Built for how families teach

Homeschool curriculum that does the prep for you.

Open and go

Read the lesson once, about 10 minutes, and teach. Every step is written out, with words you can read aloud. No teaching background needed.

Teach all your kids at once

One purchase covers every child in your family. The guides are yours to keep and reuse.

Stuff you already have

Lessons use mostly household items. Each course lists everything up front, so you can gather it in one trip around the kitchen.

Help when it goes sideways

Every lesson has an "If something goes wrong" list: a nervous child, an experiment that fizzles, a kid who finishes early.

Safety notes built in

Allergy checks and safety steps sit right inside each lesson, not buried at the back.

Records done for you

A workbook page for every lesson and a completion certificate. The Home Year pack adds a Records Pack for your annual progress report.

Peek inside a lesson

This is what you open on a Tuesday night.

Lesson 1 of Bug and Butterfly Detectives, Grades K-2. Every lesson in every course follows the same pattern.

Your child will learn

  • What makes an insect: 6 legs, 3 body parts, antennae
  • How to tell insects from spiders, worms and snails
  • How to record what they see with drawings and describing words

Before you start, 10 min: check for sting allergies and pick a hunt spot with leaves, soil or bark.

Step by step, about 40 min

  1. 1Warm up4 min
  2. 2Golden Rules5 min
  3. 3The bug hunt15 min
  4. 4Bug games8 min
  5. 5Show and tell4 min
  6. 6Notebook page4 min

What to say

"Creepy, crawly, buzzy, flying, today we'll be bug-detective spying."

If something goes wrong

  • Few bugs found: move the hunt to under a leaf, a log, or mulch.
  • Your child is scared: watch from a distance or through the cup only.
  • Finishes early: "Compare 2 bugs. What's DIFFERENT?"

Most courses end with your child teaching the family what they learned: a science fair, a puppet show, a gallery walk or a pitch.
