    Just dropping in to share. Yesterday my 12-year-old son said (completely unprompted, out of the blue) “Mama, I just love how we are doing school this year. I love that we are all together. And I feel like we are learning so much!” I couldn’t agree more. I feel like we’ve finally found our long-lost curriculum! ❤ We have eight children. Six of them (ages 12, 11, 9, 8, 6, and 4) are participating in Layers of Learning. Dream.Come.True. ?

    Our family is enjoying this family-style curriculum so much! Each unit we are digging into the topics with fun, meaningful activities and learning in a way I wish I had learned growing up. Plus, we are all learning together (kids ages 4-14). Thanks you so much for creating this resource!

    In this unit we especially loved learning about waves. Reading about it, watching a few videos, and then actually playing with waves. The kids still talk about it!
