This looks so fun!!! I see they have different level kits. Which one is the one you’re using?

Thank you for this walk through! We did Beautiful Feet last year for our first year of homeschooling, we did early American history which goes through the Civil War -- For jumping in to Biblioplan this year, should we continue chronologically into Modern History or should we start in year 1 of the cycle? (2nd and 5th graders) What would you recommend? Thank you!!

I love your channel but you are killing my budget. lol I have a huge book list now since I found you.

Thanks for sharing! Excellent tips!

Thanks for sharing!

These are great for ancient history! Going to bookmark this vid :)

Loved this!!!!

I just found your channel and I am loving it!!! I love books. Your energy is great. I was wondering where do you have all your books? I didn’t know if I missed a room tour? I love to see how everyone arranges their books and space.

I love all your videos!!! They bring me comfort 🥰

I can't keep up.

I'm a Thriftbooks "junkie" too. You've got some excellent choices for history and culture read aloud times.

Great haul!

When you say you want to read 250 books, is that including books that your children will read on their own or are these all books that you or your husband will read out loud to them? Or maybe including audiobooks?

Not me ordering books and watching this video at the same time. I feel like I can never have enough books. 😂

Oooooh.......I got a chill just looking at your thumbnail! 🎉

1. I love Thriftbooks and have to refrain from purchasing all the books my kids and I want in one order lol. 2. Thank you for sharing your haul. I will have to order some :)

We have loved CLE for years now, parti for Language Arts, Reading, and Math. It's very thorough, affordable, and helps children work independently. Love them!

After years of dealing with the mountains and avalanches, we had the extra money to buy those sorting bins, and I ditched the hampers. They are good on space, attractive, and color coded. There are handles to carry them down to the laundry area. It's not perfect, especially whenever we have a busy week but it keeps that monster at bay. We do have a clean clothes basket to bring up our things, one load at a time. Sort them on my bed and kids take their clothes. My clothes don't get folded. If I need to iron I do that when it's needed but that is how I cut time.

This was soooooo good!!! Thank you for this! 🤎

So helpful! Thank you for sharing ❤

Thank you so much for showing all of this. My daughter is dyslexic and “behind” so I am trying to find something else for her this year. I also have a daughter going into 1st grade.

Oh my goodness, these were amazing tips! 🥰

Great points!!! Thanks

Love this thank you!!

I have a free Pre-K complete curriculum with video lessons for a full year on my channel. Look under the Playlist A to Z. I hope it’s a blessing!

Girl you are making me want to buy all the books 🙈😂

Amen!!! So true!!! Thank you. As simple as the concept may seem, it is so true and quite eye-opening. Thank you for sharing and allowing yourself to be used by God🎉❤🙏.

CLE has been such an incredible blessing for our family.

Great book haul!

Do you still use math u see with cle math?? Or do you only use cle math?

I'm so excited for this haul!

I definitely experienced the math struggle with my daughter our first year of homeschool. When you find something that works, you realize the difference between doing hard things and even that productive struggle versus frustration and overwhelm…there is a big difference. My daughter says that math is her favorite subject now🥰 Thank you for your video! Definitely good things to keep in mind with math!

Do you have any recommendations for a 10 year old boy when it comes to poetry?!

Please make an in-depth review on math for the higher grade levels!

Hi! These all sound great and a lot of them were on my list for this year however you convinced me to give CLE a try and so I’ve been looking at the CLE curriculum and I’m just curious do you not use it for fifth grade? Or do some of your children use it and others do not?

Wow! I needed these videos! I’m considering CLE for our family of 8 kids. We are in a very difficult season of life caring for my mother and father in law who have major health issues/stage 4 cancer. We NEED open and go and resources that my husband can take over if I’m called away to the hospital. ❤

First time seeing your video and I absolutely love this! I wrote each down as a reminder for me throughout the year♥️. We’re going into year 7 of homeschooling and these hacks are so important to keep in mind… always 😆. I immediately subscribed when you said “practice not master patience”.. that’s a word! 😂

It’s an iron infusion not transfusion btw

Hahaha! Yes he gotta help teach too! ❤

My kids like to color the pictures in the LightUnits, too 😊. It's actually convenient because it gives me time to work with the other kid. I agree that the layout is simple and not distracting, but still pleasant.

The plainness of the pages actually helps my flighty girl to focus and not get distracted.

How do you get the free lighting unit? I see an option for a free catalog. Am I just overlooking it 😬

I just ordered CLE for preschool, first and fourth grade. I’m excited to try it out next year! Also I ordered 2 of something and an answer key they emailed me to see if it was intentional and to let me know I wouldn’t need the answer key along with the teachers guide. I really appreciated that customer service!

We love schoolhouse rock videos! Oldies but Goodies. 😊

This background and lighting is awesome ❤

Thank you! ❤❤

Great video! We love CLE. 😊 Next year we are doing Reading 5. If we didn’t have so much in to Math U See, we would use Math also.

I’m a teacher but I’m still super nervous about home schooling my kiddos. A lot of the tips you gave, I use in my classroom. So great job mama!! One thing I learned in the classroom (keep lessons short) is to try not to talk or lecture longer than the child’s age. So for a 10 year old, I would lecture 10 minutes, and then begin hands on practice or a video or a writing or discussion, anything but lecturing.

Thank you so much for making this video and answering my question! 😉 Very helpful!!❤
