The Good and The Beautiful Level 3 Unboxing & Initial Review | Homeschool Curriculum Choices 2026

0:00
We have just gotten our Good and the
0:02
Beautiful level three curriculum in the
0:04
mail and I'm super excited to dive in
0:07
with my now 7-year-old son. But before
0:09
we do that, we're going to do a full
0:11
unboxing like we always do. The Good and
0:13
the Beautiful is a perfect curriculum
0:16
for any beginner homeschooled families.
0:18
Even seasoned homeschool families as
0:20
well have loved this curriculum. I've
0:22
been using the Good and the Beautiful
0:24
for 4 years now and I don't see us
0:27
switching anytime soon. If you are on
0:30
the fence about whether or not you
0:32
should try The Good and the Beautiful,
0:33
if you are a beginner homeschool family,
0:36
it's perfect. But also, if you are
0:38
making the switch from a different
0:39
curriculum as well, then I think that
0:42
this would be a pretty good video to
0:44
pretty much just get an overview. If you
0:46
are going into level three with your
0:49
child or maybe you're not sure if your
0:50
child is in level two or level three,
0:52
I'm going to tell you pretty much what
0:54
everything what is covered in this level
0:58
three curriculum, the different
0:59
subjects, the like level of what you can
1:02
expect going into it as well. And if you
1:05
are interested in any full curriculum
1:08
reviews from all the prior years, so
1:10
preschool, pre kindergarten,
1:11
kindergarten, first and second grade,
1:14
levels one and two, then I have full
1:17
curriculum reviews for those on my
1:19
channel. I'll have them linked down
1:20
below for you guys where I do an initial
1:23
unboxing review like I'm doing today.
1:25
And then at the middle of the semester
1:28
and the end of the semester, I do a full
1:30
curriculum review of what we love, what
1:33
we didn't love, and how it went for us
1:36
from everything like the learning and
1:38
everything, the materials, the
1:39
supplementals, as well as the actual
1:42
design of the curriculum like spiral
1:44
method versus the other method of
1:47
learning where you master one subject
1:48
and then move on to the next one. and
1:50
even the actual physical design like of
1:52
the workbooks which have changed over
1:54
the years. They've changed a few
1:55
different things. So, if you are a
1:57
homeschool family, I also have other
1:59
homeschool videos here as well such as
2:01
we were using the Horizon's curriculum a
2:04
few times. We did that preschool for
2:06
threes when my son was 2 and a half. We
2:08
also dibbled and dabbled in for
2:09
kindergarten and maybe first grade as
2:12
well. However, having compared the two,
2:14
I think that the good and the beautiful
2:15
is perfect as an all in one curriculum.
2:19
I feel that it is perfect in that it
2:23
gives you everything you need. There's
2:25
not a lot of prep that goes into it. I
2:28
always like to just read through the
2:30
lessons that we have coming up for that
2:32
week just so that I know in case there's
2:34
something that I feel we could use to
2:37
maybe help the lesson be a little bit
2:39
easier. But aside from that, the actual
2:41
list of supplies that you need to go
2:43
along with this curriculum, it's a very,
2:46
very short. I have seen all of the back
2:48
to school um homeschool hauls and things
2:52
and with the good and the beautiful I
2:54
don't think it's necessary to spend a
2:56
ton of a lot money aside from the
2:57
curriculum itself which is actually
2:59
extremely affordable and if you print it
3:02
yourself it's completely free and so
3:05
aside from the curriculum itself I don't
3:08
see a large amount of money that you
3:10
would end up spending in excess to just
3:12
get supplies you pretty much just need
3:14
to have the basics on hand I was able to
3:17
shop the supplies needed for this
3:19
curriculum under $20 and probably could
3:22
have gotten it for even less than that.
3:26
So, let's dive into the language arts.
3:29
We're going to be going over language
3:30
arts, math, handwriting, the ecosystems
3:34
science unit. We've got some spelling
3:36
and some reading books, as well as some
3:38
math multiplication flashcards, which
3:41
also comes with a math app. And then
3:43
we're also going to be exploring the new
3:44
typing course this year as well. Here is
3:48
your language arts and literature book.
