Coming soon! ❤🎉

@rudolphreviews Hi there So we both enjoyed the 2nd grade material. The 3rd grade material is good, but he is questioning "why" he needs to learn math, so he is not loving this 😂 I have been very impressed with the Teacher’s guide. Remi, on the other hand, is at that age where he just wants to get it done. This takes the student through various ways to get to the answer. It reminds me of Singapore, but it has more substance to the problem, which is why he groans when we do math. I have pulled out Singapore for him to do alongside this. Hope that helps 😉

@sarahmogus9464 Thank you for your comment. I will be happy to do videos on both.😉 I love talking Five in a Row, so I am totally down with making that video. If there is anything in particular you would like to see regarding FIAR, please let me know, and I will be happy to include it. Otherwise, I will just talk Everything FIAR 😁 I love ❤️ talking about it, and can talk about it for days😂 Thank you again for your comment, and thank you for watching 💖

Nothing in particular. My son is third grade too and I’ve really only seen FIAR for younger kids not for this grade. So anything you wanna talk about or maybe a flip through of some of the teacher’s guide if you have it would be good.

@@HomeschoolingwithHeart223 I would live to see more about this also. I think our homeschool really needs this but I am worried having a 4th grader to make the change. I would just like to know how it is working for your 4th grader and how you schedule it or the rather along with your other choices that you are still using. What works for you? Thank you and I hope to see a video from you soon. I’ve seen many others asking about FIAR for this age. It is very hard to find content. I really think that we need this.

I love those little books! Thanks for the tip, I will check them out. As far as Sonlight L.A. goes, it didn't fit our style. It may in the future if we continue with the readers, but for now, it just doesn't work for us and the way Remi learns. I do believe they have great readers for the different age groups, which is why I have continued using Sonlight for his readers. Thanks for the question 💖

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. These are my favorite videos to make 😁 Yes I will be happy to do a review video. I may do a video showing how I use the MP with my grandson. Thank you for purchasing the letters. I am sure you will be happy you did! Thank you for supporting my channel 💖

Hi There! Thank you very much for watching. I have the same concern about ai. On one hand, I feel like if used properly, it could be great, but on the other hand, I fear the harm that could come from using it. Thank you for your comment and thank you very much for watching 💖

Thank you for the lovely compliment. I actually had to contain some of my excitement. Ai is a very different tool that we now have at our disposal. Remi enjoys making art with it, but that's about all I let him do right now. It was good chatting with you today, and thank you again for watching. 💖

Thank you for the compliment, and thank you for watching✨️ I watched a video that said content makers should have scripts. Needless to say that advice didn't work for me. I tried reading from a script, and I ended up sounding like a robot 😆

What is AI

@danahall1282 Artificial Intelligence. It's on the internet now for access. One source is Chat GBT it's also on the search engine BING AI can do anything from making beautiful art to writing an essay in seconds. It can write an article for a blog, personalize curriculum, make a unit study in about 2 seconds. My opinion is It's actually very interesting and kind of scary 😉

Thank you for your beautiful comment. Thank you for watching, especially watching until the end 💖 We hope to start the channel back up again very soon. I'm so excited to let everyone know what we have been up to. Thank you for making my day.

Thank you for the comment 💖 I absolutely love the curriculum and am hopeful that it will enter our Homeschool again down the road.

Thank you for your beautiful compliment, and thank you very much for supporting this channel. I'm glad you enjoyed the book! I am happy it lifted you up. I'm sure it will continue to help you through your journey for some time. I found out over the weekend about the sale. Thank you for making sure I was aware because I do love me some funschooling 😉 I totally went over my budget, so Im right there with you 😬😅 Apparently, Amazon took down her inventory. She had to open a dispute, and all the while, she was losing $$ and her top 100 status in homeschooling curriculum. Thank you for supporting her small business 💖 Thank you again for watching.

Thank you for watching 💖 Purchasing for Homeschool Groups - That's a fabulous idea! You're right. Ya can't beat $4 for a Valentines gift. I need to purchase a few for our co-op gift baskets. Each of us has been asked to contribute something (if we can) under $5 to our coordinating Mom's, and this would be perfect. Thank you for the idea! I hope you enjoy the book as much as I do.😉

Thank you for the compliment! YOU ARE amazing 💖 It is very difficult to raise a second family. More difficult than other people realize. Even though we are a little wiser, our children are totally different children. The current generation, the times and circumstances that we find ourselves raising them in, are very different, too. (Not to mention we are 20 years older, lol) I think being hard on yourself shows just how much you care. Allow yourself some grace 😉 it's a beautiful thing you are doing for your boys. I always tell my grandson, "The more difficult something is, the better you feel about the achievement." Thank you for watching, and thank you again for your beautiful compliment! God Bless 💖 Take care of you!

