I start with Abeka Language 3 and then move to Language A, B,and C.

You’re welcome! Thanks you for reaching out! 🙂
I don’t use an online music program. My husband plays guitar, I play the piano, and we both love to sing, so that is pretty much our music curriculum. We also hire a piano teacher. (I could teach them piano, but it’s nice to outsource some things.) I like for all of our kids to take piano because I think it is a music education itself. Once you play piano, you can move on to any other instrument easily.

Thank you for all your blogpost and YouTube videos. It’s a great inspiration! I was wondering if how do you teach music in your house? If you use something online which program is it and are you satisfied? Thank you again for all that you share!

I will check those out thank you!

You’re welcome! Sounds like you have a good plan and rhythm going! I love to hear when moms of littles are doing short lessons and not feeling like they have to do everything. That’s a lesson I learned the hard way!
I really like Child’s History of the World by Virgil Hillyer for a simple chronological read for young kids. The first couple of chapters have some evolution themes, so I start at chapter 5. Also, Ingri and Edgar D’Aulaire picture books are beautiful and perfect for young ages, but they aren’t chronological. I hope that gives some ideas!

Oh good! Glad to hear!

The link worked! It was just my phone that couldnt open it well I guess. Thanks

Thank You Sherri, I appreciate you taking the time to share your tried and true resources. We have 2 schooling now (8yo & 6yo)) with a toddler underfoot, hoping more may come if God wills! I have been trying to get our footing; I am adding new things little by little as I feel that we can handle. As of now, we do 10-15 minutes of LA/Reading and 10-15mins of a math lesson, some independent copy work and Piano; with reading picture books to cover the rest! I want to add history using very short, simple, living books that are good for a short daily read with young, wiggly boys and toddler. I really want to be able to find this sort that I can use chronologically. Any suggestions? I would like to do the Veritas Press once my boys get another year or two older. Thank you!

Great question!
In the past have I have started in the beginning with ancient Egypt. Since our oldest is 18, we have gone through all five years twice and are on our 3rd time around. (Not all the kids, obviously…after the 5th year they are done and move on to other history.) In the future, however, I will probably not do ancient Egypt, but start right at Greece and Rome because that first year is a lot of Bible that they already get from other reading that we do. I think it depends how much Bible they get in other areas. If you use it partially as a Bible curriculum, Ancient Egypt is great. If you do other Bible reading, it might feel like too much doubled up.

We buy the course and the whole family does the same year. It’s easier for us to all be doing the same thing. Veritas Press has been a huge help for me with having a large family, especially with our wide age span. They kids have really learned a lot and it has relieved me to know they are learning through an excellent program that doesn’t take time away from me that I need to be spending on other needs.