3:50
They have a blue and yellow design for
3:52
level three. Every level has a different
3:55
color course book and everything that's
3:58
covered in this curriculum. It's
4:01
phonics, writing, reading, grammar and
4:03
punctuation, spelling, literature,
4:05
geography, and art. This also comes with
4:09
your spelling practice book as well as
4:12
four [snorts] chapter books and so we'll
4:14
come back to those. It also has an
4:18
answer key that you can download for
4:21
free or you can purchase the physical
4:24
copy if you would prefer that. This
4:27
curriculum does have some teacher read
4:29
aloud, some poetry memorization and some
4:32
unit reviews and assessments. So, in the
4:35
beginning, it tells you everything that
4:36
you need and also gives you some
4:38
information about the course itself on
4:40
these two pages. So, as you can tell
4:43
already just from looking, it's really
4:44
not a ton. There are four units for a
4:48
total of, I believe, 118 lessons. And
4:50
then lesson 119 is your final assessment
4:55
of all the units. And then that some of
4:58
the things doesn't need to be mastered
5:00
that were introduced in the curriculum.
5:02
There are just things that they
5:03
introduce for the upcoming level. So,
5:06
level four, which I love about this
5:08
curriculum. You always feel like you're
5:10
going to the next level pretty much
5:12
prepared. So, again, it comes with the
5:13
four phonics and read together books.
5:16
The read together books. Again, we'll go
5:17
back to that are basically chapter books
5:19
that you and your child read together.
5:21
And then it comes with a spelling
5:22
practice book and the course book
5:24
itself. Then it also includes apps that
5:28
are included with the curriculum. their
5:31
required apps. So, the good and the
5:33
beautiful letter tiles app and the good
5:35
and the beautiful homeschool app. So, we
5:37
have a little learning tablet. We only
5:40
use this tablet for homeschool and then
5:42
sometimes if we're traveling like on the
5:44
plane definitely has come in handy
5:46
because you do need the be the good and
5:48
the beautiful homeschool app which
5:50
normally has like videos which help
5:52
explain certain topics inside the
5:55
curriculum that might be a little bit
5:56
more difficult for a parent to initially
5:58
describe. And then it also has the
6:01
letter tiles app which is great practice
6:03
for spelling. But aside from that, there
6:05
are also fun little learning games in
6:07
there and things like that. It has
6:08
videos for their art and geography
6:11
lessons in there. Different things like
6:13
that. And then in addition, if you want
6:14
to purchase the typing app, you could do
6:19
that separately. I think it's like $35
6:20
for the entire year. tells you basically
6:22
it just includes video lessons which are
6:24
usually optional and can be used in
6:26
place of the lesson or after the lesson
6:27
for more reinforcements and it also
6:30
includes required audio narrations that
6:33
are parts of some of the actual
6:34
independent work sections inside of the
6:37
book. You do not have to use the
6:39
spelling app which is the letter tiles
6:41
app to complete your work. In place of
6:43
the spelling app, you can simply dictate
6:45
like say say out loud the word so the
6:47
child can have them write the words down
6:49
or if you have wooden letter pieces you
6:52
can use those as your letter towels as
6:53
well. We actually have the wooden letter
6:55
pieces. So sometimes if the tablet is
6:58
not charged and it's then we just use
7:00
like wooden letter pieces. I think you
7:02
can get a set for like $5 on Amazon
7:05
maybe. I'll link the one that we have
7:06
below. And it also comes with like three
7:09
boxes, like different levels of spelling
7:11
games where it's a card and it'll leave
7:13
some of the boxes blank and your child
7:15
needs to fill in the spaces to spell out
7:17
the word. They'll give the actual
7:18
spelling on the back of the card and
7:19
there's just a picture. For instance,
7:21
it'll be a picture of a bed, three
7:23
boxes, and it may only have a E in the
7:25
middle or a D at the end. You need to
7:27
add the other letters. Like you can use
7:29
anything, okay? You don't have to use
7:31
the app. When it comes to spelling, it's
7:33
only required for like the audio
7:35
narrations for some of the actual
7:38
lessons inside of the course. Unit one
7:40
goes up to page 88. It has 27
7:45
lessons in unit one. And the things that
7:48
are needed for unit one are just your
7:50
basics. So, pencils, scissors, glue
7:53
stick, tape, and a timing device. Could
7:56
be your smartphone. These are the things
7:58
that you need all across the curriculum.
