I grew up in the 70’s and chemistry sets were being thrown away as trash. Now in 2025 we have a president that announced that putting water on a magnet made the magnetism go away and worse no called him out on that false statement. Even a preschooler knows that does not happen. Hmm..maybe because they experimented with magnet in the sand box and dumped some water in it and the magnet picked up some wet black sand.

I love your stuff❤

Montessori needs wood for two reasons one it’s used in a classroom and needs to last, but mostly in Montessori there is a huge emphasis on treating children almost like adults. Their is no plastics, they get to use real glass, they pour their own drinks, they wash their own dishes, and it’s amazing how they level up when given that respect of high quality materials, trust and expectations 😊

How long does it generally last before spoiling?

Hi! We miss you! I hope everything is well with you and your homeschool. 😊

Oh, I loved this video so much! This was so fun to make :) 😊

For storage, I plan to store the styrofoam inserts in a plastic storage bin from Walmart.

You and your husband = Master Gardeners! I can tell by your creations and how they’ve grown! xoxom

Can I made it without cream of tartar

So good. If you haven’t already read “The Child Is the Teacher” by Christina de Stefano, please do!! She goes into so much more detail in both what was covered here and far beyond! Also, just want to acknowledge that Montessori stayed aligned with peace and human goodness vs. fascism. Huge win for us all there through her strong internal compass.

How you split up the lessons is super helpful!

Are you still using this?

Dam met

Just read already🫥

Ok…

What do you do when the baby starts moving? My youngest started eating solids on his own around 4 months, walking at 8 months and is all over the place now by 11 months.

Love this. Do you have book recommendations to improve critical thinking?

Sooooooooooooooo goooooood!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE

AWESOME REVIEW!!!! new subbie! Ive been researchinggggggggg alot! thanks for this!

Thanks for sharing!

amazing for such a young person she has nailed my experiences from the 1970s! Time we remembered why we became parents and how to inspire our children.

I work in a real one room school house and it’s hard to give everyone what they need. It’s super hard and you’re working with other people’s kids as well as your own many times!

More more more please!

hi what grade would you recommend using this?:)

I'm trying to decide between this and singapore math.

Why does the woman have to have dreads??

Wow!! Im learning so much from you! I just realized Im auditory learner!! You’re a God send!

Actually this was the best one yet!! We’re relocating to FL with a month or 2 and we’re going to do Homeschooling and theres sooo many videos with sooooo much info and I’m like well how do you figure out what to do eat day?! Very helpful!

Thank you so much for your videos, they have been so informative! My twins are going into 2nd grade this year and we’ve used The Good and Beautiful math since preschool and they did very well with it. I plan to switch to Right Start this year for 2nd grade but I’m wondering whether I should begin with Level C or go back to Level B to help them re-learn those foundational concepts that are so important! I will give them a placement test but I feel like even if they know the concept they may not understand what’s behind it, which makes me think it may be worth it to go back a year to Level B. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

For homeschooling we don't need fancy things to be done or material to buy. It's simpler and natural way of learning based on our values that basically facilitates our child to persue his /her own interest.

You’re hilarious 😅 Thanks for the review. I’m all over the place finding curriculum for my 2nd grader! Last year we did Singapore/Dimensions Math but wanted something else. I also checked out Math Mammoth but RightStart seems more fun…I did the placement test on their website and got Level C but with your review I’m not so sure anymore. She doesn’t know all her facts and has never added or subtracted more than two digit numbers. She loves and enjoys math so I’m confident she’ll learn fast but still wondering if Level C is way ahead. My daughter is 7

9:27 this story brought me to tears. Because I also was setting my grandparents garage carpet on fire. But I got in huge trouble. And now that I realize, that there were more instances growing up where my inner scientific curiosity got me in trouble, and no one stopped to notice that all I needed was safety and a chemistry set. It took me into my late 20s to find out that I love science and I am now in college obtaining my microbiology degree.

Fantastic review!! Thank you for the balanced, reasonable, fair minded approach in a too often reactionary, close minded world. Fully agree that highschool age students deserve to hear multiple positions presented objectively.

Which ones should you not buy?

Great video

This is ONLY in her very first book. She specifically writes about long uninterrupted work cycles in her later books. “Our schools start with three to four hours of work and remain open longer and longer. Children begin to come in the afternoon. Then, both the teacher and the children begin to get enthusiastic and remain a few hours longer in school.” Maria Montessori - The 1946 London Lectures - 192 The interruption of work by the hours fixed by a time-table and the periods of rest is a negative. [Teachers say:] ‘Don't work too hard at one thing or you will be tired’, whereas the child shows clearly the desire for the maximum effort. Maria Montessori - The Absorbent Mind - 360

Excellent video, thank you! We love RightStart but I have been going nuts trying to decide if it’s a good start for my TKer (he’s very math inclined but loves all the cute colorful stuff! Which..as we know, RightStart lacks). In the end though, it’s the math that matters and in my opinion, RightStart is phenomenal. If I find that he needs something a bit more “fun”, what do you think about MWC? Also, I feel like you would love the math from The Beauty of Play✨

LOL! I am EVERY one of them depending on the day...and how many hours I slept 😂

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for EVERYTHING that you shared ❤️

This was helpful as I consider this for next year. thank you

I will have an advanced 2nd grader and slower learning 4th grader. I’m feeling guilty that we never finished level C last year. Do you think it would be okay to jump to level D so my oldest isn’t so far behind? We started RSM after leaving math u see when my oldest couldn’t understand the concepts outside of the blocks. I found it because of you!!!! Thank you!

😂🤣😂 “just… put the rug over it. No, Dad doesn’t care!!!”

Love this! Thank you! What would you add in to discuss climate change?

Thank you for sharing the "What Now" portion! I couldn't find that list anywhere else!!

Does this have to be refrigerated?

Thank you for this!! I was just looking at both of these yesterday comparing the two to see if I could do both somehow.

what it for the tartar cream just new and want to make to my children

Just starting with my 7.5 year old twin boys! We’re doing a couple of lessons a day right now. I assume this will slow down as the lessons get trickier. They’re definitely beginner readers. So far nothing else has worked!!

Absolute wonderful look at this side by side. Great editing. Have you checked out Science Mom Biology?

I just love her personality!!
