You made me laugh! Thank you so much! You're so funny! :-). And yes, I'm from the MidWest ;-). GOOD for you for starting homeschooling! It's definitely a journey, but not one you'll ever regret!! This program is GREAT! I have a video on an English program that's AMAZING too! So be sure you look that up through my channel. Sorry that my blog link doesn't work anymore. I stopped using that site. But the videos say it all!

Of course! I'm glad it helped!! So my oldest and my middle have "graduated" beyond Right Start Math now. Both are doing really well in their comprehension and understanding of math concepts. My oldest just finished this year in Geometry and my middle did pre- algebra this year. I've been VERY happy with RSM!!

Of course! Hope it helped!

I'm so sorry! Just now seeing this! Are you still looking for Level A? If so, email me at [email protected] and I can send you some pictures!

Oh I'm so glad!! Thank you so much for telling me! You can go here logicofenglish.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=1107&url=223 to find all the Essentials materials. Keep me posted if you have questions about it and I can help you figure out exactly what you'll need!

I'm SO SORRY! I'm just seeing this! You can go here to order: logicofenglish.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=1107&url=225 Cost varies depending on what all you're getting. I can help you figure out what you need for each child if you'd like.

WAHOO! Thanks for leaving me a message! Good for you! What Barre program are you using?

GREAT question. My oldest is currently in Level G and next year she'll do Level H. Honestly, I haven't decided where to go next. I'm so sorry I can't help you more!

Absolutely! Believe me, I totally get it. That is why I did this video. Thank you so much for your message, I appreciate it. If you ever have more questions about RSM or where you place your student, don't hesitate to reach out!

I hear ya on the budget! Here's the thing... I've spent about 4 years bouncing around with other math programs because I didn't want to pay $300 up front for RightStart. Well, $50-65 for CLE here, $55 for Simply Charlotte Mason (plus another $20 or so in supplies) there... Adds up! And now I'm selling it all on eBay and plan on buying RightStart anyway because my second kid is a VERY hands-on, right-brained learner... I could have spent that 3 years ago and avoided a ton of struggle with him, and saved a lot of money AND headaches! Just my two cents. I am notorious for trying to save money and then ending up paying more in the long run. Math or otherwise...

YES I'm right there with you!! How are you enjoying Right Start Math?

Hi!! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so excited for you to start RSM! Keep me posted with any questions you might have. I'll be sure to stop by your channel!!!

WAHOO!! I'm so excited for you to get started!!! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you for leaving me a message!

Oh I'm so glad it was helpful for you! YES! In each level, the lesson will tell you exactly which game to play. You definitely want to get the 2nd edition, I feel it's laid out much nicer and easier to follow than the 1st edition. The manipulatives come as a bundle. What's nice about them, is you will use them for every level. I found out the hard way my first year and tried to piece it all together. It was much more economical to get it in the bundle. PLUS the bundle comes with the math games book. Here is my other video on the manipulatives. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2iqe2ZvgpWgg9E You can find the manipulative set here if you want to check it out: rightstartmath.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=122&url=51 Do you have other questions too?

GREAT question! I think it depends on how well your student is doing in math. Here is a link to a placement test. rightstartmath.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=122&url=148 That might give you a better idea on where to start your child. Once you go through that, let me know if you still have questions!!

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful!

So sorry for the delay! I just saw your comment now. GREAT question. It might be too much to do the whole curriculum, but you could just get the Math games set and use those games at home to help re-enforce math skills! You can do that here: rightstartmath.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=122&url=62 www.eringrieger.com/RSMgameskit. Does that help?

Thank you! I haven't heard of Miquon before. I'm sorry I can't give you a comparison!

Of course!! Anytime!! Hope they help you!

WAHOO!! That's so awesome! Thank you so much for watching :-)

I subscribed to the Darren daily :)

THANK YOU for these ideas! I will look into this book! I appreciate your feedback!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback!

Thank you so much!! I appreciate you letting me know. So glad you liked it!!

Sorry!!! You're right it is!

Sure of course!! Thank you for watching!

GREAT questions! When you follow the formula to determine the amount of containers, do not add in the 400 calories for exercise. Does that make sense?