8:00
pencil, scissors, glue, stick, tape, and
8:02
a timing device. Four things that you
8:06
would have to buy. Um, so you can spend
8:08
$5 and get the things that you need. If
8:11
you go to Walmart during the time that
8:12
they have the sale where it's like 97
8:14
cents or under a dollar to get these
8:16
things, but also said that you should
8:18
have thin tipped markers, any kind, but
8:21
many colors. So, we did get some markers
8:24
as well. For unit one, it also says
8:27
optional you could have mango flavored
8:29
snacks. that tells you exactly what
8:31
lesson that's going to be coming up in
8:32
in case you want to put that on your
8:34
calendar so that you wait until you get
8:38
to that lesson. It's lesson number 19
8:40
where you're going to use mango flavored
8:43
snacks and that's completely optional.
8:46
Okay, unit two, you have an option to
8:49
have rolls, which is interesting. I
8:52
don't know what type of rows. I guess
8:53
we'll scroll through there in the back
8:56
and see what they mean. So that's going
8:57
to be page 187. And then for unit three,
9:00
optional oat cake supplies and toppings.
9:03
So it looks like you're going to be
9:04
doing some baking in this curriculum.
9:07
And then unit four, optional, one sheet
9:09
of colored construction paper, one sheet
9:12
of white card stock. Glad it says that
9:14
because I don't think that I have card
9:16
stock at our Florida apartment where we
9:18
will be doing a bulk of our
9:20
homeschooling. But I have some here. So
9:22
now I know to pack it. So it tells you
9:23
in the beginning everything that you are
9:25
going to need. Now again, this
9:26
curriculum is completely free. You can
9:28
just go on their website, put your email
9:29
in, download it, and print it out. You
9:32
can print it out unit by unit. So you
9:33
can print the first 27 pages out and
9:36
just do that if you want. And you don't
9:38
have to bind it if you don't want to.
9:39
You could literally just get a binder
9:41
itself and just put them inside the
9:44
binder. Instead of having one huge
9:45
binder, you could get four small binders
9:48
and se separated by unit. That's what I
9:50
did. I binded my books into two. Two
9:52
units each at the post office. It was
9:55
$20. I think you could download
9:57
everything. You could do the reading
9:58
books on your learning tablet if you
10:00
want to. Um, and your Kindle app,
10:03
however you want to go about that. So,
10:05
again, unit one has 88 pages and 27
10:11
lessons. So, that will give you an idea
10:13
of how many pages there are per lesson.
10:16
And then, unit 2 goes up from page 31.
10:22
So, at the end of each unit, there's
10:24
going to be a small assessment review.
10:27
Unit two goes up to lesson 59, ends at
10:30
page 195, and then unit 3 goes up to
10:35
lesson 89. So, yeah, there's about 30
10:40
lessons per unit. At the beginning of
10:43
every unit, it gives you an overview all
10:47
the spelling words you're going to be
10:48
practiced as well as the spelling
10:50
patterns or sounds, some of these
10:53
spelling rules, and then it also tells
10:55
you some review words that you are going
10:58
to be reviewing from the prior unit as
11:01
well. So, you could write this stuff on
11:04
your whiteboard. You could put it inside
11:07
your homeschool planner. If there are
11:09
things that you think you maybe want to
11:12
buy supplementals for, things like that,
11:15
you'll have the chance to do that. Let's
11:17
talk about everything that's actually in
11:19
unit one. Okay. So, the subject of a
11:22
sentence, spelling rule C, K or CK
11:27
together, action and being verbs,
11:29
syllable types, lines in art, double
11:32
consonants to closed syllables. A
11:35
sentence needs three things. Spelling
11:37
rule using ch or tch literature study.
11:40
Past, present, and future tenses. Common
11:42
and proper nouns. Prefixes and suffixes.
11:46
Essay workshop. Synonyms and shades of
11:49
meaning. Sentence diagramming. More
11:51
syllable types. What makes a book worth
11:53
reading? Spelling rules.
11:56
Dge or g. Adjectives and adverbs.
11:59
Heteronyms. Poetry. Dictionary. Moral
12:01
literature study essay. Using complete
12:04
sentence. idioms, poetry. So, good stuff
12:07
in unit one. Unit two has commas and a
12:09
series, writing, summary, spelling
12:12
rules, animal poetry, commas and dates,
12:15
capitalization rules, heteron
12:19
plot, revising, word work, earth's
12:23
physical systems, and some more things
12:26
that were in unit one. Unit three has
12:29
irregular past tense. More things from
12:32
the prior units. Pronouns and
12:36
writing poetry forming words with shun.
