Never let your schooling interrupt your education.

Weekend giveaway: Oak Meadow

//  by 

This giveaway has ended. Thanks for entering!

Welcome to another weekend giveaway, sponsored this week by Oak Meadow.

In their own words:

Curriculum packages—dubbed “curriculum in a box” or “boxed curriculum”—offer homeschooling parents a complete curriculum for a full year. Some parents feel they have struck gold when they find a curriculum package that suits their child.

Many other homeschoolers, however, think that curriculum packages are too confining, too rigid. They think, “Curriculum in a box? That’s not for creative types like us.”

Think again.

Oak Meadow was designed with flexibility at its core. Offering uniquely creative, open-choice assignments, Oak Meadow encourages learners of all types to become engaged and enthusiastic.

When students are studying Ben Franklin, for instance, they might make a quill pen, vegetable ink, and parchment paper before writing a speech to the Continental Congress.

When learning about animal classification systems, they spend time digging in the garden for specimens, drawing what was discovered, and then researching the similarities and differences between them. Choosing varied, hands-on experiences makes learning more relevant, not to mention much more fun.

With an eye towards the artistic and imaginative, Oak Meadow understands that there are many ways that arts, handwork, woodworking, and other crafts can enrich a homeschooling program. If students are given a choice of hands-on projects, this dynamic experiential learning will help them develop skills that will enhance their academic studies.

Why spend time with endless worksheets or doing hours of desk work when the same learning goals can be accomplished in a way that is more memorable and more meaningful? Taking the lessons from page to practical application can make a huge difference.

Letting students explore a subject from many angles keeps learning fresh and lively, and gives students experience in creative problem solving, critical thinking, and making meaningful connections across disciplines.

Curriculum in a box that encourages thinking outside the box—that’s the Oak Meadow way.

Today’s winner will receive one complete Oak Meadow homeschooling curriculum package in your choice of grade PreK-8! (That’s a value of $120-$420!) 

Each curriculum package includes everything you need for an entire school year, including lesson plans, assignments, activities, and readings. This is a wonderful opportunity to craft a comprehensive and imaginative education for your child!

    I would love to win this! I have been writing my own curriculum for years. But I’ll be honest, sometimes I’d like an “out of the box” curriculum! I’ve never had one.

  7. ShannonStreger

    I would LOVE to win this! I have been looking for the right curriculum to do but the choices have become overwhelming at times. Thank you for doing this giveaway!

  52. Lisa J.

    My son is ready for the flexible routine and structure a curriculum like Oak Meadow would provide (he’s four). I’ve been dying to get my hands on the Oak Meadow curriculum! My son is definitely not a worksheet kind of kid — he needs hands-on learning!

  53. Jody W.

    We’ve used a boxed curriculum before, but never one with so many great hands-on options – looks really great for my ‘wiggly’ 7-year-old boy!

  58. Kate

    I’ve struggled to find the right curriculum, Oak Meadows looks great. Thanks for the giveaway, hope to win!

    Just began my 1st year of homeschool. I could greatly benefit from this! Thank you for such a great give away!

  67. Jordan

    We are using the Kindergarten and Second Grade curriculum this year and love it! This would be fantastic for next year. Thanks for the chance.

  68. Shawne

    We LOVE Oak Meadow! I’ve used it with my oldest son since 5th grade (he’s now homeschooling high school). And now our youngest son is old enough to use it….We were planning to buy the Kindergarten curriculum after the new year, but winning a copy would be even better. 🙂

    Thanks! And Happy Thanksgiving week!

  69. Kristen

    I have been wanting to try Oak Meadow for SOOO long. Would love to win this for my soon to be kindergartner!

  70. Marie

    Wow, that looks awesome, I’ll have to look into Oak Meadow, I’m a beginning homeschool mom of 4 (6yrs, 4yrs, 2yrs, and one still inside). It’s a little overwhelming at this point, but I’m sure we’ll figure it out 🙂

  71. Stephanie

    Would love to try it. We are taking a free form approach for now but I think my eldest would enjoy a packaged curriculum.

  72. MHowe

    I would love to see and use this curriculum for a year. I have two pre-schoolers who I have begun to home-school, but we may need something a bit more formal when my older one is kindergarten age next year.

  73. Michelle

    I am interested in this curriculum. I homeschool my 6 year old son, a first grader who struggles to sit still, so more hands activities might be what we need in a curriculum.

  74. Pamela

    I would just love to win the Kindergarten package for next year! I am really interested in Oak Meadow and how it might work for my daughter. Thanks for the chance!

