KINDERGARTEN HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM | Homeschool Curriculum Choices

Published 2021-06-09
I'm so excited to share our homeschool curriculum choices for the school year! I'm starting with our kindergarten homeschool curriculum. I absolutely love researching homeschool curriculum and put a lot of thought into my kindergarten curriculum choices. I've never had to make kindergarten homeschool choices before now, but I'm so excited about homeschooling kindergarten and am optimistic it will be a great year with the kindergarten curriculum I've picked out! I love the idea of a Charlotte Mason kindergarten experience, so you'll see that influence, but I do truly run an eclectic homeschool, so there's a good mix of approaches I'll be taking. I hope you enjoy this kindergarten curriculum review as I share this kindergarten homeschool haul!

I'm Jess, a homeschool mom of two awesome girls. I'm a reluctant homeschooler turned full-blown homeschool convert! Being a homeschool newbie was a huge change, but we love being a homeschooling family! I've embraced my love for Charlotte Mason and running an eclectic homeschool. I'm so excited to join the homeschool community here on YouTube and get to know more homeschoolers out there! Whether you're a fellow homeschooling mom or are just interested in learning more about home education, I'm so glad you're here! I can't wait to share our homeschooling journey as I share my family's experience living, loving, and learning at home. Introduce yourself in the comments so I can say hello!

  • TIP: do not sleep on your library when it comes to curriculum!! I just accidentally discovered that my local library (which is 4 minutes from my house so we're in there almost every day!) has FOUR copies of Draw Write Now, which I was planning to purchase! I never would have dreamed that they had those. After I saw those I started looking around and I was shocked by how many science and math and language curriculum materials they have 😊😊😊
  • @hannarae4311
    I'm an adult with special needs and those emotional literacy books you mentioned in a previous video really caught my attention! Sometimes I find books meant for younger readers help me hold my attention better and explain things in a way better then books written for adults for me.
  • I used Math with Confidence last year with my kindergartener, and my daughter and I both loved it! I loved the gentle, playful lessons that were both simple and thorough.
  • @TheseDays
    Such great choices for kinder! Love how you’re really doing family subjects together too. I have a son going into kindergarten this year too so I love seeing what others are doing. Thanks for sharing Jess!
  • @RootedHomeLife
    Thank you so much for collaborating with us today! Loved seeing your curriculum choices—I am all about learning language arts through literature!!
  • Curriculum choices are always so fun to share and discuss. Thank you for sharing. 🥑 I can tell you will have a fun year exploring what works best for your family. 😊
  • I’ve only just found your channel and it’s been so helpful hearing your thoughts. It seems like we see eye to eye on approaches to home education and I’ll be looking into the curricula you’ve suggested. Great content nicely presented!
  • I’m so glad I just found you! You and I share a deep love of literature. Excited to follow along. I have three daughters, 4, 2, and 6 months. Can’t WAIT to start homeschooling in the Fall!
  • @SummerMeyers
    I've taught three of my kids, (soon to be 4!) with Teach your child to read, and we loved it. We usually stop at lesson 80ish, and transition to short readers. It naturally falls that way. I'm excited for your year!! It looks like you are gonna be great! 🥑🥑💕💕
  • @pjengland286
    Looks like a lot of fun! 🙂 My daughter was ready to read young as well. My biggest encouragement (speaking from experience) for the younger grades is take it slow and follow your kid's ques. I love your literature focus, that was my FAVORITE thing in the younger grades. 🥑
  • We are wild readers over here so I'm glad we found you!! We are doing good and the beautifulath this year 😁
  • @amycrouse8518
    🥑 I am smiling throughout your entire video! You are so me when it comes to curriculum! I am obsessed! Isn't it so fun? We are starting our 13th year homeschooling, and I am still sooo in love with curriculum! 🤗
  • @brittanyolga
    I love watching curriculum choices my middle daughter is only 3 and I am already peeking at curriculum 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Great choices!!! I hope you guys have a great 2nd homeschool year!
  • We did math with confidence and I loved it! My son enjoyed it so much that he would ask to continue to games that the book taught us.
  • @sharolreid1920
    Hi Jess! I’m so excited to be able to homeschool my son this upcoming school year. He is also starting Kindergarten. I’m a former middle school teacher and really value connecting with other teachers and now homeschool parents. Thank you for sharing the curriculum you are using and all of the other helpful information. I’m excited to order some of the books you recommended in your read aloud book video. I look forward to watching more of your videos! Keep shining your light! 🌟🍎
  • 🥑 I love curriculum videos! Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed following your journey so far❤
  • @mjmc4me
    🥑 great video and suggestions. I'm a homeschooling mom of a 5th, 7th, recent graduate and an almost college graduate. I'm thinking about that language through literature curriculum. Looks really thorough. The Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons worked so well for us. I was so worried about teaching my youngest how to read as my other ones had learned how to read before we homeschooled. We really enjoyed it.
  • @nicipadilla7909
    We loved math with confidence and will be moving on to the new first grade book next year
  • @sadiemiller1780
    Really awesome choices! Our girls are in the same grade levels so I've been waiting to see what you picked out!
