The "Family Man" of curriculum!

We were feeling bored with the same old, same old. We wanted something new and exciting!...what a mistake!
Like a spouse dissatisfied with their partner and chasing after some young, hot thing, we realized our mistake! Young and hot is EXHAUSTING and leaves you feeling somehow wanting. That partner you "oh-so-casually" dumped at the wayside isn't boring, they are faithful, dependable,...emotionally available! And they don't require hours at the gym... er, Cricut machine for an optimum experience!

Not offense to the "young, hot thing", they are someone's soul mate for sure! Just not ours.

Very thorough English curriculum

As an ELA major, I knew I wanted something that thoroughly covered English language arts in all aspects. This hit every mark! Children memorize classic poetry, learn punctuation and capitalization rules, and are taught many other facets of the English language. They did not always love it, especially my son. Lessons are largely auditorily lead by the teacher, and he struggled to pay attention. The lessons make sure to revisit and review concepts regularly to ensure mastery as well.

This is our core grammar text. Yes, it's repetitive. Yes, it's simple and plain. It's also quick, and thorough, and my daughter and I laugh at each other while we chant out the repetitive bits. It's too quick and simple to be boring much - it's straight to the point and done, and your kids will know their stuff. Also, we really enjoy the memory work poems. We love all Susan Wise Bauer's curriculum in our house, actually!
