Great tips! 😊 Definitely agree about field trips! I need to get better at that now. 😊

Love this video! My 2 oldest kiddos are going to be in 1st and k, but middle school will be here before we know it!

Have you found a good way to do read alouds? I really want to focus on that this next school year with my 6th grader, but I'm not sure what to do. Should i just read the books we have and discuss them? Or get a curriculum for it? My voice struggles reading out loud, and i tend to make myself fall asleep (thanks high school English classss 😅). Also, how can i get him to tell me about the books more? He's a voracious reader, but struggles telling me about what he just read. He doesn't like writing much. Any tips for that? Should I not worry about it much?

gorgeous woman

Hi Kaylinn! Great video! I also wanted to say that you look amazing! You are absolutely glowing ❤

Just ordered the question journal! How many kids do you have total?

What led you to choosing this curriculum? Is it for all beginning readers or only special needs readers?

My understanding is that there is a packet of pencil and paper review sheets at the end of each level. It has been suggested that after the celebration, kids go on to the next level online, but continue to review the previous levels content on these reviews sheets. This might help you feel more connected to what they are learning.

I am clearly coming in a year later but is there any way to still purchase your bag book template ?

We tried using only TGTB before, but that was a nightmare. I agree that there was a lot of tracher involvement, which was hard with 2 kiddos at the time. It also took tons of time each lesson. We attempted science (older versions), but that was a flop. Same with history. It took hours and we didn't enjoy it, so we didnt finish science ir history. However, we do use their math curriculum. My oldest is in grade 5 now and he buzzes right through the lessons. He doesnt watch the videos because he just wants to get into it. My other is in 3rd grade and likes to do the games and such, so i do that with him. We did just get Maturation as well, and I'm hoping to work on that with mt almost 6th grader, along with other resources i find. I want them to know about the 🐦 and 🐝 way before i did because that was horrible and made for an awkward wedding night (LDS here too, so you probably get it!).

Always enjoy your channel. I’ve found all these tips to be true in our homeschool too.👍 You are my people.

What age/grade was your child when she was doing this?

7 min into the video and all I can think is 'I have found my soul sister!!' haha. We run our accounts the same way. So glad we are on the same page. Love all you share, its very genuine.

I think you would enjoy TGATB Science for Little Hearts and Hands!

So many great tips and reminders for me as well ! Bonus tip ! Yesssss !!!! I have stopped talking homeschool with even close friends bc of comments made ! Always love what you share !

I have been off social media for almost a month, and I have only seen positives! I I guess not having everything from everybody in my face all of the time has made me less anxious, which has also made me a better mom, wife, and homemaker. I strongly suggest it!

I still am having a hard time figuring out a good routine with a 3yo and 1yo. I have tried so many different routines and we just have to be more flexible with our day since they are so young. 😊

I love what you said about not having an exit plan! I feel like so many people are shocked when I say that I plan to homeschool through high school. 😊

Do you have your assignment tracker on your TPT? I bought your planner and I’m so excited about it!

Of course, there are differences in teaching English between grade levels. In 3rd grade, students learn simple past, present, future tenses of verbs. In higher levels, they can learn the progressive and perfect tenses. In 3rd grade, they only deal with simple sentences. In higher levels, they will learn compound, complex, compound-complex sentences. Also, what is important in math is to develop the skill of estimation and numerical reasoning. Without these, even if you are using a calculator or a computer, you will get a wrong answer if you do not have any idea how to input the numbers correctly. Example, if you want to start a lemonade business, you need to determine how much you would sell a cup. You need the skill to compute the cost, estimate the profit and losses so you can calculate the price point. I also do not like when children are taught to be only consumers of technology. More and more jobs will be automated soon and everyone needs to learn coding at some point.

Great flip through! We're going to try Rod and Staff Math, but this looks like another great option! Which curriculum will you end up using for next school year?

Where is the love button for this???

You're really helpful and I appreciate your time you give us ❤❤❤❤❤ BTW I am subscribed to you❤🎉

Looks like you are really talented 👏. You helped me a lot❤❤❤. You're pretty too😊😊

I love the idea of the book studies ! What grade or age would you recommend to get those started ?

We tried a Bravewriter dart as well, and it wasn’t what I expected either…

Finally. Everyone seems to rant and rave about Bravewriter and I tried one (so glad I didn't buy a full year) and it did not work for us. Thanks for your other ideas.

I like TGTB science studies but I totally understand what you mean about it not being enough. I did The Fabulous Human Body by Heron Books with my fourth and second grader this year and we loved it! I did add in a YT video, body models, and picture books but it was a great study for their age. They have other science units available too.

We are doing a science unit this year for my kindergartner that I built around The Magic School Bus. Basically I just bought the boxed set DVDs of it. Looked up the topics of each episode on Wikipedia. Then I did TPT or just Google search for worksheets on the topic on the level I wanted. And Pinterest for some projects and experiments. I printed it all out and organized it in a notebook. I'm gonna hit up our library for books on the different topics. That's our plan for kindergarten science.

I agree on TGATB…I want to love their science units. 😅

Love those book studies!!

I like their science stuff because I can do one thing for all my kids and it's pretty fun. But yeah their language arts is forever.

What calendar do you have? That is super cute.

Awww !!!!! I look forward to more seasons of you !!! I always LOVE seeing what you do !!!! I Deff wanna see your book studies !!!!! ❤

This is actually a really great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Is the teacher guide necessary?

When I ate 6 small meals a day the weight fell off and I felt so light and full of energy

Just get to the point!

Thanks for sharing! Do you have a video about the other language arts resources you recommend more?

i am running my own club with best friend Amy church we are independent and have disabilities ourselves and we would like help we cant have a website because we not able to handle it and my mum would say no to having one but we would like to set up summer camp for young adults i need some help with planning and preparing my mum also has said that she dose not what me to do a lot of planning and preparing but your help would be very grateful great has to be locally

How did you getting the spiral bound on it?

That birds makes me mad....I have a headache now

Great review and walkthrough. Did you continue using them in the later years after this video?

Such good content. I just whipped up a calendar on Canva per your suggestion. Thank you!

Love your videos !! What did you use to make your tabs if you don’t mind sharing

It's a valuable tool but needs the educator to support the learning. Did you have access to the offline materials?

Wanted to let you know I ordered Writings from the wild after hearing you talk about it. We got our first letter last month about the red panda. My kids absolutely loved it!! And I found a flip book on teacher pay teachers. Absolutely a jackpot find! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the review. My daughter is about to start this program through her school and thankfully it’s free. But it will be something she can do at home for extra help. Hoping it will help!