  76. Jen K

    This curriculum looks like it would match my daughter’s learning style perfectly! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

    I recently left my job and started my own business so I could home school my son. I’m new to homeschooling and would love to have something beneficial like this!

  79. Jennie Murphy

    How have I not heard of Oak Meadow before. My son who struggles with and who we have chosen not to medicate will be in 4th grade and this sounds like what we’ve been looking for. Hoping we will be able to try it! It would be a true blessing to win it.

  82. Michelle N.

    We are a military family living overseas and have just begun homeschooling this year. This looks like a fabulous curriculum! Would love to give it a try!

  90. Amanda Dean

    I am looking for something a little different for next year, and this could be just the thing we need!

  92. Kim

    The thing I struggle with most is finding good, comprehensive curriculum and not drive myself crazy planning on my own. I would love this giveaway and have it all there for me. 🙂
    Kim’s latest post: Autumn Cookie Fun!

  93. Ana Mansilla

    I live in Mexico and have never tired any curriculum, this world be a good chance to try one. My kids are 7 and 5 so it’s time to be a little bit more formal don’t You think

  94. Julia

    I’m ready to use something like Oak Meadow in homeschooling our 11 year old daughter who was adopted out of foster care. She learns differently from my older children and this looks like a good fit.

  96. Rhonda

    I can’t wait to read more about this curriculum! It sounds great. I’m so glad I came across your website also. I’ve found so many ideas and suggestions that have encouraged me. Thanks

  98. DarcyR

    This sounds like the perfect curriculum for my daughter! Thank you so much for the chance to win! 🙂

  99. Jennifer D.

    I have always been leery of spending a bundle on boxed curriculum, because of cost and because of commitment. I don’t want to be told what to teach my children, if that’s the case I’ll send them to school! Boxed curriculum because of the cost of most of them, requires some kind of commitment that you’ll actually use it–don’t want to waste your money. I have always been leery, I want to be the boss of what my child is doing not some book author who doesn’t know or doesn’t care. BUT, it seems that EVERYBODY is doing it. And it does sound tempting to have someone else do all the planning and gathering rather then me having to comb through several books, and websites. So I wonder based on the review I just read about Oak Meadow if it would be a good curriculum for me. Guess I’ll have to see if I win.

  101. Megan

    I have been reading over the past year about boxed curriculum as we are hesitant, but Oak Meadow keeps coming into view. It would be a good match for our style of learning. Thank you for this amazing opportunity.

  103. Jen

    We have been using Oak Meadow for the past two years and absolutely love it!
    Reasons #1: It addresses the whole child and layers multiple levels of learning simultaneously. Reason #2: It gives enough flexibility for the student and family while still (in my opinion) covers all essential growth/ academic/ development goals. My daughter (5th grade) commented the other day – that she now (vs. 5 years of prior public school) – has time and space to think about ideas and subjects in between tasks and is seeing how interrelated they are. I have glowing children and this means the world to me!! Thank you Oak Meadow for putting out fantastic product!
    Sincerely, Jen

  104. Ashly

    Our family has just made the choice to homeschool. One thing I am worried about is financially being able to provide great curriculum. This curriculum would be great for our family and would help us not struggle financially.

  105. Nicole Morrison

    This would be amazing for my children! We have been looking into Oak Meadow and wanted to try it out for next year! Have heard nothing but good things about it.

  107. kerry eady

    i’ve had a knot in my tummy about NEXT FALL as my daughter will be returning to homeschooling after being at a Waldorf school. I think this is exactly what I need!

  108. Leslie Connor

    I have been homeschooling for six years, and the best year by far was when I used Oak Meadow. It was such a good time for my boys. I would love to use the whole series for my girls (2 and 5) as they grow! Thanks for the opportunity!

  111. Sarah G

    What an incredible giveaway. I definitely plan to use some type of curriculum when we begin homeschooling. Oak Meadow seems like a great mix of structure and flexibility : )
    Sarah G’s latest post: September 2012

  114. Rayne Cater

    For two years I have had my eye on this curriculum. For me it is a whole child curriculum, not just focusing on one part but The mind, body, and spirit of the child. How ever I have yet to be able to afford it.

  117. Loretta Longo

    What an amazing opportunity, thank you! As an avid follower of your blog, and a fan of Oak Meadow on Facebook, I’m delighted to see this “partnership”!

  140. April

    This sounds like exactly what we have been looking for. Since we are new to homeschooling I feel the need for a curriculum to help guide us even if it is used only as a safety net. Oak Meadow sounds like a great fit for my hands on kids.

    Thank you for this opportunity!

