I really like the M.B. Synge series for a history spine. The stories are so engaging and short, but they also have very elevated vocabulary.

Oh I’ve never heard of that series! Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll check it out!

I really appreciate your videos. I am grandma homeschooling my 9 year old granddaughter. Her parents are blind. She is going into fourth grade. I purchased AGF, but really like your info. This is the first year trying CM. I like how you combine it with classical ( which I do not know much about each of those). The dad adds to the lessons. I also help them with other things . I do not know much about science or history. Do you read everything before they do? I know she should be reading some things independently and just wondering how to know if narrations are correct when she does it independently. I am usually gone all day to their house. I am choosing not to be overwhelmed, but it seems to creeping in. Any tips? How long does it take you to get everything done in the day? Will you share a link for BOC, Story of the World, and M.B. Synge ?

Great questions! I would like to answer your questions in a video (anonymous of course), as answering here would be very long, and probably not detailed enough. But to start, I highly recommend the book called “The Well-Trained Mind, A Guide to Classical Education at Home” by Susan Wise Bauer. She gives detailed tips on how to teach each subject in with a classical approach. I think you could still use AGF and apply a few classical concepts! Don’t stress about it! Sometimes it’s the small things that can make a big difference! I will try to post this video soon!
