7th / 8th Grade Pieced-together Homeschool Curriculum, Middle School Books. You DON'T need a box!

NOTE!! COMPLETE BOOK LIST BELOW! I do update it as we add books throughout the year.

Back by popular demand! This video was made at the request of some followers in regards to our "curriculum" for 7th/8th grade this year. We are very eclectic homeschoolers. These are our "everyday" books & workbooks for our core subjects, but learning is always enhanced with additional books, materials, online resources, documentaries, hands-on activities (experiments, cooking, etc.) and - of course - field trips! We have never used a "box." We piece together our own materials. We test our daughter every year and make sure that she is at or above grade level at all times. We do add some new materials midyear.

Awesome material. I'm in my 4th year of homeschooling and I also peice together curriculum for my kids. I like being able to teach what I want and what I think that they should be learning. Enjoyed seeing all the material that you are using. It gave me great ideas and new material to include for my kids as well.

I got my kiddo a grade 2 Who Was social studies workbook for this year. It looks like a fun supplement to other social studies stuff we're doing.

We are big "Who Was" books fans. We love to do history through literature. DK books are wonderful. Love seeing all your books. God bless

[animalcrzed]

I love every one of your resources! Amazing! Thank you!

I love how you pieced together everything. I believe in this although every now and then I buy a "boxed curriculum". Well Done Video!

[TheChan]

We love who’s who and I’m glad to see someone use the Spanish books we have decided to go with for our 7th grader. I’d love to see a video on how you used those and what you thought about them. Just subscribed. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and happy to be able to connect here 😊

The visual history book is BEAUTIFUL! Would be a great supplement to our Geography unit. Thanks for sharing.

[sarahd]

[LoveThemWell]

Love this!! I like the Everything you need books

[StarKirtman]

Do all of these workbooks/books have answer keys with them so you can know if they are doing the work correctly coming up with the correct answers? And where do you buy these at? Sorry, I'm just interested in them for the future for my son.
Liked and subscribed to your channel

When you have multiple books for each subject how do you plan out what you do each day?

[JahanzaibShinwari]

Can we get online PDF of grade 8th books?

[momandthebros]

Hi, do the books that you show here for each subject, last your whole school year? Thanks!
