Hi. Tfs! I have a question that is not related to the planner. I saw one of your videos about the spanish curriculum but did you do another video about your after thoughts? If so, can your link that video? Thanks again.

Hi! I have not done an updated video about the Spanish curriculum. I like it and think it's super approachable for someone like me who knows very little Spanish to learn with my kids as I teach them. The lessons are not quick and life is super busy right now so we have taken a break from the curriculum. I plan for us to start using it again in the fall though because it's very good! I would still recommend it, but I will update more once we have used it more.

I’m in Missouri and starting at age 7 we have to track 1000 hours of school. I think 600 hours for core subjects and 400 for others. We have from July 1st to June 30th to complete the hours. But we don’t have to show or prove to anyone our hours. But it’s good to have a good log in case there’s any legal issues and you’re taken to court.

I talked more about it in my end of year review video, but we took a break from these books due to initial frustration with the phonics practice ahead of the stories that led to an unfortunate plummet in my daughter's confidence. After using a research-based reading program and building her confidence, I reintroduced these books and she loves them. We don't do the phonics practice in the beginning of the books anymore (my daughter's personal preference), but just use the books to practice reading after I have explicitly taught the phonics skills through the reading curriculum we use. She did not like the activities that went along with the books so we don't do those either. I think the books are great and I would still recommend them alongside a research-based reading curriculum. She recently finished set one and has started reading through the poetry book.

I’m curious how you teach your daughters to hold a pencil correctly for handwriting? (As opposed to a fist like when they are starting out). I’m struggling with that for my 2.5yr old and not sure how to do it! Any advice?
@AutumnRomano 2 ай бұрын
I let my daughter grip with her fist for a while. I also let her use playdough (shaping letters and other things) as well as manipulatives and tools (tweezers, droppers, etc) to strengthen her fine motor skills before she used a pencil. When she was ready though I used these (amzn.to/3VivOTS) pencil grips on these pencils (amzn.to/3USlQah) to help her use the tripod grasp. Eventually she no longer needed the grip support and we also moved to regular sized pencils. I hope that helps!!

@@AutumnRomano I love that Pinwheels is all encompassing! I was torn between Pinwheels, Logic of English, and All About Reading. What I decided is to just buy the Logic of English game book to use in combination with Pinwheels to add a little more fun. Do you have any plans/ ideas for what you will transition to after your daughter completes Year Two of Pinwheels? My uncertainty about what we would use following was the only reason I was hesitant about choosing Pinwheels. All About Reading felt like the safer option, but after much research and emailing with the ladies at RIL it was evident that Pinwheels creates a stronger foundation. It’s crazy to me that Pinwheels is such a hidden gem on this platform!

New Zealander here. We send a homeschool exemption to the ministry of education, and then there are basically no regulations at all. We arent required to do a certain number of hours, subjects, turn in work etc, my kids don't have to do yearly tests - they just leave you to teach what you want, how you want. In the exemption you explain how you plan to teach things as well as they would in school. ( or words to that effect) but noone checks up on it, nor do they expect you to stick to those initial plans. Oh and we get a homeschool allowance twice a year.