    We have just made the move to homeschooling; literally just two weeks ago. I am finding that having a “boxed” curriculum may help alleviate some of the anxiety that I feel as I try to fumble through all of the homeschool information online. Whew!! Oak Meadow sounds as though it would give me the opportunity to teach valuable lessons while giving my daughter a creative and active way of learning. Thank you for this opportunity! God Bless!!

  158. Cindy

  258. Emaida Krvaric

    With all the indoctrination of the public school system, we’ve decided that our son will be homeschooled. This would be a great tool to guide me in educating him. He’ll be going to Kinder.

  286. Jenny Smith

    Really love the look of the oak meadow curriculum choices. Such a wonderful, well rounded feeling, not to mention the variety of ways available for parents to work with it all! Super!

    • Jessica

      This is our second year of homeschool ed. I have yet to visit a curriculum fair, too intimidated by all the choices! However I have followed you from pretty much from the beginning of our hs journey and really trust your opinion. This sounds like what I try to do on my own, but rarely accomplish! I will be “schooling” K, 2nd and 5th next year. This would be blessing! Thank you!

  290. Raechelle Edmiston-Cyr

    We love Oak Meadow. We are in our 3rd year using it with my 8 & 10 year old boys, and it is the perfect way to entice active children to learn. I would love to win next year’s curriculum.

  291. Margaret Hutchinson

    We’re doing OM Kindergarten this year and look forward to OM 1st grade for next year. Sure would be nice to win:)

  301. Andrea Mulder-Slater

    I’ve read The Heart of Learning and am convinced that Oak Meadow’s K program will be perfect for us. I love the hands-on approach to learning. It’s as though Oak Meadow was tailor-made for my inquisitive daughter. I’m also thrilled to have discovered the Simple Homeschool blog. Thanks!

  303. Margaret Braun

    Hi, we will soon start oak meadow pre kindergarten. Thank you for your quality product and giveaway!

  305. Julie Herrington

    Thanks for the opportunity! I would love to take a break from what we’re doing and try Oak Meadow!

  309. Missy Coffer

    Oh this curriculum sounds so great. I would love to use it. This is our first year at homeschooling.

  314. Audrey Rixford

    We are currently doing Oak Meadow Kindergarten and love to share how much we love this program! My daughter loves that she has a “special” tree that we watch throughout the seasons and gets to collect different things from nature for her seasons table! Thank you OM!

  315. Erica

    Curriculum has always been a hard decision for us. Thus would be a great opportunity to try something new!!

  322. Carol

    We are new to homeschooling this year and would LOVE a chance to win the Oak Meadow curriculum. I’m also really enjoying the blog – thank you!

  326. Cj

    This is great! I would enjoy a few free grades, considering I teach five children but I will gladly be grateful for one!

  331. Sheena H.

    I am lucky to have “struck gold” with Oak Meadow for my first time homeschooling. Some may think it’s weird that I’m a teacher and I homeschool my son, but it works! He loves it, and he Oak Meadow is great for the way he learns! He’s blazing through the K curriculum; I could really use a 1st grade!

  333. Loana

    I really like the idea of kids choosing their own hands on activities and the flexibility of the Oak Meadow curriculum 🙂

  336. Kristen

    This looks fantastic! I am, in an ideal world, hoping to homeschool… Rally wanting to. But lately boarding school seems like a nice option. Having something with enough structure that it would keep us n track, but that would also leave room for a more leisurely approach (esp at the preschool age) sounds wonderful. Thank you.

  339. Jennifer Work

    This sounds amazing would love to check this program out for my little guy who will be 5 in February. Thanks for the giveaway.

  342. Sarah C.

    We really want to try this curriculum with our kids. It looks like it would fit our philosophy nicely, and I think our kids would enjoy learning with it.

    • Dena Cirpili

      I have been putting together Waldorf lesson plans for my 4th graders and 1st grader by reading blogs. I would love to actually own a curriculum where the material is all tied together.

  352. Carol F in New Mexico

    This looks like wonderful curriculum! I think it would make for a fun and exciting 2nd grade year for my son. Thanks for the give-away! Would be such a blessing to win this.

  353. Bethany

    My son just turned 3 and I have been researching what materials I want for homeschooling in the next couple of years. This sounds great!

  355. Corinne ryan

    Love Oak meadow, their classics books and emphasis on nature are a great way to homeschool. Thanks for the giveaway.

  356. Rachel

    I love Oak Meadow but it is currently not in my budget to purchase a curriculum. It would mean the world to me to win a kindergarten pack.

