In this curriculum brain dump, I’m finally at the point where I can start making real decisions for our 2025–26 homeschool year, and I’m talking through what I’m considering for my 3rd, 7th, and 8th graders. I share the options I’m weighing for math and ELA, plus the other pieces that always matter when I’m building a full-year plan—what’s actually working in our home, what feels like too much, and what I think will fit each girl best as they grow. This is very much a “come think with me” video. I’m walking you through my thought process, what I’m leaning toward, and what I’m still not totally sure about yet. If you’re also planning for multiple grade levels, I hope this helps you see how I balance skill-building with real life—keeping things doable, consistent, and aligned with our faith-led family rhythms. And I really do want you to share your thoughts as you watch, because hearing what’s working for other homeschool moms helps me narrow things down too.