12:39
So t i o n word work abstract nouns
12:44
more literature studies. So weather
12:47
poetry irregular plural nouns spelling
12:49
rules s or z things that were actually
12:54
in not only the prior units but also the
12:57
prior level. So, a lot of this stuff was
13:00
in level
13:02
two. Some of them was even in level one.
13:04
So, still reviewing some of that stuff
13:06
and mastering them. So, you don't have
13:07
to be worried if you did good and
13:09
beautiful level one, level two, and some
13:11
things your child didn't quite master
13:13
because they'll have more practice in it
13:15
here. There are a few things that
13:16
they'll tell you like your child should
13:18
have mastered these things before
13:19
starting this level, but a lot of it
13:22
it's still being reviewed in here. Pay
13:24
attention to those things that they must
13:26
have mastered already and don't worry
13:28
about the things that they fully have.
13:31
If it tells you that you you don't need
13:33
to have it mastered because that just
13:35
means that they're going to continue
13:36
going over in the you know next
13:38
curriculum level discussions of a book
13:41
report. That's good. Christ calms the
13:45
storm. Yeah. Unit four is typically um
13:48
more review of units 1, 2, and three.
13:51
That is pretty much suggested the types
13:53
of things you're going to see inside of
13:55
the unit. So, aside from the chapter
13:56
books, inside of the actual book, there
13:59
are like reading
14:01
sections in there as well that will
14:04
coincide with some of the lessons. Let's
14:06
look at the actual curriculum itself,
14:08
which is super beautiful. My son is
14:10
taking a liking to these little
14:12
geography journals here where you read
14:14
about an animal, answer the questions,
14:16
write about it for a different part of
14:18
the world. So, I'm just showing you guys
14:21
what some of the stuff pretty much looks
14:23
like. More paragraph writing. The
14:26
curriculum itself is very, very
14:29
beautiful. Sentence diagramming. We did
14:32
some of that on level two,
14:35
unit reviews or assessments.
14:42
Very good. Very good stuff. So, this is
14:44
lesson 64. We got one, two pages. 65 is
14:49
one,
14:51
two. Normally the lessons are about two
14:53
or three pages. Three,
14:57
four. One, two, one, two, three, four.
15:02
Some of them are one page front and back
15:05
or two pages. And then some of them are
15:07
two pages front and back or four pages.
15:10
So anywhere between two to four pages
15:13
per lesson. But it doesn't take a ton of
15:15
time to finish these curriculums. So,
15:17
we'll do a full review of this
15:19
eventually, but I want to show you guys
15:21
really quick the spelling practice book.
15:24
It is definitely an odd shape. I'm not a
15:28
huge fan of the shape of this book
15:31
itself already. It's just I don't like
15:34
how tiny it is. I would prefer a full
15:37
book. However, the curriculum is very
15:40
affordable, not super expensive. I think
15:43
it was $150 for the full and third grade
15:46
curriculum, not including the
15:48
ecosystems.
15:50
So, the language arts, the spelling, the
15:54
four chapter books, the handwriting, the
15:56
math along with the math box, all was
15:59
$147
16:01
in total. And then we added on a few
16:03
extra things and it brought our total to
16:06
about $200. Um, still pretty
16:09
inexpensive. So, this is your spelling
16:12
practice book.
16:14
And
16:16
honestly, I'm wondering if this is
16:18
something that I can print and get it
16:20
fulls size unless my son takes a liking.
