Thank you for sharing

Great haul, like the clock! My son has learned his time tables with MUSee with the repetition of skip counting. He likes MUSee and has worked well for us so far. Hope the time tables help your kid.

Can the Christian Studies been done out of order? Do the lessons match up with any other the other books within MP?

Oh my gosh! My mom has that exact same bird clock! Yes, the hour chime is the sound of the bird shown for that hour. It is pretty cool! We are starting our homeschool year Aug 5th.

I speak from experience...*ALWAYS* read through books on puberty before giving them to children/teens!! Some seem innocent until you actually look...

Trying to locate those charts. Who is the manufacturer of the "Verbs" chart and the "Say Things Differently" chart?

Great haul💖!! I LOVE the bird clock!! 🤗

Love the singing clock! Happy 20 years! 🎉 We plan to start back in full swing in mid-August, but we have been doing a light summer of learning.

Congratulations on 20 years with your husband. We will be starting our school year August 5. I am still slowly getting everything prepped and ready to go. Greetings from Arizona 😅

Honestly my kids have all learned their multiplication facts by having a chart to use. After a while they just remember them and didnt need to look. We are starting Aug 19th. We always try to do some stuff here and there during the summer .

Love your hauls!

😊

Great haul 👍🏼 Found some great items to add to my own homeschool household 🤗💕

My family loves Walk the World’s Rim!

Fun stuff! 🌻

🙂👍

You had so many great suggestions! I saved a few of your recommendations for our morning basket. Thanks for sharing 🤗

You have some amazing ideas ❤. I have been overwhelmed with picking a Bible Study because of some many options. I love the simplicity of yours and will borrow it for our school year. Your Geography is so fun, we did a whole year of it. But we may revisit Europe since we are studying the Middle Ages. Also, some really quick add ons or suggestions: an Asia puzzle, bingo for everything as review, and Tapple- it’s a card game but I think your family Weil enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, where are these maps from that you use for geography, please?

Love how you enjoy learning with your kids! And we really enjoy the World Game. 😊

Love your picks. We do morning basket very similar to you. The book Hungry Planet is also a great resource for world geography as well as Passport to the World by Masterbooks. Where did you get the maps of the individual continents?

We live in East Texas and I'm considering getting one of those bird feeders with the cameras. It's kinda pricey but I think they would enjoy it.

Yes, it is Texas girl! 😅 me too!!! Outside of Austin and we are dying too!😊Love you!❤

I use picture books with my kids (7th & 10th grade). We still really enjoy them. It's nice to see someone else use them for older kids, too😊. Looks like you guys are going to have a fantastic year! Thanks for sharing.

I have both Dyslexia and Dyscalculia. I love math, but just do it. I love your approach to teaching math.

Could you do another video on how to actually help these kiddos with dyslexia, dysgraphia again? What are realistic expectations? What can we expect in middle school and high school writing? What will we actually be able to over come and what is just a deficit and needs to be accepted and accomodated/adapted accordingly? This is a struggle for sure!

Hello. I’m also a Christian mom of a 10 year old and will be starting with my 4 year old. I’m also like you and have other priorities. We have our own business, I have a side job too and I’m currently in our home caulking everything since we are building our home on our own while listening to homeschool videos. Glad I found your channel. God Bless. 😊

I can’t find your prepping channel

I lost your prepping channel. KZfaq has kept me from finding you

We like visuals as well! Thanks for sharing your haul.

I really need help , can you recommend any science book that are very informative and for specifically teaching science only , preferably non religious

I would love to know a lot more about narration, and what that looks like for kiddos with similar struggles as your son. My son is 9 and I think he has many of the same struggles. I would love to hear more about how you work with your son in general. This is my first year homeschooling with him and he’s in 4th grade.

Glad to see you posting again!

Is the Dk book young earth or does it refer to millions of years ago?

I bought MANY of the same items! Thank you for sharing your haul.