  357. Nicole Luff

    Oh, how I love Oak Meadow!! From the incredible curiculum and crafts, to the overall philosophy… As a mom of three boys, this particular curiculum is the perfect fit!! Good luck everyone!!!

  358. Alaina

    Oak Meadow sounds very refreshing. Would love to try the K curriculum with my inquisitive and curious son!

  369. Cheryl

    I would love to win this for my youngest daughter. I think it would be a wonderful match for her relaxed learning style, and would work well with her dyslexic tendencies.

    Blessings!

  372. Tina

    I so need this right now! My 5th grade daughter’s “school” work hasn’t been getting the attention it deserves because my main focus has been transferring my 7th grade unschooled son to a more tradition school schedule, with a very curious and energetic 2 year old added to the mix. I’ve been looking for something for my daughter that has already been planned out and that we can afford to buy now with the holidays fast approaching. I know my daughter would absolutely love this curriculum!!

  376. Lorna B.

    This sounds wonderful! Hands-on learning, not endless worksheets. That’s what my daughter needs! I would be so blessed to win this!

  383. Jen Sweetman

    Have been debating using their material… We do a mix of things now, would be a nice way to see if it’s a fit for my active learner

  384. Tammi S.

    I would be thrilled to try OM grade 6!! I’ve always been interested in seeing what they have for the older grades.

  386. Kira Long

    I’m new to homeschooling and this is one I have not heard of but sounds amazing! My children would thrive using this curriculum. Thanks for the giveaway!

  390. Emily Van de Ven

    We’re new homeschoolers! Have heard great things an would love to try this with my almost five year old. Thanks!

  393. Simone

    We are in Kindergarten now and not overly impressed, thinking of Homeschooling for the other half of the year to try it out. This opportunity would be fantastic as it was your curriculum that I was wanting to try!

  402. Michele Villano

    I am in love with everything about Oak Meadow. I really can’t wait to have some of the curriculum!

  404. Vanessa

    I’ve really wanted to try Oak Meadow for my 2nd and 4th grade boys, but haven’t been able to afford it yet.

  406. Heather Gutierrez

    I’m always looking for something good to teach my two kids .. Usually I cannot afford what I would really like, soo I take advantage of used book sales and second hand books from Craigslist. Would love to try this one! Thanks! 🙂

    I would be ecstatic to win this Oak Meadow curriculum! I’m struggling now with homeschool but am too determined and will not give up!!

    Wow! What an incredibly generous givewaway! The curriculum looks fabulous. Thanks for giving us a chance to win.

  426. G.

    I’d love to try Oak Meadow next year for my kiddos. Up until this year we’ve used a boxed curriculum and I really liked it and didn’t find it rigid at all, in fact we switched to a more “a la carte” curriculum this year and think it is more rigid. This sounds like something my kids would really enjoy!
    G.’s latest post: Moved In…and Resting.

  428. Holly

    Great give away. Oak Meadow is an awesome curriculum. We used to live in their area of VT before moving back to NY (pre-kid). Would love to own some of it! 🙂

    I would love to try the kindergarten cir. I just started following your blog. I love it so much!

  444. Claire Levesque

    I am looking forward to seeing what the kindergarten syllabus has in store for for us! My son is loving the beeswax block crayons, water color painting, circle time, and puppet shows this year… And most importantly, the playing!

  448. Jess McNally

    I have done the oak meadow curriculum and love it! We really wanted to use it this year but just could not afford it! Good luck to all!!

  449. Christa

    We are in our second year of homeschooling and it is a journey unlike any other I have taken. One of the reasons we pulled our children out of the school district is to give them a rounder and more focused life education. We are still adjusting our curriculum and look for new ways to enhance our homeschool quite often. We would love the opportunity to dive into Oak Meadow!

  452. Kelly Loughry

    Here’s hoping for this one! How we would appreciate and love receiving this! Thanks for offering as a giveaway. 🙂

  454. Stephanie

    This curriculum sounds very exciting, I am all about thinking out of the box! I would love to have this for my oldest daughter who is going to be starting Kindergarten.

  458. Kristin thomas

    Wow! What a wonderful giveaway! I would love to win fifth grade curriculum. My daughter is having a lot of struggles in school, so are embarking on homeschooling. Having this curriculum would be such a wonderful help to me… Because I feel like I am drowning.

  464. Marta Suarez

    This will be a great opportunity and guidance into our homeschooling. Sending it out into the universe:)

  466. Julie

    I don’t usually use a full curriculum but have considered Oak Meadow so many times. Thanks for the chance to win.

