been amazing and I’m so thankful for your recommendations!! 🎉

@diaryofahomeschoolmama9191 Месяц назад

Absolutely my 9th grader helps my 6th grader with math when I can't! Love having older kids who are good at math lol!!! It's a blessing to this mama!

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Yes!

@marysmiley9395 Месяц назад

My 9th graders interest in history was important too. We all agreed on Biblioplan’s high school history and they loved it.

@gracegreenwell2657 Месяц назад

I admit I ask my older kids questions about my younger kids math too. I totally could have skipped this video but I do not like to miss anything. LOL We plan to use campfire curriculum units for electives next year for my youngest for middle school. She wants to do like different careers all year so we plan on doing 3: zoology, professional chef, and paleontology. Do you think 3 is too many to complete in a years time? I know they are like 12 lessons each. We tend to do electives on Fridays only but we will see when I print it.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

I think 3 is doable. Though some of lessons make take two to complete!

@cortneymckinney9215 Месяц назад

You clarified some concerns for me…I wondered about the video quality and if they were very old and to a classroom. 😬

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Just French! The rest are fantastic 💗

@LizziePinto Месяц назад

My son wants to learn French so I’m so happy that you talked about this because I was thinking about BJU

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Yes, soon!

@LetYourFaithBeBigger Месяц назад

Totally agree that math 6 (and also 5) need solutions!!! Momma doesn’t have a math brain and it’s been yearssssss! 😅

@diversekakes Месяц назад

May I suggest that you say: “My tenth grader” or “Sixth grader” instead of, “My son” or “my daughter” because I find it much easier to follow! Thank you Ashlee these videos are so so helpful.

@31jac Месяц назад

Did you look into Apologia for science? My oldest is going into 7th next year and I'm trying to figure out her path for going into and during high school. And I'm looking between Apologia and BJU for science.

@plansandprojects Месяц назад

Thank you for the perspective on language arts. I have a 6th grader who is advanced and has been raised on TGATB. I have been wondering about college coming up for him and I will follow your path with him. Also, would love to hear about dual enrollment.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Video coming soon

@donnabolt5847 Месяц назад

How do handle all the grading with all the kids? I feel like that's where i find myself overwhelmed. Teaching the 3 and trying to squeeze that in plus i need to regrade as well for one of them

@allheartandsong Месяц назад

The good and the beautiful is AWESOME 👌 ❤

@JackieBailey-ln7qj 17 дней назад

Hello! This is going to be first year homeschooling my kiddos (5th and 2nd grade)! We are going to be using TGTB and I’m so excited, I really appreciate all of the info you share and great advice! I was wondering if you have a discount code for TGTB that your followers get to use? I saw that they had a sale a few months back but we hadn’t made our final decision yet and that code no longer works. Just figured I would ask. Thanks for posting and sharing your homeschool journey with us!

@GraceandGrit 17 дней назад

No I’m sorry. They don’t often offer sale codes but 1x or 2x a year because the prices are so low! You can order through my link though and that helps them know where you heard about them and helps my channel! Good luck with your first year! 💗

@laurenreichow5427 Месяц назад

For the hymn study, do you have the name? Also, have you heard of any good stuff for searching family history?

@jademullinax9129 Месяц назад

I started our homeschooling journey with TGTB for my oldest in kindergarten… I loved it until they revamped everything. Curious if you have opinions on their new curriculum vs their older editions. We did end up switching just because it was turning into such a pain point. I feel like the watered down their curriculum to cater to the pandemic homeschoolers.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

I respectfully disagree. All revisions have improved the curriculum 💗

@molly8122 Месяц назад

I looked at the samples of BJU Chemistry. I assume there isn't an actual workbook besides the lab manual? Do you have your children answer the questions in the textbooks on paper or just take the online quizzes/test?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Answer all questions on paper. Those are graded!

@molly8122 Месяц назад

@@GraceandGrit Thank you!

@savinaa5208 Месяц назад

From Adam to Us comes with/offers a LOT of components. Which did you do this year? Did you do the whole course in one year? It seems like a lot. Just wondering how you found it. I'm excited to do it with my boys who are 2.5 years/3 grades apart. When do you think would it work well?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

It does offer ALOT! I bought both the student questions and activity books. I’d say the activity books are best for younger kids. Student questions are a must for me. We did not use the timeline, map books, or the project offerings. We completed about 80% off the lessons, because I took some time to go through Tuttle twins as well.

@sarabananna Месяц назад

Was it overwhelming to do the literature of Notgrass alongside TGTB? We are currently using TGTB for language arts and wanting to switch to Notgrass. I’m debating the literature.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

We didn’t find it to be. My kids managed switching books easily depending on the day and what was required.

