*HONEST* CURRICULUM REVIEW of Around the World w/ Picture Books Part 1 | Beautiful Feet Books | Tips

I agree with pretty much everything you said. But we also love ATW because we use it as a spine, not as a comprehensive study. We have been camped in China for about 2 months lol. And we have read over 20 books, just for China, and we have added other documentaries and other science related activities. Another recommendation- we have been using Jamie Martin's Give Your Child the World (which is a book of booklists broken down by the region of the world). It gives good read aloud suggestions.

I love that you use this as your spine for your kindergarten.❤️thank you for this review.

This was very useful for me. I hadn't thought about doing a contry notebook and it's such a good idea. My kids love learning geography, so that will be good to add. Thanks for sharing.

This review was SO helpful! I have found that I’m very similar in teaching style to you and what you do with your kids, which is so helpful when I want a review of something I’m interested in doing with them 😊 Thanks for all the tips. I start this soon with my kiddos and I’ll be prepping before we get started to make sure we are getting the most out of the curriculum.

Nice review! We have used their Early American History, and it has been a good experience. I am definitely keeping my eye on these units!

I really like to use Beautiful Feet book lists alongside Notgrass History because I like to bring in some picture books instead of just novels for the Read Alouds. 😊 I was thinking about doing this around Kindergarten/1st grade when my littles get there. 😊 I love literature based curricula!❤ Thanks for sharing this!

When we got this curriculum, i did not expect so much extra I'd have to do. So far im finding a lot of read alouds on YouTube and i search for similar books at the library. Its way more broad than i thought it was going to be. But we are giving the around the world and us history one a try!

We are using BF Season's Afield and we really like it. I've been considering this one for next year because we also ise FIAR and they use some of the same books.

I concur! We loved this study, but I borrowed 3-6 books from the library for each country to add depth. My son especially enjoyed the true/historical books like Manjiro and Emmanuel’s Dream, and I appreciated the folk tales. (Lon Po Po is such a better version of Red Riding Hood!)

Doing U.S history this year with a combo of sonlight and notgrass 50 states. Originally was planning on doing sonlight C next year but now i'm thinking about this instead 😂

I really appreciate your thoughts on this. I think that it’s interesting but I’ll probably make my own curriculum like this as opposed to buying one

How much time have you been spending on each country so far? About to dive in next week starting with China! 💗💗

I buy the sonlight guide and books separately!!! I love to add stuff to literature curriculum including books!!! With sequence one we are watching videos for geography!!!our library is woke!!! We have tons of books on Australia but we live in Australia!!! My main geography take seats are mapping and culture!!! We lived in the U.K. and the British believe their is one world dull culture and it’s the British culture so I don’t want my kids to be like that!!! I love that this is a foundation to build on!!! I watched a Tv show with my oldest and bought out a book that we had read to discuss it more after seeing what we saw on the Tv show!!!

So I bought this and all the books. But I love curriculum and good books 😂 RANDOM... my little one said she wants to go to China and get on a boat to see the yellow river 😂 I saw a few reviews on Sonlight level K language arts. Which one you like best? I just bought Sonlight science level k and I love it. My little one is on Lesson 30 AAR. Do you think it's alot? All about reading Beatiful feet Sonlight Science K Sonlight Lit K Math with confidence