16:24
We shall see. I didn't like when I used
16:27
to do that with the handwriting book,
16:29
which is now full size. This is the
16:30
handwriting book. It's full size now,
16:33
which introduces cursive. So you have
16:37
regular print handwriting, but they're
16:39
also now introducing cursive in level
16:42
three. This is the first time that they
16:44
will be starting cursive writing. You
16:46
have picture practice,
16:49
some coloring, and they dive right into
16:52
the cursive. You guys, you got more
16:54
practice writing numbers, putting
16:56
sentences together. Sometimes it's a
16:58
paragraph, little fun pictures and
17:00
things. I'm glad that the handwriting
17:03
it's bigger lines. Do you see what I'm
17:04
saying? They used to have it half the
17:07
size, the handwriting books, but they
17:09
switched when you got to level two to
17:12
full booklets. I prefer that the
17:14
spelling book would be this size as
17:16
well. However, it's not. So, here is
17:20
your quick flip through what the
17:25
handwriting looks like. It looks just
17:26
like a ton of cursive practice is what
17:30
the level three handwriting is pretty
17:34
much focusing on. And then here are the
17:38
four chapter books. We have The Kingdom
17:41
of Kind by Jenny Phillips as well as The
17:45
Journey of Five by Jenny Phillips. We
17:48
have Timothy of the 10th floor. And we
17:51
also have Heather and the Highland Pony
17:54
by Maggie Taylor Inger. So the books are
17:58
very beautiful. They are in full
18:01
color.
18:03
Pages are pretty easy to turn. It tells
18:05
you the vocabulary. And for instance,
18:08
this one has 23 chapters inside of it.
18:12
Tells you some of the principles you're
18:14
going to be practicing and letter
18:15
sounds. And it is one of those books
18:18
that you read together. For instance,
18:19
it'll tell you here is where the student
18:21
is reading and then this orange part is
18:24
where you will read and then your
18:25
student will read. So, this is something
18:27
you guys could read together or replace
18:30
with read alouds. Up to you, but it's
18:32
very, very beautiful. My son loves when
18:37
we do this together, when we read these
18:39
together. So, four chapter books. This
18:41
one has 25 chapters.
18:45
This one has 25 chapters as well.
18:49
So, yep, they all have
18:52
23 to 25 chapters. So, two have 23
18:55
chapters and then two have 25 chapters.
18:59
So, there's that you guys. So, I really
19:01
want to dive into math now with you guys
19:05
because again, this is only supposed to
19:06
be an unboxing out of four review.
19:08
Sometimes I get carried away. So, here
19:10
is our actual math box. Math three. It
19:15
has measuring tape, an array mat, a
19:18
standard dice, a 10-sided dice, two
19:21
volume dice, two game pawns, a set of
19:24
tang and pattern block pieces.
19:27
All right, that's everything that's
19:31
inside of here. Again, if you don't like
19:34
the size of it, you can definitely get
19:36
your own to supplement with. Last year,
19:39
they had like a wooden clock in here.
19:41
wasn't a fan of the size of it. So, we
19:44
used our own wooden clock. Here are
19:46
those little peg people.
19:48
And then your tang shape pieces, your
19:52
dice,
19:56
and your measuring tape. This has like a
19:58
little monthly calendar on there as
20:01
well. Um,
20:03
so that's what's in the math box. We're
20:05
going to throw this away. I have a
20:06
2-year-old and we need to dispose of
20:08
that immediately. And here is the math
20:11
book. The size is pretty much the same
20:14
as the like the thickness same as the
20:17
language arts curriculum. It's just
20:19
horizontal. These are the multiplication
20:21
cards. On the back of them, it tells you
20:24
the answer.
20:27
You can put them inside of a box. So,
20:29
you could purchase like a clear case
20:30
from the dollar store or Walmart, like
20:32
one of those crayon cases for like under
20:35
a dollar is what I paid for mine. or you
20:37
could hole punch them and put them on a
20:39
binder ring. You could go that route,
20:42
whatever is best for you. The curriculum
20:44
itself, very beautiful.
20:47
Um, let's see. It has all your
20:49
references in the beginning. So, it has
20:51
metric conversions. It has formulas for
20:54
area, perimeter, and volume. It has your
20:57
temperatures, time conversions, order of
21:00
operations,
21:02
which they still I'm happy to hear
21:03
they're still using. Please excuse my
21:05
dear aunt Sally. US customary
21:08
conversions. It also has 2D shapes, 3D
21:11
shapes, skip counting, all of that here.
21:14
Geometry definitions, point line, ray,
21:17
line, segment, all of that stuff
21:19
referenced here. And then it also has
21:22
four units as well. Each unit, just like
21:26
the prior ones, will have about
21:30
30 lessons each. It goes through numbers
21:34
through the 10,000s.
21:37
Addition with regrouping, review
21:39
rounding to the nearest 10 or 100.
21:41
Multiplications part one, two, and
21:42
three. Subtraction with regrouping.