Copying to watercolor is GENIUS. MY 8th grader is going to be doing an ornithology study all year with Cornell's bird lab courses. We got the Dover Audubon coloring book. We'll have to try it. Thanks!

I would definitely be interested in why you decided to wait for dual enrollment!

Can you do a flip through of the writing program with the grading resources. I’m looking into iew structure and style but still unsure. Thanks

Where did you order the outlining made simple?

Thank you so much for doing this!!!! Do colleges look down on giving high school credit if a student does high school work (ie, Algebra 1) in 8th grade?

I struggle with grading in the subjects where it is mostly reading. I try not to do the same ole reading ..workbook..quiz..test.. for every subject bu then have no idea how to give him a grade. Also, Do you give any credit for a subject that you decided to stop? For example, we started Intro to Logic and just did not like it at all. He finished at Ch. 12 (not even half) I feel bad that he spent time on this. Do I give him any credit for the work he did? Thank you!

Just curious on your thoughts as to what dual credit courses you would suggest to take for senior year - I’m having a hard time deciding which classes would be a good “intro” into college work. Also, I’m curious on your thoughts to the EIW writing you are using this coming year. Do you think it is a good fit for a struggling writer that also detests writing? I’m pretty sure he has dysgraphia, so I’m looking for a curriculum that is “no fluff” - I’m just wanting him to know how to write for college/real world. Thank you so much for your videos and wanting to answer our questions!!

I am just about ready to start homeschooling my rising 10th grader (who is neurodivergent and ready to be homeschooled). The plan is to allow her to go to her charter school for 10th grade and then begin homeschooling for 11th and 12th grades (so she can get a 2nd year of sign language and band credits). I've watched your videos and noticed that you choose your own curriculum. Please forgive me if anything I am asking is redundant or already recorded in a video... How do you know what curriculum/books/assignments to choose so that it aligns with your state's requirements? Do you keep track of your child's grades in a gradebook and actually grade your child's work, or do you have an app that does that? Does test-taking require a proctor? Do you or your state decide when your child has advanced to the next grade? How do you "prove" that what your child is learning meets your state's requirements? Please forgive me if I have exceeded the question limit, lol. Thank you for all of your efforts in educating parents on your experiences. Blessings to you and your family. 🙂

any ideas on how to do a current events elective? As my child gets older, I’d like to see her learn how to keep up with world events.

Can you talk about preparing early for SAT/ACT? I have an 8th grader. What do you use to make your transcripts? I will try to think of more.

I wonder how important it actually is for biology and chemistry to be taken in high school, when those would probably have to be taken again in college if it fits within their major? Why waste a credit on it in high school just to take it again in college, you know? It seems like everything and everyone says to "take biology and chemistry in high school". My incoming 9th grader is interested in being a conservation officer or something with animals/environment. She wants to take Ecology in high school instead of biology. I like to think we should have the freedom to pick our science classes as homeschoolers (pick what our student is interested in) and not feel like we have to take what everyone else is taking. I hope this long post makes sense. Thank you for your help! Love your videos!

Put your questions here in the comments!!! I look forward to hearing from you.

Another great resource we love to connect with chemistry or elemental science is the book "The Story of Salt" for kids. The author has an adult and kids version of the book with the latter having engaging pictures and lots of SS/Geog and History references that can be correlated with science.

We love The Kitchen Pantry Scientist by Liz Lee Heinecke. Each topic covers the scientist who invented thr scientific theory/topic, had a brief intro to the subject and then follows with an experiment. Some of the chapters include, carbonation, oxidation, extraction, evaporation, surface tension, pH scale etc. Some of the scientists covered: Galen, Alessandro Volta, Marie Curie, Dmitri Mendeleev and many others. There are a total of 25 labs so it'll cover a good portion of the year well. Highly recommended!

What will you be using for Hebrew? I listened twice and still didn’t catch it. 🤷‍♀️
