*As a <\/em>BookShark<\/em><\/a> Ambassador, I received the level 1 curriculum in exchange for sharing our journey with you. All opinions are my own.*<\/em><\/p>\n

\"first<\/figure>\n

We finished our 2nd year of homeschool this week. I remember how scary it felt when we first jumped onto the homeschool train last year. I was so nervous and really struggled with the fact that I wasn\u2019t sure I would be able to teach my son. But, he thrived in Kindergarten. So, first grade seemed much less daunting.<\/p>\n

I was able to begin this school year without the fear and anxiety that I experienced before Kindergarten, because I knew BookShark<\/a> had my back. The Instructor\u2019s Guide has become my new best friend. And though I\u2019m able to pick and choose things that fit best with our family- it\u2019s right there to guide me along. It helps me feel equipped to teach, even when I don\u2019t feel confident.<\/p>\n

Level 1<\/h4>\n
\"level
We really loved this A Child\u2019s History of the World Book! It told pieces of history in a storybook sort of way that we both really enjoyed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This year we did the Intro to World History with our level 1 curriculum<\/a>\u2013 and I was amazed how in detail we went. I learned things that I don\u2019t ever remember learning in school- so it was just as fun to teach for me. My son totally got a kick out of the fact that we were learning things together- and I think it made him like it that much more. I can\u2019t wait to delve deeper in the History in level 2!<\/p>\n

Books Galore!<\/h4>\n

Like I\u2019ve mentioned at least 10 timed before- we love all of the books that come with the curriculum<\/a>. We\u2019ve fallen in love with so many books together- and I\u2019ve gotten to share some of my childhood favorite characters with my little boy. We\u2019ve even expanded on some of the books and read more in the series because we enjoyed them so much. If BookShark<\/a> doesn\u2019t turn your whole family into readers- I don\u2019t know what will! My husband has even gotten me to read to them in the car because he has enjoyed the stories so much. <\/p>\n

\"reading\"<\/figure>\n

The funny thing is- I think this year went even faster than last year. Because the teaching and learning has been so fun- it didn\u2019t feel like work. Each day was a new adventure. And now that we\u2019re 2 years into this homeschooling journey, and I have more confidence- it went even smoother. <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t realize how much I would love sharing this journey with you. It has become part of who I am. I have literally been walking through Target, messaging back and forth with a Mom who was nervous about beginning her homeschool journey. I get dm\u2019s and emails every single week from parents asking about BookShark and why we love it so much. It has been awesome sharing my thoughts and experience with my readers. And I cannot wait to see where this crazy homeschool journey takes us next.<\/p>\n

Because of the fear in the beginning and the uncertainty, I wasn\u2019t sure we would be all-in homeschoolers. But, after another successful year, I know we\u2019re in it for the long haul!<\/p>\n

And BookShark <\/a>keeps adding on even more fun activities and lapbooks to really increase your hands on experiences and make learning even more fun- so now is the time to jump on the homeschool bandwagon if you\u2019ve been mulling it over. Summer goes by fast<\/em>!<\/p>\n

As always- I\u2019m always here to answer your questions! {Don\u2019t forget to check out how I use my homeschool planner <\/a>and a tour of our first grade homeschool room<\/a>.}<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