  470. Charlotte Konopka

    This is our first year of home-schooling and we are Loving every min of it. We chose Oak Meadows because it fit my son’s interest. My son is in 5th grade. He loves all the experiments in science. I can see a huge improvement in this writing and reading!! Would love do home school again! Winning the sixth grade curriculum would be awesome for our family!

  472. holly

    Wow! How exciting! This is our second year homeschooling and I could really use this. We are struggling with our current curriculum and have been thinking about your products.

  473. Asmaa C

    We love Oak Meadow, too! My son is using 2nd grade, and truly enjoys it. I would love to win 3rd grade. Thanks for having this give-away.

  475. Rebecca

    What a wonderful opportunity. This curriculum looks like it would offer so much to my children. Thank you!

  476. Yvette Berg

    Just this week I discovered Oak Meadow, having found its link in one of your posts. Reading through the site, example lessons and materials I was touched by this concept. Because of many reasons this was the first curriculum I ever considered to really be suitable for us. So the rest of the week I spent fighting the dilemma in my head if we should invest in it or try to keep up the homeschooling for a few dollars a year. The price was the only thing that scared me off, so this give away is just excellent. Thank you for it and of course I hope to win this great price :). 5 little ones would already still benefit from it and God knows how many more to come :). Children are such a blessing and so is homeschooling!

  480. Michele Fiorillo

    This is our first year homeschooling. We love everything Oak Meadow stands for. We are just regrouping from hurricane Sandy and a Nor’easter. This would be a wonderful and much treasured surprise. Good luck to everyone. We are all deserving!

  481. Misty

    My little one will be turning 3 soon. In a couple years i would love to have him go thru the Kindergarten level.

  482. Alycia

    We have been loving the Oak Meadow kindergarten curriculum and would love to get the first grade curriculum. We found Oak Meadow through your website a year ago and it has made our first year of homeachooling a wonderful experience. Thanks for this giveaway!

  484. Jessica Lee

    My 7yr old son would love this curriculum! He loves anything Waldorf inspired and is currently doing a weekly handcraft course. Thank you oak meadow!!

  486. Tracy Smith

    I have decided to homeschool my son Noah for Middle School starting next year, I love Oak Meadow! We can’t wait to get started with this awesome curriculum! I also LOVE your Facebook page!

  488. grace

    Never really use this curriculum but would like to give it a try, thank you for giving us the chance to win this.

  489. Alisha

    I will be homeschooling 3 kiddos next year and would certainly put this giveaway to good use as I need grade 5 for my oldest! Thank you for making this offer available.

  494. Athena

    We are a military family overseas. The schooling choices here have all but forced us into homeschooling. It has been a wonderful experience thus far for our oldest son, but he is moving through the curriculum very quickly. Right now finances are very tight for us. Winning this would be a true blessing for us. Good luck to all and blessings to everyone in this wonderful holiday season.

  498. Heather A

    This would be so fantastic!! This is our first year HSing, Kindergarten, and I have a hodge podge of curriculum I made up with Oak Meadow philosophy as the foundation. I was able to find the K syllabus 2nd hand, but winning this for our first grade curriculum would be so awesome. Thanks so much for offering this!! Good luck to everyone!

  503. Jennifer

    Jamie,

    I am currently reading Secrets of a Sucessful Homeschool Mom. You and I have a very similar Homeschooling Philosophy. I am very confident that Oak Meadows would work beautifully for us. I would love to win.

    Jen

  509. Lilian

    I’m a first time homeschooler of 2 very active boys! I would love to have one of these! I think it would greatly help me & my boys!

  511. Amanda Brighton

    We’ve never used Oak Meadow, but would love to give it a try. I’m fairly new to homeschooling with only about a year and a half under my belt. I’m still researching about all the different curriculum out there.

  512. Trudy

    Oh blimey, a lovely and generous giveaway! We are just starting on this journey and to have this wonderful guidance would be bliss..! Trudy

  517. Ashley W.

    My son is really not enjoying doing school the way we are – I would love to win this and try something new!

  523. Eliza G.

    We are 1st time homeschoolers this year & had considered this curriculum since things have not been going well for us so far. It would be so great to win this! Thanks

  527. Erica Burden

    Having tried to construct my own lessons/activities for the kids, I can say with full confidence that we have to have a boxed curriculum. Our busy lifestyle doesn’t allow for anything else. Unfortunately, this cost a great deal of money, so winning one would help us out quite a bit.

  530. Molly L

    Would really LOVE to win! having a new OM curriculum for next year means I can spend more money on art supplies and fun science stuff!
    Pick me!

