Thank you so much for this!

Are you using the handbook tor reading too or just the charts? Are you using the letter and sounds book too or just the charts and flashcards?

Did you use the phonics hanbook and finish that after where you left off at the end of kindergarten?

Homeschool mama of 3 here! Thank you for this video- my youngest has been my toughest on teaching to read and I think this is what he needs. Totally forgot it was on my shelf and I could use it outside of the current curriculum we use now. 👏🏻

I took a break from social media for whole year started dec 6 2023 , it was definitely hard at the beginning but now I am feeling much happier, so much I was able to accomplish!!!❤

I came here to see if anyone can post the animal riddles from Think and Learn K5 page 52. So far, we've been able to teach each page without the parent/teacher edition. Thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video! It is exactly the information that I needed.

Dose the level for comes with the answer key!?

Could you Please create a video on 'How to teach young children to read English words, how to hold a pen, and how to write"

Thank you for this

Thank you very much for sharing all these wonderful resources. I appreciate your advice on CODING and how important it is in our constantly changing society. Truly helpful. Many heavenly Blessings to all!

Super super helpful! Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to share in detail ALL the Homeschool curriculum and personal experiences! Many Heavenly Blessings to ALL!

Wonderful video! Thank you very much for sharing all these curriculum ideas and your personal homeschooling experiences! Growing in the 80's: Middle School was 7th - 8th but we were ALL in the same Catholic School! Elementary on the first floor and Middle to High School on the 2nd floor!

Thank you very much for sharing all your recommendations on the selected books! Truly helpful! I especially appreciate your evaluation on "The Witch of Blackberry Pond" on the sensitive issue of children acting behind the knowledge of their parents. This theme is addressed by Jenny Phillips the creator of The Good and the Beautiful on how many modern books try to isolate young people from their parents. Thanks a million! Heavenly Blessings to ALL!

THANK YOU! Very much for your wonderful comprehensive video and sharing all your personal homeschooling experiences with your children. Truly VALUABLE! I'm learning a lot from all your videos. Many heavenly blessings to all! 18-Nov-2024

I want to thank you for doing this. I love love a lot of aspects of abeka because it's so through and solid. However, I feel I can no longer do all the lesson reading and planning ahead. I have decided to start a "grab and go" for my boys. I was just not sure how TGATB compared to the Abeka 2nd grade level. I am ready to start with 2nd grade.

So thankful for this video! Even though I’m seeing two years later 😂 still relevant and encouraging for me.

Does the good and the beautiful have 6 grade kit?

My son is now 26 years old. He went to Christian Private school. Where he did Abeka for PreK. He was very well prepared for Kindergarten.

I have done the same! Have been off IG and FB for 4 years already. My mental health is 100% better!

Love this video!

I deactivated my FB and it's the best!!! I still have IG to peek at every now and then, but overall, my life is much happier without the overabundance of information coming my way that I was not personally seeking out. Way too overwhelming and overstimulating! Much better off without it for about 99.9999% of the time!!

I loved hearing your story, and definitely relate to finding KZbin to 'click' much more with what I want to create vs. Instagram. I also enjoy Facebook for the same reasons...that is my social media for long-distance family and friends who I really do love seeing updates from.

I deleted Instagram four years ago and haven’t regretted it. I want to get off Facebook too, but it’s the only connection I have to other homeschoolers in my area. A new co-op meet up group just started a few weeks ago, and we’ve been able to attend some of those already, which has been great. It’s so new that no one has shared phone numbers, or created a GroupMe thread either.

I love the look of BFB. My daughter is in 7th right now and we are doing a government unit this year....would it be too young for her in 8th grade? I know it's picture books and not alot of chapter books, but really I feel like sometimes you learn more with picture books. Also, could. you share your google doc? Thank you!

Deleting my social medias was the absolute best decision I could have made too. I love KZbin so I don’t think I’ll ever stop but I think i have a healthy balance with KZbin. I use to spend 7+ hrs scrolling nonsense on IG. I don’t miss it one bit. Facebook was a toxic family environment for me, so I detached from it years ago.

I definitely am glad I haven't gotten Instagram and Facebook. I do have a timer on KZbin too. I gotta keep the phone out of my life more!

