Honest Mid-Year Homeschool Update| What’s Working (and what almost made us quit!)

Описание: Is your homeschool curriculum actually working? In today's video, I’m sharing our Mid-Year Homeschool Curriculum Review! As a homeschooling mom of 4, I’m giving you an honest look at what we’re loving, what we’re struggling with, and the simple "game-changer" that saved our math lessons this year.

We share the reality of falling behind due to outside projects and how we are catching up with our workbooks. If you are looking for a curriculum that suits your kids' unique learning styles, I hope our experience helps you decide!

Curriculum Mentioned:

Language Arts: Abeka (Grade 3, 4, and 7)

Math: Singapore Primary Mathematics (3B & Level 6)

Writing: Writing & Rhetoric (Book 2)

Vocabulary: Wordly Wise

Science: Apologia (Flying Creatures & Human Anatomy)

History: Abeka American History & Library-based State Studies

The Big Takeaway:
If you are struggling with Singapore Math or any technical curriculum, don't give up! Buying the Teacher’s Guide and Answer Key completely changed my 7th grader's attitude toward math. Also, if you have a child who fears writing, Writing & Rhetoric has been a total blessing from God for our family.

A Little Gift for Your Description
Since you mentioned the 7th-grade Abeka timing issue, you might want to add a pinned comment or a small note in the description like this:

Note: If you use Abeka 7th Grade Reading, I’ve learned that the timing is part of their "speed and comprehension" goals, but just letting them read and answer is perfectly fine too! Do what works for your child!