@@ErinGrieger yes thank you

Hey Lynn! Sorry for the delay, I was out of town with my family! Unfortunately I do not have personal experience with All About Spelling. I only remember another mom mentioning to me that All About Spelling didn't have the English grammar portion. Not sure how accurate that is. Sorry! But I can answer your other questions!!! ...... When we finished Foundations A-D, we did move onto Essentials. We've been through Essentials Lesson 26. There is a review section in Essentials IF you have NOT done Foundations. I skipped that since we had done Foundations. Essentials is definitely a step up from Foundations, not review. Essentials has them identify parts of speech, morphemes, spelling, and advanced phonograms. We didn't fully finish Essentials (all but a few lessons) because my oldest daughter moved into our Classical Conversations (CC) Essentials program at 4th grade. (Different program same name!) Logic of English (especially the Essentials) FULLY prepared my daughter for the CC Essentials program. The CC Essentials program is focused on sentence structure/diagraming, writing papers and spelling. GREAT question! So personally I didn't think they were teacher intensive because I was a teacher before having kids. So to me that meant having to prepare lesson plans and get a bunch of things ready prior to the lesson. You do not have to do that with LOE! You can just open the book and go. I LOVE that. However, other moms have told me they think it is teacher intensive in terms of the fact that you have to walk your child through it. I just thought that was part of homeschooling in general! So it doesn't bother me. I like that the book tells me exactly what to say, how to play the games, do the activities in the workbook, etc. It's definitely interactive for your child. The lessons grow with each level, but so does your child. We do about 30 min of English and if I need to break up a lesson, then I do. Overall, I LOVE Logic of English!!!! Personally, I'm a math person and was nervous about teaching English Language Arts. But through this program, not only have my daughters learned a lot, but so have I!! I truly believe this program has given them an AMAZING foundation for spelling, writing and having fun learning!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!! I have not done a specific video on Foundations or Essentials....yet. Would a specific level be helpful for you? I do want to do some! PLEASE keep me posted with other questions or feel free to email me too if that's easier for you!!

That's AWESOME!! Enjoy it! I'm doing it again now too!

Oh thank you so much Margaret!! I appreciate your comment! GREAT question! Actually I asked Right Start Math the same question. Here's what they sent me summer of 2018..... "After Level F we have our Level G and Level H. The Level G will be available this summer 2018 and Level H will be available summer 2019. The Level G & H is your math with a Geometric approach, so you will be doing a lot of Geometry in both Levels. Level F is 5th grade, Level G is 6th grade and Level H is 7th grade. We do advice you to go to the VideoText Algebra when finished with Level H. VideoText will cover your Algebra HighSchool and then they do have Geometry HighSchool. You can purchase the Algebra thou us but would need to purchase the Geometry thou them. However, we do recommend starting pre-Algebra in the Level H. We do not have the specific details of how to do that just yet as Level H is still being written."

Of course! I hope it helped!! Where you able to see the other videos I did on the manipulatives and games too in this program? Wanted to make sure you saw it all!

Hey Sarah! I'm SO SORRY! Not sure why I'm just seeing this comment. I apologize! My husband tells me the same thing! Where you able to check out some of the other games?

PS: I think it's so great that you've chosen to Home Educate your children..especially after having been a teacher.. I know a handful of moms who were teachers, and attempted to homeschool, but struggled so much w/ not doing school the way that they were trained.. that they gave up completely & sent their children to school. I've heard when it comes to teaching your children at home..you should commit to at least a few years.. to truly get most of the kinks worked out..

Of course!!! How old are your kids?

Oh thank you! You're so kind!!! Yes still love it! Just did a family presentation on the Games book in our homeschooling group! Have you done any of the games yet?

Oh THANK YOU so much! I appreciate your feedback!

Oh thank you!! So sorry for the late reply! I'm just seeing this now :-( I apologize!! So glad you like it too!

Hey Shay! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad it helped! I totally get it about taking the plunge! And that's why I didn't my first year, but wished I had! I also did a video on the overview of the whole program kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpiUZaFue51ol5I if you think that will help. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!!

Erin, thank you, thank you.. Greatly appreciate your reply. (= <3

Of course!! Anytime!! Did you decide what curriculum to do?

@Mack if you really want to stick w/ MUS.. I highly recommend you contacting them if you haven't already. They have amazing customer service, and they may have a solution to all that your child is dealing w/.. Personally I really love MUS a lot.. However, my eldest child is dealing w/ high functioning ASD... and while she likes MUS.. we keep running into challenges. So I'm seriously looking into RSM.

I'm so sorry! For some reason I didn't get notified of your comment! I just see it now! I personally have not used Math U see, but another friend of mine uses it and she was just telling me yesterday about all the worksheets. I was using a different math program that was all worksheet based and I didn't like it at all! Now, I will tell you, my 4th grader does have some worksheets. But there's NOT a worksheet everyday. And IF there is a worksheet, it's only 1 page. My kindergartener only had 20 worksheets the WHOLE YEAR! If you want, I can look up how many actual worksheets my 4th and 1st grader are doing this year! Again, sorry for the delay!