I gave up FB years ago and never had instagram. I try to keep it simple for sure and find social media to be stressful and depressing. Thanks for being a good inspiration out here on KZbin! 🎉❤

I feel you about the instagram. I have it but don’t love it

Good for you! I never got Instagram for these reasons. I also don't have a Facebook page but my husband does. I scroll his quickly about once a week just to try to see what's going on with family members. I only have KZbin. I never got tick tock either. I learn a lot from KZbin. Also I like to watch certain creators and support them and their channels by playing the ads

I’m adding that book to my TBR list. 😊 Thanks for sharing the homeschool mom encouragement! ❤

Funny thing, haven’t seen you in months, I deactivated my fb and this video popped up. Life without fb is soo refreshing ❤

Instagram has always confused me. The weird choppy videos. KZbin is so much more streamlined and simple. I like just sitting down and watching a presentation. I think Instagram aggravates my ADHD. It makes my brain fire off in too many different directions.

When I went traveling, e most important moments, I didn't record. They remained private. Evil men r conspiring 2 destroy our souls with distraction. Sounds like u r paying atn n doing what u shd! Well done!

Good for you Lauren! I don’t have social media besides KZbin. That’s enough of a distraction for me. 😂 The more I hear people getting off of social media, the more glad I am that I don’t have other accounts.😊 I have been trying really hard to not be on my phone during school time. Technology is so addicting. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is convicting and helpful. My weakness is listening to something everytime I'm doing housework or cooking. It seems innocent but I notice I'm less present with my family and have less patience. And I don't even retain most of the information I'm hearing because I'm distracted. It seems so weird and difficult to stop but it wasn't that long ago that I didn't even have a smart phone. What did I even do all day lol. It's kind of eerie to think we all used to just go about our day without constantly consuming content and that seems so foreign to me now. I downloaded the audiobook you mentioned and hopefully it can ironically give me tips and motivation to stop listening to so much content haha. Thanks ❤

I also deleted all of my social media accounts. I just had this strong feeling that I needed to do that. I don’t regret it at all and I don’t even miss IG or FB.

I get that feeling on Facebook. It’s really negative for me and I am in a better mood if I am not on it often. I do scroll instagram some for funny reels. 😅

100% I haven't had a IG or FB account for years, it was making me depressed. Deleting it was the only way I could find peace from the comparisons, the addiction to checking my phone, the time wasted, the negativity, the politics, the distractions, the fatigue of having to post or comment on friend's accounts, the false "perfection", and the drama, it was more than my brain could handle. But most of all, I didn't want to model that behavior to my children; the behavior of constantly checking social media. It is so detrimental to our children's minds and I wouldn't want them to think it's okay because mommy is on there too. My parents are addicted to social media, and they can never fully be present in the moment because they are constantly checking or posting on Facebook. It's so sad how a screen can hold so much power over us.

Question, so you use TGATB but supplement or like add more work by using Abeka’s workbooks? I sometimes want to switch to Abeka, but it is so pricy and seems so overwhelming! And I always thought you would have to get it all, so it can be used correctly. Could you help me understand more of how or why you use TGATB’s workbook, but use Abeka’s workbooks too.

Hi, new here! Love your videos. Do you grade any of the tests she takes? Do you have to have someone look over the stuff she did at the end of the year? Does she have to test between each grade?

This is a lot!! Students find it very difficult to learn the vocabulary. Also, this doesn't work for ESL students.

Great video!! Thank you!! Sorry if you said this already… Is the BJU 7 Grammar and Writing a 1 semester course and the 2nd semester is literature? Or is that their older edition?

We have loved all the books so far too!😊 Good to know about that movie. 🍿 We might have to watch that. ❤

What did you guys think about the readers in level 4? I keep hearing they are boring. I already got level 4 and I think it looks great but I am hoping my daughter doesn't fight me on doing the reading, especially since we are loving the level 3 readers.

I’m glad to hear that co-op is going great so far!!😊

You explained everything that’s going through my mind right now thank you. I’ll have to look into ath mammoth. But for my little ones we’re switching to math with confidence too.

Love this update! Have a blessed year and a great fall season