  536. Emily

    Anytime there is a Oak Meadow giveaway, I cross my fingers! I would really like to win one of these curriculum sets.

  538. Maricris

    I would love the chance to win. My daughter seems to work well with curriculum sets and this will give us the opportunity to try Oak Meadow. Thank You!

  541. Brenna

    I’ve been trying to choose between this an another for kindergarten next year I would love to be able to try it out!

  547. Rita

    Oh, how lovely to think of winning something like this. We are thinking a curriculum change is in our near future, curriculum in a box is not working as well as I had hoped. Fingers crossed. And best wishes to the winner 🙂
    Rita’s latest post: Thankfulness

  549. Lauryan Ritzlmayr

    We started homeschooling just this year. It’s been a tough year getting out of the whole school mindset and dealing with the fall-out school brought to our oldest son. In South Africa home schooling is growing, but its still strange enough to gather comments about me not being qualified enough to teach. I am sure that with the Oak Meadow resources we would all have a great time playing (and learning through that) together – my 3 boys, my husband and I 🙂

  550. Susan

    I have used some of the Oakmeadow grades in the past and our year was filled with lots of creative learning. Thank you

  551. Sharae McKee

    We are still kinda new to home schooling, and our current curriculum is not really working for my 4th grade boy. I have been searching for something new for him to start after the holidays, so it would be great to win this.

  552. Jen

    Just requested a catalogue from them yesterday because I was so excited to find a pre-k curriculum that looked so perfect for me and my daughter. Also so excited that you are offering a give a way!

  554. Tricia Van Dyk

    We’re loving Oak Meadow kindergarten this year, and pretty sure we’ll go with Oak Meadow again next year. I’d love to win the first grade curriculum.

  557. Gwyn

    This would be a wonderful curriculum for my sister, as she has two youngsters, and she’s just starting the whole homeschooling program this year. And I have wanted to find ways to assist her with teaching my niece and nephew.

  561. Faye E. Hunt

    I would love this for my son (and daughter when she’s old enough!!!). We bought the Pre-K curriculum from Oak Meadow and would love to win the Kindergarten curriculum to start with him after Pre-K. Thank you for this amazing giveaway!!!

  562. Amy

    Wow! I’m so glad I stumbled upon this page! Oak Meadow seems like a perfect fit for my children! Heading to their website now…

  564. JenRay

    I’ve been shy to try a “boxed curriculum” only because my child is chronologically in K, but reading at 3rd grade, and doing 1st gr math, etc. This sounds flexible though, so it would be interesting to talk with them about what level to place her at. Thanks for the chance to win!

  566. BillieAnne

    My daughter is currently in kindergarten at a private school, but we are feeling more and more like school is not the best fit for our family. I would LOVE to use the Oak Meadow curriculum for her next year!!!!

  567. Stefanie

    I’m a new homeschooler to kindergarten twins and a preschooler – would so love to try something new – a little structure and guidance but with the creativity and flexibility to explore….sounds like what I’ve been looking for!!!!

  568. Danielle

    We use Oak Meadow and are loving it! We would love to win this giveaway! We also truly enjoy Simple Homeschool! Thanks for all the great info!

  570. Casey

    With a new baby I would really appreciate a full curriculum right now! I’ve always wanted to try Oak Meadow!

  575. Diana L.

    I knnow a few people who are using Oak Meadow and love it. I have’nt tried it yet but would love to.see how it compares to what I use now.

  578. Maria

    I checked a sample on their site and I really liked it! Our girls would love it!
    Thanks for the giveaway

  581. Lisa K

    Having the courage to homeschool has been my biggest challenge. I have the desire, and nothing would make me happier than tailoring my daughter’s curriculum to her individual strengths, needs and interests. Receiving a set of quality instructional materials would make the decision so much easier for me to start achieving our dreams.

  588. Amanda

    My daughter starts Kindergarten next year & I would LOVE to try this curriculum because she is definitely an out-of-the-box child. It would be SUCH a blessing to be able to first try it out for a full year before taking the financial plunge.

  589. Brandi Hansen

    We have always wanted to try out Oak Meadow. Thank you for the chance to win! We have been homeschooling for 9 years now.

  594. Cassie

    I have heard great things about Oak Meadow and I’d love to try it out with my girls! And winning would just add to the fun of teaching and learning! Thanks!

  595. JoAnna Bettencourt

    I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to try out this curriculum. I use to use a boxed curriculum but gave it up for the very reason listed – this looks AMAZING!!! Would LOVE to give it a try!!!

