I know you posted this video longgg time ago but I’ve been searching for the book lot and I was wondering if you still have these books and are willing to sell the lot… I’m on FB sell/trade for torchlight and although I’ve gotten some good prices some are missing most spines. I lovedddd your review on this program

I just did it in addition. Bobbi is still so young that I just picked the parts I liked from this one and added them into what we were doing with torchlight still.

Oh, I DID love torchlight. This would have just been my second year doing PreK with torchlight so I was looking for something else to go along with it so everything wasn't a repeat. Thanks for the recommendation! I will ABSOLUTELY look into that! Yay!

Nope! We are combining it with Wild math and some aspects of the torchlight curriculum we used last year! The torchlight is just because I enjoyed it so much last year so it’s not needed but you will want some kind of math supplement because it is not included in Idelwild.

I have another video walking through the Idlewild curriculum already posted though if you haven't seen that one, check it out. I could not be more excited about that curriculum. Jenese, the owner of Idlewild, has already done some edits to the curriculum too so I need to do an update because she has made it even better!

We started Torchlight PK but didn't get far, but only because of some life changes that happened. I love the curriculum and their book selection is amazing! I felt the same way about the Socks Are Like Pants book. We never got to Moebius Noodles either.
