I shared these as a post on facebook, and I really liked how the photos conveyed what books we would be using this year. I think it is hard to conceptualize having a bunch of links and lists. Also, I can’t be on facebook for more than a few days at a time each quarter, so the post isn’t visible unless I create a separate representation.
So, here it is! You can find the full list of everything we will be using here, here, and here. (This is about 80% of everything. Some grammar & math books, etc. not pictured.)
These are also all posted on my Instagram, if you’re interested in additional information.

Most are from her Best of 2020 list, if I am remembering correctly.

Purchased from Home Science Tools. My 6th Grader will use the Biology text as part of her science this year. There are 2-3 chapters about animals. (Yes I realized the scissors were in the frame, but this was the best lighting of the options I took. Did I mention I’m not so great at photography?!?!?!) My 4th grader will also be doing REAL Science 4 Kids Geology & Astronomy at the elementary level. The covers are identical.Various California History & other books, including a few from the Beautiful Feet Early American Enrichment Pack.

The top 2 are for my 1st grader & the rest are for my 6th grader! They arrived today from HardcopyHQ print, highly recommend! Super reasonable turnaround considering this time of the year, also very high quality end product. I found this book as I was ordering some of the other California History books. As the title states, it tells about Black Americans in California during the Gold Rush, with the main focus being on a successful Black merchant during that time. I’m really looking forward to sharing this one with my kids! I may start some kind of campaign to get this written into the California State Social Studies standards, honestly.
That’s nearly everything! I hope it is helpful to see these all listed out.

So excited to see you using Boomerang! Emma was definitely a challenging novel to start off with- with middle school boys, haha! But, we are doing great and I love seeing inspiration from other homeschoolers! GO YOU! 😉
