These are wonderful cards that can be used alone, or along with other Peaceful Press Studies. As we have been embracing more of the liturgical year, I appreciate these resources for our family to learn about some well-known historical figures!
I love the recipes and how cozy and simple they are to create. Exactly what our family needed!
I’ve used many of the Peaceful Press curriculums, but I think this one may be my favorite. So many of these books were new to me, but I found myself (along with my 7 and 9 year
old) loving the stories and the corresponding lessons.
I’m in love with the beautiful layout the simplicity of the curriculum. While it is simple it is still very thorough and a lot of great learning. There are books that I never knew about and fell in love with just in the first week and so excited to continue the rest of the kindergarten year. My daughter is loving it and as a first time mom and first time homeschooling mom I feel blessed to have found the Peaceful Press Thank you for all you have done to make such wonderful curriculum and helpful information.
We're all cradle Catholics who didn't grow up memorizing verses so I'd like to get better at it myself while instilling it in our kids. This curriculum sets one up for success by dedicating each week to a particular verse and its corresponding Gospel story and artwork (plus related activities).
Because we're bilingual, I also like that I don't have to keep everything in English. Instead, I note the verse + Gospel reading in my (Peaceful Press) Homeschool Planner for the following week and bookmark them on our Kids Spanish-language Bible. Easy peasy!
Lastly, and I don't think this was done on purpose because the Pepitos are Protestant* and we start our school year in January.. I found the Gospel stories to match the ones read at Mass--at least for the early weeks. As someone who enjoys listening to Catholic podcasts (like Sunday School, which explains said Gospel readings, and Fr. Mike Schmit's Sunday Homilies!), I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed to have come across this coincidence.
One suggestion:: Please consider making the files easier to print by offering both ONE big file and THREE zipped folders incl. The Parent Guide, the Printables, and the Artwork. This way, one can, for instance, print and bind *only* the PG, print the Printables as needed (or skip if not needed), and either print each Art piece as needed *or* send them all to have them affordably printed on cardboard elsewhere so they can become sturdier pieces the family can save for later picture studies or playroom/homeschool art that can be hung up and preserved for a long time. There ARE free apps that let us successfully separate PDFs (we used Stirling for making our own "three" files), but it' be neat and easier if this was by default.
