I am a homeschool mother of 6. I don't have everything figured out, but I can help you with the experience I do have.Please join me as Christian mothers who seek answers through prayer in study in raising our children in a Godly way.
This year we changed our history curriculum to Biblioplan. We have done The Good and the Beautiful, Notgrass, and now Biblioplan. I have also researched so many different history curriculums trying to decide which one fits our family best. Here is my honest review of Biblioplan plan history.
I love that the components of Biblioplan are in full color from the text book to the craft ideas. Color is something that I really appreciate in curriculum. To add to that, I love how many different components there are. There is a book filled with games, crafts, and recipes that are totally optional. I love that there are lots of ideas each week because there’s bound to be one that fits our family. Even more, there’s an optional timeline book, a coloring book, and read aloud books for different ages you can buy too which are again optional. There is even a book of discussion questions you can buy to check your children’s understanding. As you can see, this curriculum has so much to offer. You might ask, are there things I don’t like about Biblioplan.
If I had to pick something I didn’t like, it would be that the family text book I’m reading to my kids is too much for my youngest children. That would be easily solved by buying a text book from Biblioplan for younger ages. The one we’re using works for the entire family. If I could change anything it would be to read a simplified entertaining story to my children about the material and have lesson extensions for the older children. Will this draw back keep me from purchasing from Biblioplan next year?
I haven’t decided if I’m going to use Biblioplan next year. We have learned so much this year especially about world religions. We probably will end up using it next year. I might get the easier text book to read to my younger kids separately from my oldest child.
