As a new homeschooling family we took a lot of trial and error to find what worked for us. This is EXACTLY what we needed. It is the perfect gentle introduction to school. The books, activities, and music are the fun components we needed to make school feel like home and to bring joyful moments into every day of school! The book choices are beautiful and by focusing on one book of the week I really feel like it’s encouraging deep and lasting understanding of reading comprehension and memory. It’s so easy to incorporate into family learning too which has made it easier to create beautiful moments with both of my kids instead of trying to wrangle a toddler while teaching my older one. I’m literally telling all of my friends about this curriculum!
The content is beautiful and thoughtful with excellent themes that keep my kids engaged.
Extremely fast at responding to my email. I accidentally put the wrong email address and later needed to buy the hard copy due to my struggles with printing everything myself. I highly recommend getting the hard copy of the nature study because it’s way better quality for a great price. If I had printed it on cheap quality paper at the print shop just the loose sheets would have cost me more than what I payed for the hard copy on quality paper all ready to go. If you can’t print at home and need to get it printed elsewhere then just save yourself from the trouble and buy the whole bundle hard copy. You’ll be happy you did!
We love reading the book then coming to the guide for fun activities and thoughtful questions!
We purchased the morning menu a few years ago, so I love this option to keep the calendar current for our little ones. We love all the products we have gotten from Treehouse Schoolhouse!
We have finished Charlotte’s Web & are starting My Father’s Dragon on Monday. The lessons are well thought out & help a “homeschooling grandmother” plan lessons & there are plenty of activities to do along the way. :)
I absolutely love this curriculum. Its broke down so simple and it has everything explained what u need for the next lessons. I highly recommend it.
This is everything I would want to create for my kids but totally didn’t have to because I found rooted!
As we started on the first week, we are looking at and noticing all the small things and learning their purpose. It inspires ideas and expands the mind. Such a simple and perfect resource! We love it!!!
I’ve used Exploring Nature with Children for many years now (and I do still love it!). But only a week in to using the autumn guide for primary years and I am already loving the diversity of learning opportunities and the retention of information I am seeing take place in my children. We are using the guide as a major part of our together time with my 10, 7, and 4 year old. The addition of notebooking alone has already transformed not only how we nature study but how we interact with science and history as well. When I was a classroom teacher “theme” was something I really emphasized for many reasons, and I have kept those seasonal anchors as I became a homeschool mom. This guide reflects that personal value of mine very well, giving us plenty of opportunities to connect with what’s happening around us every week and grounding us in the present. (I’ve also spent many years creating my own products for personal use as well as to sell and I can say the file organization is very nicely done!) Well done friend :)
I purchased for my 4 and 6 year old to do together along with some other curriculum and this is so sweet and fun! I have 5 older kids too so this is the little one’s very own school and they feel so special learning this own songs and engaging in their stories. I love it!
This book study is helping my family and I dig a bit deeper into the book and connect with the story in more ways that I would have been able to do othewise.
Lots of planners have a bunch of "extras" that I never used. This planner is simply laid out and is not intimidating to use. It allows me to write down exactly what I want in a way that makes sense for my family.
This book study was great! My kids really enjoyed the activities and the questions.
My kids love these! This is a perfect addition to our morning time!
This has been a great addition to our read aloud so far! We use the activities to keep hands busy while we read. I appreciate the introduction to writing a book report! We are able to cater to our kids different abilities.
We've done the first connected Christmas for several years and and loved it. This year we are excited to use volume two!
I have been loving using this to organize our homeschool year! The attendance, field trip and extracurricular trackers are such a nice added feature to remind myself of all we do each year!
I'm about to start preschool with my oldest, and it's lovely to have a beautiful curriculum piece that has multimodal learning. We'll see how my kid likes it! I especially appreciate that it is visually simple, clear, and wiry realistic looking images.
I ordered this so we could use it this Christmas. I’ve heard great things from other homeschool mom friends and we are looking forward to walking through it. In reviewing the curriculum I can tell it’s going to create a great opportunity for us to focus on the true meaning of Christmas while also managing my little learners at the same time!
We have really enjoyed this curriculum!
I'm very pleased with these sheets. These will be a great addition to our preschool rhythm.
I purchased the physical copy of the cards and they are so lovely. The nice thick paper will hold up over time and the illustrations are lovely. Since our homeschool area is in our great room (which is the kitchen/dining/living room all together), these will look lovely to display in our home and not look overly "kid-ish" to have hanging around.
We are now in week two of the Treehouse Story School and we are loving it! My son enjoys the books and activities that we do together. The layout is easy to understand and use and the activities are great for my 4 year old son.
My only piece of feedback is that I bout the physical copy (since my printer doesn't work well at all). I would have hoped for the book to have a more substantial feeling cover and back. The paper used for the front and back cover feels a bit flimsy. Something thicker would be nice so that I have more confidence in the book holding up over time.
