You're so welcome!

Thank you! It's not easy to be patient as a mom, I can relate! The longer I have been a mom, the Lord has helped me to become more patient and understanding with them. One proverb says, "The sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness." This reminds me that kids learn better with a firm, but tender approach. I am glad you enjoyed the video and that it was helpful to you!

You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful. It's nice to get feedback!

You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful!

Aww, yes, it's very sweet to be able to enjoy these special times with them. I love having my kids all with me. It's exhausting, but at the same time wonderful. Glad you enjoyed this!

Glad to hear! It's a great daily habit to help them improve their writing skills. I hope it works well for her!

Thank you!

You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful and I hope that it works well for you and your kids!

You are welcome! I am glad it was helpful to you! We have used copywork for spelling. I think spelling words are better learned in the context of a text rather than in isolation. Whenever they misspell words in copywork, I have them correct them and rewrite them 3-4 times. I also use random resources to teach them phonics and spelling rules (usually all together in Morning Time.) So far, copywork has worked really well to teach them spelling. If I had had a child who struggled with spelling, I would probably have found a specific spelling curriculum to use, but so far that has not been our experience. Have you tried transcribing a passage a few times a week? Read a passage for him to write as you read it aloud-no copying. Maybe you could use a book he is reading or a previous copywork. After he finishes, circle the misspelled words and discuss spelling rules, etc. This is something I have tried occasionally. It's worth trying! Sometimes, for kids that breeze through, it helps to just bring attention to that fact that they are misspelling a lot of words and they need to be more careful. I hope these might help you!

You are so welcome!

You are welcome! I have seen so many good results from copywork, even from kids who don't enjoy writing. I hope it goes well for you and your son!

Thanks for the video! Do you have any of your Children’s daily checklist for the school subjects available to look at?

@@redeemedmama6768 We do not do paper checklists, I have them on a whiteboard with wet earace markers so they will not wipe off with the dry earace markers (we check with dry) at the end of the day wipe off. We do the best we can to make it simple.

@@redeemedmama6768 Hi there! Here is a post I did where you can see some samples of checklists along with ideas of how I put our kids' checklists together. I hope this helps you! ourlifehomeschooling.com/2022/08/22/how-to-make-a-workable-homeschool-checklist/

I'm glad to hear that this has helped you! I don't use a curriculum. I use a cheap dollar store manuscript tablet (with the dotted lines.) I teach them one letter at a time, starting with the letters in their name. Also, I remind them that most print letters start at the top, but cursive letters start at the bottom.

You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful for you! Yes, in 4th grade we start formal grammar lessons. I feel like by that age, they have had plenty of practice writing and have heard a lot of good books, but need a little more structure and understanding of basic capitalization, punctuation, types of sentences, parts of speech, etc. We start with Abeka Workbook Level C, which might technically be a 3rd grade curriculum? Not sure on that, but it is a very level for them to start out with. Plus, at this age, I have found that they are pretty much able to read and understand the new lesson at the top of each page and complete the lesson for the most part on their own.
