In this video I’m sharing our 8th grade homeschool curriculum picks for the 2025–2026 school year. I’m Morgan (Life of Tillmans), and I’m walking you through what I’m planning for my middle schooler—what I’m excited about, what I’m still keeping flexible, and how I’m thinking through the jump into more “upper level” work while still keeping things doable for our home. If you like hearing the why behind the picks (not just a list), this one is for you. I also mention a few specific resources we’re using alongside our core plans, like a literature study for The Door of No Return, Oh Freedom for U.S. History, and Texas Instruments calculator tutorials (because if you’ve ever stared at a TI-84 like… “okay now what,” you get it). And as always, I’m sharing with my real-life homeschool mom lens—what works for our faith-led, plant-based family life, what I’m watching for as we plan, and where I’m leaving room for adjustments once the year actually starts.
