The teacher workbook link tells me “not found.”

So this is like cards against humanity

Do you think ordering the kit is worth it? Some of the kits have things we already have. Can it be done with just the teacher manual and student book?

"I had the time to be the type of mother that I actually wanted to be and knew that I was". This is so beautiful and really resonated with me!

Hi! Do you think there is enough map skills in these?

Thank you so much for this video

Great review. I'm using the reading lesson with my 5 year old and its working wonderfully for her. 2-3 pages a day. I had checked put 100 easy lessons frim my library and it was just way to overwhelming and i hated the heavy scripting

I'm a Homeschool Education Specialist with a charter school in my state and this is precisely what I needed! Parents have countless curriculums to choose from and it's nice when I can have a video walkthrough of a curriculum in this great detail that they can view prior to spending their instructional funds on a curriculum. Thank you thank you thank you!

I am really intrieged about the binding cardstock pockets you mentioned in the beginning of the video. Do you have a link to a sample of that were you might have shown it in another video?

1 point I'd disagree with or rather which could be aided by more contextualisation is the part about asking or reminding about the meds. Yes ofc it depends on who and how and why you ask but it can also be a support since forgetting to take them is a very real problem for many and if done in a supportive way can help a lot. Granted, I have less experience with childhood adhd and more with adults but the number of people who have pointed out their partners reminders as a positive impact is huge.

Thank you! I always enjoy your videos.

This was on point Tanya. Boy have I learned the hard and expensive way. The newbies are so lucky to have your wisdom today but I’m happy that you’ve always been here.

Tanya!!! This is such good advice. 10000 times yes! I also have noticed the same judgement in the current homeschool environment. I’m also a proponent of grace and humility, especially as a homeschool coach. Different families have different needs. They are often different than my own. Thank you Thank you Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤I can’t wait to share this.

Great way to address to the “dogma”. It has been a weird (sad) shift for sure!

Beautiful chair and wall color! Yeah I’ve learned to buy curriculum/resources like you would buy an outfit for a specific event rather than “ooh I think I might wear this maybe someday.” Also, “homeschooling dogmas” is a good way to put it.

Louder for the people in the back 👏🏻

I use a google spreadsheet for my curriculum planning/budgeting!

You are an absolute ray of sunshine and this video is fantastic! Thank you for spreading such a beautiful message for those just starting and those of us who have been in the game for awhile.❤

💯 knocked it out of the park on this lady. Aaaaaaand that notebook thing is brilliant-thanks for saving this vet from continuing the cycle 😂 My husband thanks you as well!

Called out! So much curriculum 😂

Yes!!!!

❤

This is the best rant on the homeschool internet!!! Gosh I agree with every single word you said and I feel like it should be played as a PSA for every homeschooler! 😅

So much wisdom in this video - and frankly, in all your videos! I'm not a homeschooler, but I discovered your channel during the pandemic and I'm truly grateful to you for sharing your journey.

So much great advice! ❤

Love this video ❤

Suuuch great advice. Love all your videos and this one I needed to hear today - with all the spring sales and 20%offs…. I try my best to only buy what we need for the next 6mo or so ❤

Great video and much needed to hear! I plan on using Miacademy. The program looks great and I'm looking forward to giving it a try plus the Writing with skill since he struggles in that area. You and your son seemed to like it from the vid you posted a year ago. I'm going to be a new home school parent to a soon to be 7th grader. I'm excited and nervous but mostly excited. I have noticed myself wondering, "Is it enough? Am I going to be able to teach him adequately?" A little internal doubt but I've shoved that to the side because my son is excited to be home schooled and I'm excited to be the one to teach him and spend more time with him. These years move too fast and before I know it, he'll be an adult.

Well this is timely... even though my daughter is going into 5th grade next year I was considering buying the sixth grade level of her curricula because I found it for a really good price 🤣

Can I heart this 23 times?! 🙌🏽

Who would use the word stupid toward their child. That’s hurtful even as an adult.

I watched your review of SCI from a few years ago. Nancy Larson looks great, but I feel like my kid still needs basics. Did you end up sticking with SCI at all?

Fantastic!

"Let the curriculum adapt to your needs. You can use the curriculum however you wish." 🎤 *Mic Drop* YES!

I love seeing you more. I've missed you in the homeschool community. Your suggestions and ideas are always fantastic. :)

Thanks for introducing me to a new science curriculum! Will you be doing an end of year update? I would love to hear more about the transition from homeschool--public--back to homeschool and your experiences with Oak Meadow.

Could you talk more about the type of school your eldest is attending?

Thanks as always for an excellent curriculum suggestion! Wondered if you might have one for elementary history?

Yes, so hard to find homeschool friends that match.

For the harcourt books, do you need the teacher guide or is getting the student book enough?

What level would you start an average 4th grader in?

You have mentioned that you do include Harcourt science textbooks plus Evan moor daily science.. I do love both and include EM daily science as a daily morning science , as the lessons are short and sweet and swift.. I do want to to continue with that as I saw this method of bite-sized to the point introduction to scientific concepts do help my student retain the concept longer... plus I like how nice, conprehensive, and straight forward the Harcourt textbooks are for science in each grade level... My question is, if I am doing Science from both these sources, should I also include science from some other area like you do for science, where you pull from SCI or RSO.. unfortunately, both of these doesnot seem to fit my style of implimentation.. I get lost and my child feels lost too if I am at loss... she like science to the point... My question is:1) Do you think science with only Evan moor and Harcourt will suffice for any grade level or should I supplement it? 2) Have you looked into Core knowledge science units for the grade levels, how do you feel their approach is or why have you not used them as a source for secular science resource? 3) Have you ever looked into Elemental science or their Science Chunks units approach, Do you think they are worth to buy and do along with the other 2 I am doing? 4) Have you tried Oak meadow science units and how do you think it compares to Evan Moor and Harcourt.. can it fill gaps where the other 2 lack ...? Any advice or thoughts from you would be a lot helpful.. trying to find a secular science curriculum which is not experiment heavy is a struggle...

As you have been using or have used in the past many different writing curriculums, 1) Writing and Rhetoric, 2) Writing with skill, 3) and IEW... would you be able to tell me a comparison of all 3 curriculums.. Like a) What are each one's strengths, b) Which kind of student they might fit, 3) How do W&R and WWS1 differ in their approach to teach let's say similar topics, such as : learning how to write a summary? ( I know they are for diff grade levels), 4) Similarly, IEW1a and WWS1 , how their appraoches are towards: Making outlines from a source.. What I want to know is what is your take on these different curriculas ( keeping in mind all kids are diff, their learning styles are diff)... Just what are your thoughts on the three, if you have to compare them as an alternative for writing curriculum choice... which one would you grade higher and why.. where might some of the curricula fail, where the other excels....which one might someone choose to go further with into the middle school levels...

I know this video is old, but I really enjoyed it. Did you end up doing the Sitting Together curriculum and if so, how did you like it?

Great tips! Thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you very much!!!!

Agree with so much of this! Especially the transition to high school. It was even more shocking than I thought it would be. For us, part of the reason is that my high schooler has a couple of learning challenges (autism, language disorder), but even without that I think that the reality of the rigor required if you’re on a college track can be surprising when you’ve done elementary/middle school in a very different way. Lots of feelings. Sooo many feelings! For everyone!
