- Hey friends.
So glorious, glorious day.
I am going to unbox, and spread out,
and show you all of our new homeschool curriculum
for this 2018, 2019 homeschool year.
In this video I'm focusing on our younger kiddos,
ages 11 and under,
and then I'm gonna do a separate video
with our homeschool high school curriculum
choices for this year.
And I'll be showing you everything
that Zion is gonna be doing for homeschool, coming up.
So here are our big boxes of curriculum
that came from Sonlight homeschool curriculum.
You can tell by our big library
that I have always focused on a
literature-based homeschool curriculum.
Now I don't use, I have not used Sonlight every single year
but the years that I have not bough Sonlight
I have made, pretty much, homemade Sonlight.
And Sonlight uses literature as the core
of all their curriculum,
which I greatly appreciate.
So what I'm doing right now
is I have to completely unload
the four boxes of Sonlight
that was delivered to my door.
Some of these items are Zion's high school items
and other items are for all of my
elementary, up to middle school grades.
One this I don't exactly care for is
all of my cores were mixed up amongst the four boxes.
So my first plan of action was
I needed to get all of the literature
spread out on the table
so I could go through the shipping statement
and organize everything by grade and subject.
It would have been nice if say
all of Zion's high school items came in one box,
the elementary science curriculum in another.
Instead, when I opened up the boxes,
this is my slight Jamerrill complaining moment,
we had the biology curriculum with
elementary art curriculum,
with elementary and high school readers.
It was just kind of a hodgepodge.
So, again, spreading it out on the table
so I can have a go at getting it all organized.
So here is how things are looking
now that I have everything out on the table.
Like I just explained to you,
they were kinda all mixed up amongst the four boxes
which I know they have to ship 'em the best way they can,
not a huge deal.
Just showing you this is the process that I'm going through
getting all of this curriculum laid out.
So I found on my packing slip
what goes with the high school core
and what is for my younger kiddos.
Right now I'm just doing things like
we have various handwriting curriculum in that stack,
I've got our timeline.
So I'm gonna go through the packing list
and get everything spread out for my 11 year old and under
and then, as I said, I will be showing
all of Zion's curriculum laid out in the next video.
So what I'm doing right now is going through,
I figured a good place to start is
I need to get just anything that looks like a science book,
I'm getting that in a stack.
Another thing that I like, that Sonlight did,
is they sent us some packs of extra books.
Like this says, we found these former Sonlight titles
in the warehouse and thought you might enjoy them
our gift to you, enjoy.
If I had the time to sit down and plan
all the perfect books we read
and lay out a wonderful curriculum for the year,
it would be pretty close to Sonlight,
or as I've mentioned,
the years that I haven't ordered Sonlight
I've used the Sonlight catalog reading list for inspiration.
That has helped us build our wonderful home library.
This isn't a sponsored video or anything.
Sonlight doesn't even know who I am
but I am going into my 13th year of homeschooling
and I can say we have not used Sonlight every single year
but we have Sonlight many, many years.
As I'm here organizing all this curriculum,
I just realized something.
I had shared in several comments and with some of you guys,
maybe on Instagram or,
I just know I've chatted about it different places,
I thought our family was doing classical conversations
for something different for 2018, 2019.
However, we're not doing classical conversations this year,
obviously because I just bought a boatload of Sonlight.
The reason is, I was excited about classical conversations,
I thought it would be something fun
with the weekly coop and yada, yada,
all the good classical conversations stuff.
However, when I broke down the meetings,
I think for the younger kids
they would have 24 meetings for the year,
and I think Zion would have about 30,
and then when I looked at all these trips,
and travel plans, and other events,
just things that we will be doing
throughout the next school year
when classical conversations meet,
I could count up at least 10 of
the CC days that we would miss
and if we only have 24 meetings
and we're already missing 10 of 'em
before the year begins.
So after rolling through it all,
after talking to our local CC director
and talking to other friends,
I thought, you know what,
it's just not gonna be worth it if I am realistic
and if we're gonna miss 10 of the CC days.
So that's why we're not doing CC for this coming year.
So here is the table overview
of the crux of our homeschooling for the 2018, 2019 year.
For Naomi, who is age 11, and she will be 12 this fall.
For Gabriel, who just turned nine.
Liam, who is seven.
Amelia, who is five.
And them also Daniel will come along for the ride.
He's three and a half,
he'll be four middle of the school year
and he's gonna love hearing so many of these stories
with our family as well.
Now all of this includes history, Bible,
literature, and language arts.
And I won't be able to get my instructor guides
unpacked and into their binders.
Here's the binders that you get with Songlight.
I won't be able to get these binders created this evening
because we've gotta get packing for our road trip
and I'm gonna do the binders when we get back.
And this year of study is gonna cover
American history from the Civil War
through the late 20th century.
Now I'm going to bust into our daily guide,
just to give you a peak on what
the assignments look like in the day.
I opened to a random week for you
and I'm just gonna give you a look.
So, okay, this is week eight, day 36.
Now, let me also say that we have
taken the summer off this year,
like one of our first full summers off in years and years
because we have homeschooled year-round
for a bazillion years
but our oldest child, baby Jayden,
who's now a man with a beard and a car,
and all of that, (laughing)
Jayden graduated homeschool this year
and you know we have had big adventure going on this summer.
