A grammar exercise that my kids love to do is to write out a passage from what they've read, and then go back and highlight all the nouns or verbs or adjectives, etc. They love using highlighters, lol! And it's a simple little exercise that I can set them up to do if I have to tend to something else for a second.

5:48 THIS! I feel pressure to dedicate 3+ hrs everyday to homeschooling. Self-inflicted pressure by watching other KZfaqrs lol. You’re the first to OWN being able to accomplish schooling in 1.5hrs.

To be honest, I always feel like I am not doing enough. I am still learning that there is so much freedom in homeschooling with just the essentials and spending the rest of the day simply living life together. It required me to change my thinking about it, and our family (especially our children) our thriving because of it! ❤️❤️❤️

Glad to hear that another mom who is embracing simplicity. I do the same with my younger elementary student and I just feel like cramming more and more does not add any beauty to our day. I always love your videos, and I definitely now have to go back to your second grade reveal and read the comments. I am going to order Strayer Upton math as an add on because my little guys hates writing so much! God bless you and yours 🙏💛

I have been doing CLE with my now 3rd grader for 3 years. I found your channel shortly after I began CLE a couple years ago and was so happy to see another Mama doing CLE. Fast forward to this spring and I ordered all the CLE for his 3rd grade. Then after much prayer, I felt pulled towards Charlotte Mason for several reasons (even though I have loved CLE). I then happened to watch your video of your changes also! We seem to be on the same page somewhat with our curriculums! Just had to share! Enjoy simplifying this year :)

Dana, You are such a precious mama. Whatever you do with your children will be right for your children. You know them best 🥰 I just didn't want you to feel stressed about grammar. You are doing well and so sweet to share and encourage mamas on here. I have young adult children to elementary. I hope my boys find a sweet Godly woman like you.

I love your channel. I am a second year homeschooling mama. My child was speech delayed, and we did an introduction to kindergarten. Our curriculum was an all in one. I did not have experience and wanted a structured curriculum. I feel more confident this year and would love to pick and choose his curriculum this year. I may have to dabble in certain things and see what works for him. Thanks for all your content and wisdom.

Aw thank you so much! Yes! One of the best things about homeschooling is being able to pick and choose different things that work for our family!❤️

Simplicity means everything when homeschooling multiple children! Wonderful picks, I hope you have a fantastic upcoming school season. We use McGuffey readers as well. Alongside Queen Homeschool Supplies Language Lessons, they are very simple, beautiful, to the point, and take minutes to complete. We use their Discovery Nature and Science series as well - they are fantastic! I've also just thrifted Ray's Arithmetic, very exciting!

I totally agree with you my son is in 4th grade and we really focused in Math, language Arts and REading. Science and history we just use the 180 days.

I’ve heard about that too! ❤️

Great choices for your family! My 3rd grader will be using Sonlight B for history, Bible and Literature She will be using Sonlight K science with her sister in 1st grade. It’s for 5-7 year olds and they will be 6 and 8. From CLE she will be using math, reading and language arts.

Oh wonderful! How much do you do each day? I am still figuring it all out. ❤️

@amberleggio335 Ай бұрын

About two of the steps a day. Example I would introduce lesson step 1 and do step 2. Then I would review the table and do step 3 and four.

Also I have only deleted me books one and two, three will be new to us this year. So I am not quite sure.

I am intrigued by the math choices. I am planning to go with Life of Fred for my 3rd grader this year but I want to look into these too now. 😂

@NoLongerLukewarm Ай бұрын

We LOVE Ray's Arithmetics. For boys who don't like to sit long, it has been amazing. Seeing my son treat numbers in paper differently than doing mental math with Ray's has been crazy awesome. I highly recommend 😊 if not as core, then like a every once in a while thing. To keep things fresh.

@Dreblueskies Ай бұрын

LOF is so fun!

@OurMessyHouse Ай бұрын

We’ve used rays this year. We have decided to future use it as extra/summer work though. It has around 15 lessons-ish if I remember right in addition and I believe 12 in subtraction. We did every lesson two ways and were done mastering in a month. Beautifully done, just simple and few lessons. It only costs around $6 on Amazon so it is worth using either way! Hope this helps.

@oursweetiebirdshome Ай бұрын

I have heard so many wonderful things about Life of Fred! ❤️

If you keep your kid's younger year notebooks or any papers that they wrote on as a keepsake or to compare their handwriting to later years, how do you decide what to keep, where do you keep it, how do you decide when not to keep some of it, etc.? I have my son's kindergarten notebook that he started doing copy work in and after taking a break from it and then starting to write in it again a year later, his handwriting was so improved so I can't decide if that notebook should be the only thing that I will keep once he has filled it or if I should keep the Lesson Books too, since they write and draw in them and then what am I going to do with the Gentle Grammar, since they write in it?😂 One option that I am considering is to keep everything from his kindergarten and 1st grade that I decided, but not to keep 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade, just a few papers here and there but then keep more stuff 5th and 6th and so on? Lol any advice?

@oursweetiebirdshome Ай бұрын

Each of my little ones have a special box for their keepsakes. At the end of each school year when I go through and declutter I let them choose what to keep in their box. They will pick different art projects, papers they are proud of, etc. I also keep a few standout pieces that we did together or pictures I want to keep as memories. I don’t have a lot of storage space, so having those special boxes help us be intentional about keeping our favorite memories!❤️
