Yes she is! 😭 I can't believe how much she can do on her own now. ❤️ Your videos on Fix It Grammar really helped me when I was thinking about getting it. So thanks friend! ❤️

Thank you! ❤️

Yes....the everyday practice is wonderful!

Thank you! ❤️

Level 1 supposed to be for 3th grader?

​@SuperAndora that's what I also read about level 1

Yes! I imagine I'm going to be looking at it alot in the future. LOL!

Oh thank you!!! ❤️

I'm happy they're helpful! ❤️

Happy I could help! ❤️

Thanks again Marylu! ❤️

Hello! LOL! I'll have to tell Avi that someone from the UK actually saw this. HA! Oh I'm so happy I could help in some way. ❤

Oh great! So she was right and didn't even know it! Lol!

No not to much. I have the same group and intensity. 😊 She's starting to learn to color artistically which is helping her soften her grip. 👍 😁

Hi Kelly! I am definitely NOT always like this during a normally homeschool day. Especially when I'm trying to work with one kid and I have 4 other ones crying or fighting in the background. 🤦 So don't worry mama! You're not doing anything wrong. ❤️ We have tears ands hard days just like every other homeschool family. I'm trying to convey that in my videos but I know it doesn't always come across well. I'm hoping to do a REAL day in the life video, showing the good, the bad, and the ugly so people know we're just like everyone else.... not perfect, but striving to be more like Christ every moment. ❤️ ❤️ I'm glad this video helped! 😁

@@PursuingPeace Aww thank you so much for your reply and for trying to make me feel better. See, you are so sweet! Honestly, i can just tell that even off camera you are much nicer of a teacher than I am and much further down the road of Christlikeness lol. I look forward to your videos.

Hi Samantha! Yes! I do skip the writing portions of TGTB and the editing exercises. The writing portions I skip because we're planning on doing Essentials with Classical Conversations and that is ALL about writing....so I'm not too worried about her writing right now. :)

Oh no! I'm so sorry! You can download some curriculums and print them at home if that works for you.

Hi! Yes we do. But there isn't too much editing in TGTB level 4. So it seems to pair well together.

Hi! We skip the vocab journal in TGTB. We also skip the editing portions in TGTB since it's in Fix It Grammer. 👍

Yes I do! We skip the editing portions on TGTB. We still do the grammar parts though. She just needed some extra practice with finding everything in a sentence.

@@PursuingPeace Gotcha! Thanks for your reply!

Hi! I would recommend still starting with Level 1 just so she grows accustomed to the way the curriculum works. The lessons are short so if she wants to do more than one lesson a day she definitely can. 😁

Yes! We just skip the editing portions in TGTB. 😁

Hi! Yes we still use TGTB. I just added in Fix It Grammer because she needed more daily practice. 😁

Thank you! ❤️ We started in 3rd grade and she was 9. But my boy is now in 3rd grade and I'm planning on waiting until next year for him. So it depends on your child.

Depends on your 3rd grader. My oldest loved it. But I knew my upcoming 3rd grader would struggle, so I'm waiting until 4th or 5th grade for him.

It starts off very easy and the book teaches the new concept at the beginning of each week.

They all have been so far! 😁

@@PursuingPeace Great! I wanted to get it to go along with fix grammar also.

I'm not sure what I did! Lol!!!

Hi Abby! I just felt like my child needed a little more practice on grammar. She was having a hard time doing the editing exercises in TGTB.

Hi Shelly! I can't remember off the top of my head. But I think I linked it in the description box. 😁

Is everything ok? Is there something I can be praying about for you? ❤️

@PursuingPeace Pray for the future of the homeschooled kids of this generation that they will be competent and apt to face the challenges of the ever changing workforce. Pray that these children will not end up just flipping burgers and that they will reach their full potential and be great and wise leaders. And please pray for parents like you and I who decided to home educate our kids that we will strive for excellence so we could give our children a much better future. Homeschooling is intentional parenting on steroids. We need to educate ourselves all the time to be better teachers to our kids. We can't just pick up a book and start teaching it to them without first perusing it and getting us informed of what we are going to teach our kids. That's lazy teaching... and that's lazy parenting. And that's what I observed. I am an advocate for learning alongside our children. But for the love of Pete, we should at least have a better understanding of the fundamentals before we embark on such endeavor. And if not, what are we doing about it? Pray for wisdom and guidance! I am not coming from a place of hate. But I have such great passion for homeschooling that it's so annoying to see so many parents, especially after covid, embarking on this journey with less preparation. Homeschooling is a commitment we shouldn't take lightly. Pray that you shouldn't just jump to the conclusion that something is wrong with the person who had the boldness to criticize something in order for change to happen so that excellence is achieved.

You might not have meant it with hate, but that's how you're coming off. Your intentions might be good, but no one is going to take it well when you say they're lazy parents. If you truly have a passion for homeschooling, then you also need to know how to speak to those who homeschool. We're normal, every day parents who deeply love our children and work hard for them every day and don't deserve to be criticized harshly by someone who hardly knows us. If you truly care about this, then teach classes on grammar for homeschool moms or have a website where we can go to learn more. Be a part of the solution, because I'm sorry to say, right now you're just creating more problems. I normally don't say things this bluntly, but you seem like a person who can take criticism. I'm going to go homeschool and love my kids now so I won't have time to engage in this discussion any longer unless you learn to speak with love...and a filter.

I can take criticism. I hope you do, too. I hope I create in you a change... a desire to be better at what you do... to find the time to look at the books you're going to use to teach your child before you even begin the lesson. School teachers don't just show up at work without lesson planning. So why do we do it to our own children we are homeschooling? I have seen so many parents make excuses for not having the "time" so they just do the bare minimum homeschooling their kids. But if you look closely at how they spent their day you would see why they didn't have the "time". I didn't call you a lazy parent. There's a difference between lazy parenting and lazy parents. To call you a lazy parent is an attack on you, someone I clearly do not know. So just to be clear, I am not trying to attack your character or you as a person. It's unfortunate that that is how you perceived what I said. Lazy parenting, however. is what I observed in this video based on the unpreparedness of the home educator, and that was what my comment was about. We need to be able to take criticism and strive to be better... that is my hope for you.