So it was kind of like our extra special
thing we did this summer.
And also, when we thought we would possibly be switching
to a traditional classical conversations schedule.
But anyway, after this summer
we're going back to our gentle year-round homeschooling.
So week eight for us may not be week eight for other people.
Here's a little week overview.
We're gonna actually get started back gently in August,
and we will probably get about two weeks done in August,
and then we'll get two weeks done in September,
based on all kinds of things.
You guys will see soon.
And so then in October we'll be rolling through
with a traditional weekly school schedule.
So here, day 36, so we would have
student reading Mark 4:1-20,
parent reading Matthew 27:1-31,
memorization they would present Psalm 103,
which obviously we must have been
working on that in weeks before.
We would be listening to sing the word
the heavens declare, track one,
listen to that the entire week.
And so this is the Bible portion.
Obviously we add more to that,
there's other books we're gonna be doing.
This will not be the only Bible,
but hey this is a great Bible time.
For history and geography we will be reading
pages 92 through 95 in the
Children's Encyclopedia of American History.
We would be listening to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"
and "Yankee Doodle".
And then here it says if they have a lap book kit,
which I will probably look into this,
for the transcontinental railroad.
You know I've mentioned many times,
we love doing lap books.
The for Caddie Woodlawn we'd be on chapter seven
and for Shades of Gray we would read chapters nine and 10,
and that would be that day for those lessons.
And then you can see on the back,
it gives specific details for the entire week.
Like it even has all of Psalm 103
that we'd be working on memorizing.
It has some little Bible notes to mention.
It has questions.
So, in reference to pages 98, 99,
what happened to many farmers during this time?
Just an inside look at what
some of these core guides look like.
And then for science this year we are doing science E,
which is for grades four through seven
and that focuses on electricity, magnetism, and astronomy.
Here are the books.
We have Electricity and Magnetism,
there is the Science Encyclopedia,
we've got Mysteries and Marvels of Science,
Astronomy and Space, Complete Book of the Microscope.
And then again up here we have Magnetism
and we have Electricity.
And then you'll see in these books
they have lots of additional activities
that go along with the lessons.
Also, we get this kit that has
all the little odds, and ends, and supplies
that we could need.
Very helpful to just have it all in there
so that I don't have to go hunting for paperclips and such.
But I'll show you what it looks like
inside this Sonlight guide.
I turned to week 11.
And so on day 51 we would read pages 82 and 83
in the Science Encyclopedia.
We would do activity sheet questions one through three.
But that gives you an overview
of what it looks like on the inside.
I'm not showing that today
because I'm already gonna have a lot
of organizing to do with all this
but I did get more handwriting noteboks
for several of the children.
I always liked this,
A Reason For Handwriting curriculum.
This is for Amelia, kindergarten workbook.
And so she is going to just be
going through her basic letters,
which is a big deal for her.
A transition workbook,
where half of it is in print
and then half of it is in cursive.
Liam has been begging me to do cursive.
I got this thinking that he could just refresh,
as far as the print.
I also got this cursive book with Liam in mind.
This one for Gabriel.
Something different, homeschool mom inspiration.
You know by watching these vlogs
that I've got a bunch of creative kids
and I know that you have creative kids too.
Well, when I got ordering out curriculum,
I got reading about artistic pursuits
and I thought I could get this for the kids,
and I could get the high school level for Zion,
and we could have like a structured art time.
Besides the fact that they craft and create all the time.
Now of course this says early elementary,
K through three, book one.
However, again, I don't pay too much attention
to what the grade level says
because honestly looking through
this has 36 lessons with projects
and even if we only did one a week
I thought, boy this would be a whole lot of fun.
And honestly, even though I got Zion
his own high school level one,
I thought some of these he could even do with us.
I will also say that for our homeschool year, this year,
year 13, and any year,
it is not gonna go exactly as planned.
And that's because as a homeschool mom
I have the freedom to adapt, and tweak,
and rearrange, and take apart, and add to, or leave alone,
the curriculum based on the needs of our children
and of our family.
Now I'm gonna go through and make a home
for this big pile of homeschool curriculum loot
that I got for this coming school year.
I'm gonna find a home for it
on our new homeschool shelves from Ikea.
And I'm gonna drill down deeper
once we get back from this trip.
But it will feel good to at least
have this stuff on the shelves
and then when I get back I'll do my instructor guide
and pull down the math that each kiddo is doing
and make 'em their own binders.
So here is how it looks on our homeschool bookshelf.
This is, of course, making me rearrange
this whole section of bookshelves,
like how I planned I would need to do anyways.
So I'm going to leave this level of
Sonlight, core E, here on this shelf
and now I'm going to film a video,
which you'll have to be on the lookout for,
of Zion's 10th grade homeschool curriculum.
And he's gonna have some shelves above
and probably in his video I'll show you how
the whole shelf reorganization worked out.
So, thanks so much for following along
with a whole bunch of what we're doing
in our new, upcoming homeschool year.
So I'll see you real soon friends
with another brand new video.
Buh-bye.
