"I’m a second year homeschooling mom, first time creating a curriculum on my own. We are LOVING the family units. We are using them for our 1st, 4th, and 6th graders, and our 4 year old is tagging along.
They are just so well put together: they’re engaging, fun, and long enough to gain great information but short enough to keep interest at all levels.
I love the differentiation for the different grade levels of our kids, too. It’s empowering to see them recognize they all might be learning the same material, but they have different levels of understanding to go along with the knowledge."

"I’ve eyed and looked through so many reptile units. I feel so many science units are information overload and really over the heads of kids.
Your unit gets to the point and is in a language kids will actually connect with! AND it’s not full of write a paragraph, write, write, write and more writing!"

Which unit will you explore first?
"Just wanted to share with you how much fun we’re having with the human body unit study. My 3 yo is loving the YouTube videos and asks to watch ‘body’ movies several times a day!
My 5 yo was able to correct his 5 yo buddy from down the street about what your rib cage is and what organ it protects and what its function is!! He’s really good at math also and loves the word problems—even getting the multiplication and division questions!
My 13 yo is my teaching assistant this year and she’s even enjoying them! (Although, don’t tell her that - she’s too cool for this little kids stuff 🙄😄😂)"
