In this video, I’m sharing our homeschool curriculum choices for the upcoming school year, including our plans for 5th grade, 3rd grade, and 1st grade.
As a Christian homeschool mom, I try to choose curriculum that supports both academic growth and discipleship. We have absolutely loved using The Good and the Beautiful language arts in our home for many years. It has helped nurture a love for reading and provided a gentle, literature-rich foundation in the early elementary years.
However, as we prepare our rising 5th grader for middle school, I realized we needed to focus more on structured writing, grammar mastery, and independent learning skills. In this video, I explain why we’re making adjustments to our language arts plan and how I’m thinking about middle school preparation in upper elementary.
