In reply to Alyssa Burmeister. I did not continue A Gentle Feast. It was an okay fit for the year we needed it, but it isn't our ideal, so when I had more time to get back to our usual, I did. If I didn't have time to piece our curriculum together again, I wouldn't hesitate to use AGF again.

Hi! Checking in 5 years later to see if you’ve continued AGF or if you’ve moved on?

It’s funny that you mentioned the google docs as a negative because i love that aspect of AGF. That’s in my “pro” column because i like being able to edit the document then print my edited document. IT looks much cleaner than a “strike through and write beside” type thing.

In reply to Angie. A Gentle Feast provides a schedule that is fixed, but adaptable. The lesson plans will tell you that for week 27, here is what your child will read on 3 days this week. You plug that into whichever days work best for you. It does make it very simple to plan— if you follow the plan. If you get off on a subject, it can be difficult to figure out how to work it back in. I did already plan our next year. Since I’ll have more time, I’m going back to planning it all out myself using The Well Trained Mind for a guide. I did buy all four of the Gentle Feast booklists, which I plan to keep an eye on for future planning options.

Hi Lindsey- I really enjoyed your review. I’ve been on the fence about whether AGF is a good fit for my family and this was really helpful to get a better idea of how this curriculum might actually help me. Like you, I lean a bit towards the classical side and want to provide enough of a challenge for my kiddos. However, realistically I’ve had to come to terms dealing with a disorganized household and a toddler mean my daily plans always seem to fail- having everything laid out sounds heavenly. How much scheduling and framework does AGF provide? I’d love to hear more about what you are doing next year, what you are keeping from AGF, and what you do to plan/organize your year. Thanks,

Thank you so much for the review! Some of the concerns you had (especially the history) are the same that I am thinking when I look at the samples. Sticking with my own choices and other CM resources that I pull from. Blessings!