@kaycejossis5448 Месяц назад

Would you recommend skipping the book studies altogether? or splitting them up over 8-11th grades? Thank you so much for all the info you provide! ❤

@jademullinax9129 Месяц назад

Was also curious about this

@Svargasc3 Месяц назад

So it’s much better to do high school ELA 1 in 8th grade, high school 2 in 9th grade, and high school 3 in 10th grade to do dual enrollment in 11th and 12th right? I wonder how that will play out since they’re coming out with an official ELA 8th grade course.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

That’s what I would do in hind sight had I known my kids would dual enroll. That’s just my personal opinion, not the advice of TGATB. I obviously haven’t seen their official La 8 yet since it’s not available so I may change my opinion after that.

@Svargasc3 Месяц назад

@@GraceandGrit my kids aren’t there yet, but hopefully we’re still able to do it that way somehow, it makes more sense.😊

@erinr86 Месяц назад

Thank you again for another informative video. My daughter is the same grade as your youngest. She’s going into 7th grade. I made a note for myself to have her do HS Language Arts TGTB for 8th grade (thanks for the tip!) 😊 Have your children used their Creative Writing elective? My daughter loves to write short stories, but I’m wondering if that would be too much Language Arts for her.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Yes currently using! Fantastic 💗

@kristenbarkey5540 Месяц назад

Does Shorman use Saxxon? Do his lessons go by Saxxon lessons?

@katsbookstack6234 Месяц назад

Such an informative video! I have a daughter going into 8th. We did 2 TGTB science units this year and some ACE PACES. Do you think TGTB would be ok for 8th or do you feel the BJU earth science is essential for high school success in science? I know your youngest has done all the science, but if not, would you consider that for her at all in 8th?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Definitely can be used with the lesson extensions. Not all but most.

@momoflittleladies Месяц назад

We bought BJU earth science videos and it was not a good fit for us; honestly we switched back to Abeka within a few weeks. Besides being unorganized and tons of papers/books the level of math is higher than we thought. My daughter struggled to follow (we have done Abeka math and Langauge since 5K) and her standardized test score are a few grade leveled ahead but it was still very overwhelming for us. My daughter is doing Masterbooks Heaven and Earth and the other will do some ACE paces!

@amandab.6815 Месяц назад

I know you have read a fair amount of the YWAM Christian Heroes books. Any you would recommend to read with an elementary crowd? I want to read them, but I don't want them to be too intense for my young ones.

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

No they are great! It’s always very mild. But the truth is important to share

@heatherbecker7242 Месяц назад

I've been exploring Shormann Algebra for my daughter. Curious as to how you put this on a transcript since it's integrated with geometry?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

1.0 algebra 1.0 geometry once the other half is done in algebra 2

@heatherbecker7242 Месяц назад

Do you spread the math out or would you list geometry and algebra 2 with credit in the same school term?

@lindseysensing Месяц назад

Have you guys ever used MathUSee? What were your reviews if you’ve used? Just curious. Of course I know you recommend TG&TB for lower and Shorman for upper. :) Thanks

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

We haven’t!

@kimberlybuman6497 Месяц назад

My son used MathUSee this year and last year- Algebra 1 and Geometry. We really liked it! The answer key does show how to solve the problems as well.

@SarahNicole0617 Месяц назад

Will u use TGTB Math high school levels with your youngest if they are available or do u think youll switch to Shorman?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Shormann

@SarahNicole0617 Месяц назад

Do you think it would be an ok transition from Saxon 8/7 in 8th to Shorman Math in 9th?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Yes and they have placement tests to be sure

BFB has a liberal undertone I do not agree with

@SarahNicole0617 Месяц назад

@@GraceandGrit I didn't know about that. Thanks.

@jessicak5370 Месяц назад

So a child who is pretty good at math but doesn’t like it and does NOT do well with a challenge should do ok with Shorman? I want my son to use it for pre algebra but I’m just worried it will be too hard for him. He’s used the good and the beautiful math since 3rd grade. Was hoping we could use 7 and then maybe he would be more ready for Shorman but he’s not liking the new math teacher for tgtb 7 :(

@allheartandsong Месяц назад

I have a question when do you do the Spanish course? do you do it as a group or individual. I have a kindergarten (soon 1), a 4th (soon 5th), and a 6th (soon 7th). all girls hehe. 🙃

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Individual. It’s meant for high school or upper middle school

@paolamichael8668 Месяц назад

So you suggest that I don’t start with my 7th yet? Or I do it only with her ?

@cottingtonmae Месяц назад

My daughter totally did level 1 in 7th, and she is doing level 2 this year. She does like the level 1 teacher better. I think he was funny or something!

@momoflittleladies Месяц назад

I purchased it for my advanced 7th grader and we found it unorganized without much review (compared to Abeka), BJU was a fraction of the cost of Abeka but ugh. Some days she would have to watch 5 videos, all different lengths and topics. Abeka was one video and reviewed constantly. I do think a 7th grader could do it though!

@SarahNicole0617 Месяц назад

Why did u choose Bju press for Science over Apologia?

@GraceandGrit Месяц назад

Because I liked BJU more. It’s also what I tried first and found it to be great so not changing.
