It really is amazing! I can’t even imagine past generations doing it without internet (and KZfaq 😆)

Thank goodness for local artists willing to teach them 😂 It’s sad because I do actually like art, I just feel like we never have time for it. Better to have it as a scheduled class that I’m obligated to attend!

Also I am absolutely planning on using many of your ideas in this video!!!

That made my week! I’m so glad that my videos are helping, especially just starting out with homeschooling. It can be so overwhelming!

Absolutely! What topics our subjects are you most interested in? We haven’t chosen yet, they all look amazing!

@@RegularSecularMama We are going to do physics and the human body this year so one of those would be amazing! But I'm open to whatever topic so I can see what their boxes look like and hear your impressions. Thanks for making such helpful videos!

You’re very welcome! I’ll keep those in mind 😊

There is. What topics our subjects are you most interested in? We haven’t chosen yet, they all look amazing!

Thanks for watching and joining! 🤗

Yes!! I wish I could find more to outsource that fit with our learning style/goals/viewpoint. And you’re very welcome 🤗

Same here! We have some hardcover composition books that have been ongoing nature journals. I wish I could find them on Amazon, but no luck.

We did poetry tea time exactly twice this past year 🤦🏻‍♀️ It was beautiful, but my brain is mush but the time we get to it!

Yes to more videos 🙌🏻 What parts of HQUS do you incorporate?

@@RegularSecularMama I use the chapter and History Hop as an introduction and schedule the corresponding BYOL books at the same time. I think this helps in following a coherent time line. Then we go deeper with videos and other books to fill it in more. I also add the more diverse and reference books from BYOL to get more perspectives and highlight important people and events. I also check out other booklists and pick from those the books I know my kids will enjoy. I try VERY hard not to over do it but sometimes we have amazing deep dives if their interests lead us there. But the literature and readers from BYOL are always on target for us

That sounds like an amazing line-up!

I would love to hear how you combined your 4th grader into US History? Did you change out readers? And how you changed the assignments to be more appropriate for him or did you find them to be fine for him?