21:45
Story problems with addition and
21:47
subtraction. Two-step story problems.
21:49
Multiplication telling time to the
21:51
nearest minute. Measuring and estimating
21:53
using inches and centimeters. Measuring
21:55
length in inches, feet, yards, and
21:57
miles. Multiplying by 100, 10,000.
22:00
Introduction to metric units. Time half
22:03
and quarter hour intervals. Estimating
22:06
distance in miles or kilometers.
22:07
Measuring to the half inch. Elapsed
22:09
time. Writing numbers to the 100,000
22:11
gallons. Quartz pints and cups. Rounding
22:14
to the nearest dollar. Fractions.
22:17
Gallons. Reading a pictoraph and tally
22:19
chart. Liters and milliliters. Adding
22:21
and subtracting rounded amounts of
22:24
money. Creating bar graphs. Reflectional
22:27
symmetry. tables and bar graphs using a
22:29
thermometer, vin diagrams, counting and
22:32
adding money and time. Five and 10
22:35
minutes intervals, comparing and
22:37
ordering fractions, ounces, pounds, and
22:40
tons. Mixed numbers, perimeter, perfect
22:43
squares, tablespoons, and teaspoons,
22:46
threedigit and fourdigit multiplication
22:49
numbers by one digit without regrouping.
22:52
Common denominators.
22:54
Oh, a ton of things in here. You guys
22:57
write acute and obtuse angles, types of
23:00
lines rounding to any place value, order
23:03
of operations and multiplying money,
23:05
congruence and similar shapes,
23:06
converting units, geometric solids,
23:10
coordinate plane, Roman numerals, area
23:13
and perimeter, multiplication, division,
23:16
fact family. All right, you guys, that's
23:18
everything units 1 through 4 covered
23:21
inside of here. The lessons have 15
23:27
has one, two pages. 16 has one, two,
23:32
three, four pages. So, just like
23:35
language art, it's going to be anywhere
23:36
from two to four pages. One thing I can
23:39
say, they really put a lot of like stuff
23:43
in one lesson. And I'm not exactly sure
23:45
that I love that they have a ton of
23:48
stuff like on one page like this. I'm
23:50
not a fan of the actual layout of the
23:53
page. Like how it has three columns for
23:56
instance here, two columns there. I'm
23:59
not a fan of that. There are yard art
24:01
sticks in the back of the book here that
24:04
you can punch out. There are timetelling
24:06
clocks in the back that you can punch
24:08
out. Area tiles. They go with the actual
24:11
lessons, I'm believing. So, they do have
24:13
extra supplementals that you're going to
24:15
need in the back. different activities,
24:18
things like that that you can use for
24:19
some of the lessons. Not this was not a
24:22
thing in the prior math that we did,
24:26
level one or two. So, that's good. I
24:28
haven't really seen anything like this
24:29
since we were doing like kindergarten,
24:31
preschool, but the math curriculum
24:34
itself is beautiful as always. It looks
24:37
very much like level two and level one.
24:42
Also, we have the ecosystem unit study.
24:45
So before we had the little hands for
24:47
hearts and home which was grades 1
24:49
through three science unit study. Now we
24:52
are moving on to the 3 through eight
24:54
level science unit study. Um so you get
24:58
your actual course book here and then
25:01
you get the student journal as well. You
25:04
have to purchase them separate. You'll
25:06
either get the grades 3 through six
25:08
student journal or the 7 through 8
25:10
student journal. And then addition to
25:12
that we also purchased these two books
25:14
together. The two books does come in a
25:15
set. So you get ecosystems in our
25:17
backyard. Elf owl and his ecosystem. So
25:20
two readaloud books or like little study
25:22
books. So for instance, this this book
25:24
is super cute. I think my son is going
25:26
to love this one. Unit systems, I mean
25:30
ecosystem in our backyard. He's going to
25:32
love it. I think the elf owl one
25:38
is a more
25:43
of like a southwestern
25:46
desert area things like that. Let's look
25:49
through the table of contents for the
25:51
ecosystems book. There are nine lessons
25:56
so you could complete multiple science
25:59
units within one school year. They do
26:02
give you plenty of options to choose
26:04
from. So that's really really great. Or
26:06
you can do these summer only. It's
26:08
completely up to you. They recommend
26:10
that you do four per year. Introduction
26:12
to ecology, biotic and abiotic factors,
26:16
levels of organization, the
26:17
interconnection of producers and
26:19
consumers, energy pyramids and tropic
26:22
levels, interactions of living things,
26:25
terrestrial biomes, aquatic biomes,
26:28
ecological succession.
