The cards are lovely with absolutely beautiful artwork. My only complaint is that there isn't a card that accurately reflects the short U vowel sound (urchin does not make the correct short U sound).
This hit all the things I wanted in a unit study. The book report format was easy to use and recipes were great additions.
We have really enjoyed going through the first few weeks!
This is my first full year homeschooling, and I really wanted to connect over the holidays. A Treasured Thanksgiving is the perfect way to do that! We have loved the curriculum, readings, and hands-on crafts. It's been a great lead-up to give the holiday more meaning.
After reviewing multiple options for a Thanksgiving study; I settled on A Treasured Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint! As our first family, Thanksgiving study this was easy to follow. My children (8 and 4) were both engaged in the lessons and highly enjoyed the hands-on activities. I appreciated the incorporation of Scripture and history, ease of use and ability to use it more than once with a variety of books at different reading levels. We will definitely be using Treehouse Schoolhouse for future studies.
I desired to homeschool my children and began to research different curriculums. Nothing really stood out to me as my style of teaching until I stumbled on preschool story. I love that the focus is centered around books and ideas/development relating to the story of the week. I love the hand rhymes. Both my almost 2 year old and 3.5 year old get involved with the hand rhymes, story time and activities related to the story. My daughter has already started to say, “Let’s play peddler!” We also purchased the Nature curriculum. While not everything is applicable to my family at this time, I know we will build on grow and can be easily adapted for ALL ages. The artwork is absolutely stunning. I started with a couple of items and quickly found myself purchasing everything! I’ve already recommended to all my homeschooling friends/family.
I love how much is included. This takes out a lot of the stress of planning something and keeps us in a consistent topic coverage. We tweak things here and there and it’s easy to do so! My entire family is loving this.
The crafts have been fun for my kids and it has really helped us to explore the Thanksgiving story.
Our family has so loved a Treasured Thanksgiving! We used it last year, and my daughter begged to do it again! So now we are now delving deeper with additional books and more about the time period as a whole, doing anything we didn’t get to, etc. Thank you THSH for always putting connection above all! ❤️❤️❤️
This has been so enjoyable to do with my two sons I just started homeschooling (ages 6 and 8). They LOVE the hands-on connections and the information has been easy for them to digest. Definitely worth the investment and am looking forward to A Connected Christmas next month!
I love how this is a quick daily practice! My 3.5 year old loves to circle the items. Because she is still learning, I added her name to trace
Very well thought out. Can’t wait to start this one next month.
My husband loves it the most! If you have been on the fence about purchasing this curriculum, like I was, do it! It has brought joy and delight to our entire family. I’m using it for my five-year-old son who has no interest in school, and every day he is so excited to engage in what we are doing. My three-year-old is enchanted in her own three-year-old way, and my seven-year-old loves being a part of the lessons for her little siblings. It brings me so much peace to have someone take the guess work out of what I should do every day, but what I didn’t expect was how much my husband would love it! He is very skeptical of curriculum, but every day, I kid you not, he has said, “I LOVE what you are doing with the kids.” he is not a words of affirmation kind of guy, so believe me when I say that that is a big deal in our household! By purchasing this, I guarantee your family will grow closer and learn something new daily!
We have 6 kids grades pre-K through 8th and this set really does have something for everyone! And even I’m learning things I never knew!
I am disappointed. I had all the books checked out ready to go. Its been several weeks and nothing showed up. I am way behind now trying to do it without my hard copy and its running into Thanksgiving. Probably wont be able to start now until the new year
Hi Dana,
We understand your disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. Our warehouse shipped the order two days after it was placed. Unfortunately, once it leaves the warehouse and is in the carrier's hands, we have no control over the timing or whether it gets lost. I know the holiday season is a crazy time of the year for carrier services (Amazon, UPS, USPS, etc.).As soon as I received your initial email, I put a replacement order in for you. Please let me know if you have any trouble receiving this replacement!
I was excited to buy this curriculum and have more hands on for science but after a few weeks there are a few things I have to note....
1) The main resource books are pretty dry and include evolution. 2) The Price is high. 3) One of the weeks includes a "Fortune Teller" activity. 4) The use of multiple notebooks for the students. 5) The flow of the curriculum isn't as natural as it feels a bit all over the place.
Final thoughts - I was excited to use this curriculum because I wanted something more hands on for science. It has some great activities for each subject but I should have stopped and not bought the curriculum after I saw and read the main resource books. The books are dry and not living books. I have been trying to sub out living books for each week. I am very disappointed to see that Week 8 "Pumpkin and Corn" includes a FORTUNE TELLER activity. As a Christian homeschooler, I expected THSHN to also exhibit Christian principals in their curriculum because the Founders of THSH are self-proclaimed Christians. I know the author of THSHN - Intermediate wasn't Lindsey but Lisa Burns. But I'm sure the curriculum goes through Lindsey and the whole THSH team for approval. So I was shocked to see a "Fortune Telling" activity be included. We did skip over that activity. Unfortunately, we will be looking to another science resource for our homeschooling.
My kiddos love participating in shaping our days with the rhythm cards. There is less grumbling about transitioning from one activity to another because it's not a surprise and the illustrations are so beautiful and calming.
Very pleased with my purchase! Thank you for this Christmas around the world unit
The program is very cute and grounded in strong literature for children. It hits on key skills for young preschoolers and is easily adapted for older preschoolers with stronger skills. We love it! It is helping me to be more intentional with the time we spend together, focused on growing and learning together instead of checking things off the list. Thank you!
So excited to start our Thanksgiving study! Beautiful content and love the scripture and books that correlate with it!
I’ve looked at SO many planners and always come back to this one each year. It’s simple yet has everything I need to homeschool all 5 children. Helps keep me sane!
I bought the download only since the printed version was not available. Sent it to office max and it was $87 to print in black and white or $104 in color! Couldn’t return it so lost my money on this one. Ended up having to buy a planner at Barnes n Noble for $18. This book looks amazing but recommend only purchasing the physical copy only if available.