  597. ShellyFunschool

    I would Love to own the Oak Meadow Curriculum. We started out with it in Kindergarten thru 4th grade. Now we’re totally ready to embrace it again for middle school. Thank you for your inspiring blog, I look forward to all the delicious tidbits arriving in my email! And your ebook is a wonderful treat! You can’t imagine how supported I feel, just by you opening your heart and sharing your experiences. Your blog has kept me going even when I wanted to quit homeschooling. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! 😉

  600. Lisa J.

    My little boy is craving a bit of flexible routine and structure, and he would do so well with the hands-on activities in Oak Meadow. I’ve been dying to get my hands on the kindergarten curriculum, and there’s no way I can afford it right now, so this would be fantastic!

  601. Jaimee Saling

    I really would love to win. I have 5 children under the age of 7 and I am looking for a curriculum that is made for a larger family. I love the idea of learning away from the table it sticks in their head so much better. Thank you

  607. Lexie

    Ah! This would be so awesome! So far, I’ve felt God’s leading has been to follow the kids interests and learn as we go alog with life and read tons and tons of books. Recently I have start think a bit more structure for the older to (7 and 5) would be a positive addition; for them and for me. Thanks so much for all your wisdom and loving support, Jamie!

  611. Lori

    Being a non creative type myself, I have been scouring the Internet for help, curriculums, routines, schedules, HOW TO START (oh my I’m so nervous, scared, lost, wanting to excited?!?!).
    Most blogs and websites are by these amazing creative, arty, think out side the box moms and whilst I am in awe, I’m so very intimidated by it.
    This would so help me start, open a door or a thought in my brain, so I may begin to fulfil my dreams for a spectacular, loving, exciting, learning education for my kids. And open me up to!

  614. Tiffany H.

    I’m so interested in this curriculum, especially for my middle child who will start kindergarten next year. Thanks for doing this fantastic giveaway.

  617. Casie

    I have been interested in Oak Meadow for years but have never been confident enough to make the plunge. I would love to win!

  618. Natalie G.

    Would love to have this for my 2 soon to be 3 little ones– they are definitely out of the box thinkers:)

  620. Kristi

    I would love the blessing of being able to use this curriculum. I am not familiar with it, but like what I have seen of it this morning. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway. The thought of maybe winning ‘this time’ is always kind of fun. : ) Blessings to you and your family.

  621. Jen

    As a first year homeschooler with a very busy four year old, this would be amazing to win. Then I could spend less time planning and more time playing with my three kids 🙂

  626. Alicia

    I would love to win an Oak Meadow Grade 2 package.
    I am seriously considering. (for the first time) OM for my DD for next year, as she is a very artsy, creative, theatrical girl and I think she would love OM.

  631. Marcie Burnett

    This would be so appropriate for us right now. We are going through the Homeschool blahs right now, kind of stuck in a routine. This sounds like a way to brighten things up a bit and add some great ideas to our days!

  632. Lynsey Doherty

    What a fantastic competition! I would love to win this for my family. We just taken the easiest decision of our lives to educate our 2daughters at home and I’m bursting to get started, but also feeling a little overwhelmed with information. This sounds perfect 🙂 thanks simply homeschool and Oak Meadow!

  634. Erin

    I’m going to homeschool my first kindergartner next year and I think this curriculum would be perfect for her!

  639. Tanja M

    I have been staring at Oak Meadow for years and haven’t taken the plunge…but we need to! Would love to win and get us started!

  643. Katie S.

    I’ve been curious about Oak Meadow for a while… daughter is starting kindergarten next year, so it would be fun to win!

  648. Patricia

    Would love to get our daughter’s first curriculum for free. We already plan on using Oak Meadow after her Montessori preschool here on Kaua’i.

  649. Mary K

    We have been looking at this for so long! My 5 year old keeps bugging me to “do school.” It would be very special for him and me as I’ve struggled with chronic illness for over a year and he is always wanting to take care of me. I bet his little sister would also join in the fun!

  657. Kimberly

    I would LOVE to try this with my daughter. I’m a first time around homeschooling mom so I sometimes doubt if I’m teaching the “right things.” Having a curriculum like this might make me feel a little more at ease and I could still supplement with other things of my own choosing.

  660. sarah

    This would be so great for us! I spent way too much money for this years curriculum and we just arent wild about it. This year was our first year homeschooling so see other options would be fantastic!

  667. Tina

    I have been homeschooling for 18 years. There is 8 years between our youngest children. Oak Meadow works with our learning style, and it would be nice to have a change! A change that works. 🙂

    Thank you for the opportunity to try!