26:30
tells you the supplies you're going to
26:31
need. You're going to need an eighth
26:34
teaspoon, measuring spoon, a small
26:36
amount of honey for lesson number one.
26:38
For lesson two, you're going to need
26:39
household items to display like a sun
26:41
hat, a scarf, sunglasses, garden gloves,
26:43
mittens, and umbrella. Green grapes are
26:45
optional. Small pretzel sticks. So,
26:48
these unit studies are definitely a
26:50
little bit more hands-on. Uh, let's see.
26:53
Silverware, cookie sheet, uncooked rice,
26:57
crayons, and colored pencils. So, you
26:59
definitely want to check the lesson
27:01
before you begin to see what you would
27:03
actually be needing. It's looking like
27:05
the things that you would need isn't
27:07
terrible, except lesson eight, grass
27:09
seed is something that we would have
27:11
here up north in our Michigan home, but
27:14
down south, we won't just have grass
27:16
seed laying around. Luckily, that's
27:18
optional. Different things that you
27:19
need. Their unit studies are definitely
27:21
beautiful. We have their safety unit
27:23
study as well, and this one looks
27:25
similar to it. You have your vocabulary
27:26
words that you can pin to a bulletin
27:28
board.
27:43
The lessons themselves are pretty short
27:46
and fun. They do make for lots of
27:49
discussion, lots of questions, so be
27:51
prepared for that. But they are also
27:54
very very beautiful. I remember we were
27:56
doing a unit study in my whenever we do
27:58
unit studies my son has a ton of
28:00
question has biblical creation cards in
28:02
here and God said let the waters bring
28:04
forth abundantly the moving creature
28:06
that hath life and foul that may fly
28:09
above the earth in the open firmament of
28:11
heaven and God created great wells and
28:13
every living creature that moveth. He
28:15
blessed him saying be fruitful and
28:16
multiply and fill the waters in the
28:18
season. Let fowl multiply in the earth.
28:20
So it definitely talks about creation,
28:23
how the world was created, giving about
28:24
biblical reference and I love that
28:28
because lots of science unit only talks
28:31
about scientific creation and things
28:33
like so. Yeah, just a little flip
28:35
through. My son's going to love this.
28:37
And then this is the student journal
28:39
that goes with it.
28:49
also very very beautiful you guys.
28:51
Honestly, for the prices of these,
28:54
they're really great. I think the unit
28:56
studies are like $15$20 or so. They have
28:59
ecosystems in your backyard book. I love
29:03
how beautiful this book is as well. Look
29:06
at that. It's absolutely gorgeous.
29:11
So, so pretty.
29:13
And then we have Elf Owl and his
29:17
ecosystem.
29:20
So pretty.
29:27
Yeah. So, we're going to have lots of
29:29
lots of lots of fun with that. So, we're
29:32
going to have a lot of fun with that,
29:34
you guys. Now, in a separate video, I'm
29:35
going to be, if you are interested,
29:36
sharing the learning plan that I put
29:39
together for my 2-year-old as well. And
29:42
again, I'm going to be doing a full
29:43
curriculum review for the Level Two Good
29:45
and the Beautiful. I have them linked
29:46
down below in the description box for
29:48
you guys if you are interested in seeing
29:50
about that as well. Um then we'll do
29:53
like a homeschool plan. Maybe show you
29:55
guys some of the actual like things that
29:57
we're setting up as we get into
29:59
homeschool like his supplies and you
30:01
know other little stuff like that.
30:03
However, this is going to conclude our
30:05
initial just unboxing. Again, it's not
30:08
meant to be a thorough review of the
30:10
curriculum itself. We're going to dive
30:11
in before we give that. just gives you
30:13
an unboxing look, a quick look at what
30:16
we have here. So, I hope that this video
30:18
was helpful for you guys. If you're a
30:20
homeschool family, give this video a
30:22
thumbs up and subscribe and stick
30:23
around. I would love for you to do that.
30:25
Otherwise, that's going to be all for
30:27
today's video and I will see you guys in
30:28
the next one. Happy homeschooling.
