Bookish links- January 2025

January new releases I'm excited about: The Happy Healthy Plant-based Cookbook // Uniquely You 

I always love seeing everyone's favorite reads of the previous year! Here are a few, many which contain secular reads... Janssen and her team // The Unlikely Homeschool // From Our Bookshelf // Chantel Reads All Day // Amy's storygraphs are so fun!!

How cute are Stacy's seasonal e-reader covers?

I looked at so many planners this year! I always like for each day to have 2 sections (one for homeschool + meal and other home management planning, one for general To-Do s). I prefer a column layout but it isn't mandatory. I love habit trackers and goal/reflection pages but can live without them. I looked at probably 50+ planners in person and ultimately picked this one. So far it's working quite well for me, though I do wish it had a column layout.

I lost all my homeschool supplies to the house. Here's what we're starting over with this month: Math // Story of the World, volume 3 // Typing // Handwriting // The English Grammar Workbook 1 and 2 // The Spelling Teacher's Lesson a Day // Writing Fabulous Sentences and Paragraphs. // buddy reads, read-alouds, and independent reading // Spanish for Gringos // Geography workbook for the first grader // also doing map work and using library materials to finish our last science unit since I couldn't justify paying full price with less than half of the unit left