    And THANK YOU, Jamie, for writing!
    I appreciate all that you do!
    I’m so thankful for Steady Days. :))

    This would be so great! Someone’s gotta win, right? Have been trying to win a curriculum for a long time! Thanks for the opportunity.

  691. Jennifer W.

    Since first reading about Oak Meadow, I’ve thought it looked like an awesome, innovative curriculum that allows children to fully explore the world around them. I would love to give it a try. 🙂

  708. Stefanie

    My oldest daughter is a special girl. She’s the loving oldest sibling to six spectacular kids. Her Dad has been deployed for 3 of the last six years.
    It’s been a hard few years for her and I’d like her to have the opportunity to enjoy your wonderful curriculum.
    She enjoyable projects and reading and is a very bright girl. I can’t think of a better fit for her than your 7th grade curriculum package!

  713. Leah Greer-Pinzaru

    We use Oak Meadow for my oldest two. I love how comprehensive it is and yet, flexible enough to adjust to our hectic schedule. It gives me the confidence to finally feel enthusiastic about my children’s education.

  720. Terri

    Your review intrigues my “pick-out-my-own-eclectic-curriculum” self. I’d love to win the second grade package.

  725. Colleen Sherlock

    I would love to win this. I have been looking at Oak Meadow for a long time and think it would be fabulous for my daughter. Thanks for the chance!

  727. Bobbie Bushman

  735. Kate

    I have discovered many of my favorite things through using Oak Meadow in the past, for instance, Thornton Burgess books. Thank you.

  738. steph

    We are grateful for our Oak Meadow curriculum Our daughter LOVES the artistic nature of each lesson and we, as 2 parents trying to homeschool together, love the open-ness of the curriculum that allows us to ‘break away’ from it and follow our daughter’s interests and yet also appreciate the structure to keep us on track. I would be so grateful to win!

  739. jill

    What a great giveaway, the hands on learning activities sound like something we would really enjoy. I would love to win.

  745. Tiffany

    Jamie – Thank you for your gifts of Simple Homeschool and Steady Mom every week! I read your posts on FB daily and appreciate the inspiration you share! I first learned of Oak Meadow from you and would LOVE to win their boxed lessons! Thanks for this opportunity 🙂

  746. Rachael

    these look like a ton of fun. I have friend who have started into kindergarten (homeschooling) and I suspect they would really enjoy a box like this. I’d likely give it to her, as my little boy is only 18 months!

    Oak Meadow is a fantastic curriculum. We’re looking forward to first grade next year (ODS is doing the kindergarten curriculum now) and I am excited that the curriculum we have will last until our younger two are ready for it

  749. Sandra

    I have a friend who enjoys the Oak Meadows curriculum with her family a lot. I think the hands on way of learning and high quality reading material make for a well rounded curriculum. Love that it includes Math. 🙂 Maybe it’ll be our lucky day?

  753. Nicole M.

    Please enter us in this amazing giveaway. We are moving in the homeschooling direction and this would be an invaluable start! Thanks!

  761. Melanie Stephenson

    My 8 year old daughter is a very creative, out-of-the-box kind of learner and struggles with the average academics. I would like to win the curriculum to see if Oak Meadow would be a good fit for her learning style.

  768. Naomi Mittet

    It would help me out a lot to win this. I have recently started homeschooling my daughter who has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Finances are very tight at the moment. Thank you!

  772. erika

    I was just looking through Oak Meadow’s site the other night contemplating using their curriculum with one or two of my little ones!

  778. Crystal

    How fun! I am new to homeschooling and am trying out many new things. This would be great to try for our family.

  792. Jenn

    Yippee! Awesome giveaway. I love having some type of curriculum as a guide, but I usually pick and choose from it even still – and I always CHOOSE the things that are hands-on and encourage creativity in my children. Oak Meadow sounds awesome – would LOVE to win this!
    Thanks so much.

  798. Anya Harris

    We live in an Ecovillage in Missouri and enjoy using your curriculum to foster our son’s love of nature. We would love the 5th grade curriculum for Christmas!

  800. Nora Aftel

    We started using Oak Meadow this year, our second year homeschooling. I love the way Oak Meadow challenges the kids to explore, observe, think, and discuss – not just remember and repeat back.

  803. Laura

    With a new baby coming soon, a curriculum inabox is appealing. I hate to give up the hands on for paper. Oak Meadow may be an option for this season in our family.

  804. Becky Bartlett

    Would love the chance to get these materials! We’re beginning homeschooling next year and I’m intrigued by your curriculum.

  806. Linda
