DO A LESSON WITH US | Gather ‘Round Homeschool | Farming & Food

✨Hey mama friend! Today I’m taking you along to homeschool with us! We are doing a lesson from the Farming and Food Unit from Gather ‘Round Homeschool!

I am so excited because this video is also a collaboration with my friend Gina @lifewithginab Homeschool!

I’ll go first:
I’m Christina. I’m married to my best friend, Seth, we have 5 kids (ages 1, 3, 6, 10, & 14), and love our family, Jesus, and adventuring together.

We are passionate about being counter culture, including alternatives to traditional schooling. I was a public high school English teacher, turned homeschooling mom, turned middle school English teacher at a small Christian school. I’m hybrid homeschooling + Christian-schooling our five kids. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a culture that will always be part of our family culture!

I love the Charlotte Mason education approach, and many others, but I’d say I’m more of an eclectic teacher—mixing the different aspects of homeschool styles that I love—living books, literature-based learning, Montessori, and so much more!

Just as I brought what I learned through teaching into homeschooling, I am so excited to bring what I’ve learned homeschooling back into teaching!

Whether you are considering homeschooling, new to homeschooling, considering alternative ways to educate your child, or just looking for some encouragement and inspiration for your motherhood journey, I hope you feel welcome and encouraged here 🤍

I love how your little ones are playing right at your feet. Farming and Food is on our list for the future.

This was so refreshing to see. Our days often look like this and sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one who has life going on while we’re homeschooling. Thank you 😊

[lifewithginab]

This unit looks so great and interesting! Jackson did such a great job on drawing the cow! He's such an artist!

[RockSimmer-galGod]

A busy bin for my pre schooler would be an awesome idea for gather round as she goes into a different room to play when we do gather round together!!! We also love to break and talk about the lesson within the lesson!!! We definitely have real life happening as well!!! Jackson‘s cow is awesome!!!

Love this video! It’s so interesting to see how each family uses Gather Round! This was the first unit we did this school year and we loved it so so much. So much good information. Thanks for sharing💜

[virginialeonard]

It is really helpful for new moms the way you explain the lessons

[FaithandFun-wq]

[lifewithginab]

[robinhill]

[kleigrace]

We Love Gather Round 🥰 Studying Antarctica 🇦🇶 now and will be studying Farming and Food next 🥰 Thank you for this❣️

[Olgaleigh]

I can't thank you enough for this video. It was funny, serious, so full of God and so fun to get a peek into your school days! I have this unit in mind for next year and this video got me all excited for it!!

[stephaniejones]

Love this! Thank you for sharing!! We are looking into Gather round and this was super helpful! Love it!!

[leahgpearl]

If you haven't already could you possible do a video based on "How I plan my kids homeschool days" Where you include how you pick the curriculum they are going to use, how to choose what days they are doing what, etc. (if you already have a video similar could you please tell me the title ) thanks !!

[heatherlambert]

This was so helpful! Thank you for filming
Also, I loved how you have your kids participate in reading with you. I’ll be starting Gather Round for the first time and this video makes me excited to start!

Just wanted to mention to you that your channel truly has inspired me so much and given me so much encouragement! Your homeschool content is one of mynfavorites i follow - i love your ideas! i am going to be starting with Gather 'Round Oceans Unit with my kids Feb 26th! I also watched your DIY oceans unit study which is where i got some good ideas - Thank you for that!

I did have a technical question for you. I noticed on this video in order to open a video link with the unit you had to go to the app to acces that. Is there a way where when you download the teachers guide on an ipad lets say - can you just click on the links in the teachers guides and get to the video that way directly?

[rachaelfanti]

I love this! How many units do you guys usually choose a year?

[keribovkoon]

Hi! I've been following you for a while. I would love to know how you schedule everything in, or if you schedule. Since you do so many different things at the same time, from day to day how do you plan it all?

[luminero]

Love it! I wondering how do you balance school activities/homework with the units/activities you do at home? My kids go to school but I'm trying to incorporate units/activities at home. Thank you for sharing!!

[annahofer]

Thank you so much for sharing! I'm considering starting Gather Round and this was very helpful! So, I have a random question lol what kind of couch do you have? Where did you get it? I'm praying and hoping for a couch this year, the one I have is not very comfy, and yours looks like exactly what I'm looking for!!!

Hi. I would love any tips for a new homeschool mom of a kindergartener or your 6 year old. How do you teach her? I also didnt go to school in this country so i don't know how to build a study or where to even start. Any tips?