Thank you for the compliment! Thank you very much for watching 💖 Remi enjoys looking back at some of the things he enjoyed and comparing those things to present day. I hope you and yours find it just as enjoyable 😉

Thank you for your comment and feedback. I'm happy you found the video helpful. Yes, I personally have found it to be a very nice combination. Actually, my grandson enjoys the program for that reason. I will be doing a flip through of the 3rd grade program soon!

You are most welcome.

Thank you, I appreciate the prayers. I agree he is adorable, lol. He is growing up way too fast. Happy New Year to you and Yours!

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad to hear you tried it. Now you know, right? I think it's better to at least try, if we are in a position to try something different, at least then we find out if our kids are a good fit or not. I have thought about a co-op but I don't know if Remi would be comfortable in that setting. I just wish we had Homeschool groups for meet ups in our local area. I also would like a later start time 😅 Happy New Year to you and yours as well.

It really is! Especially when we learn something new about ourselves mid-life 😄 I'm happy to hear you have found a method that is working for her. Ya know, Remi is an auditory processor and it has taken a bit to tailor to him, but finding methods have all been part of this amazing journey for sure. I love learning right along with him, and it makes my heart sing when we finally get a method working! Thank you for your comment 😉

That's good to know. He can see images just fine. I'm the one that can't see them, and just found out that seeing images is a thing 😁 If there are exercises I can do at my age I might try. Then again I have gone about half a century without seeing anything so it may freak me out even more 😂 Thank you for letting me know I do appreciate it 💖 I may take your advice and do a search for adults 😉

@@HomeschoolingwithHeart223 Dianne Craft actually does a lot of exercises with adults . Some exercises were aimed at adults and modified for children. Some of her work she did with athletes and then adapted it for children . I understand you have lived this long without it and may not be interested. Your video just immediately reminded me of these exercises Because I was opposite of you. I thought everyone saw images and when I found her I realized some people don't. Working with children I realized some did Not see these images or make these images in their heads and a lot of times these same children had difficulty in reading comprehension or paying attention. I had a problem comprehending and paying attention when a story was read to me. I needed to read it myself. Some of her stuff helped me in that area. Everyone learns differently and none of it is wrong but sometimes things can be made easier Or sometimes whole new worlds can be opened up you didn't know existed. Happened with me ha. I just wanted to share in case you were interested. Not trying to push it though. Thank you for your video. Also, my images do freak me out. Like you mentioned you may be freaked out I have very vivid dreams and usually I am lucid so I know I am dreaming but it can be horrific. Also one of the reasons i couldn't pay attention when someone read is because each word or phrase took on a whole world of images so narrowing it down to just the story I was hearing was difficult. So opposite problem of some people But can be just as difficult.

@@MariaMaria-sr8zg Thank you! I appreciate you commenting and sharing this information with me, and others, who may find this helpful. One of the reasons I love creating content is being able to talk to y'all in the comment section!! It makes my day when people are willing to comment and especially when people offer a piece of advice or try to help. Thank you for that 💖 For me, I find that I have to shut things down because I feel so deeply. I can kind of relate to what you're saying, but instead of images it's like I can feel the experience. When something is read to me, or a story is on the news, I will have to tune it out, if it is even remotely intense, because I can actually feel what that person is probably going through. Sometimes I will just cry, or even become very anxious and I have to change the channel, or come back to the book. Now I think (knowing about the images) perhaps instead of seeing images, I get feelings 🤷‍♀️ The thing that I love about social media is the information that is now available to us and the vast information we are finding out about one another. The unique qualities we each have and the similar qualities we share. I appreciate your comment and thank you again for being helpful, and for sharing your experience 💖

Thank you for the compliment 💖 I'm glad this video was able to help in some way. He is much better. The bite wasn't too bad, but it did enough for him to have to be treated. Thank you for asking and thank you for the comment!

I'm so jealous! Lol. Seriously, I think that is pretty incredible. I'm so fascinated by this! It kind of explains alot though😅 I think instead of images I work more with my feelings.Thank you for your comment 😉

Wow! And Yes, it makes sense.

I cannot believe I have gone all these years without knowing people actually saw images. I'm still baffled 🤔 Thank you for the comment. 💖

Thank you for the comment. Yes, he is pretty happy with Memoria Press reading. I am going to introduce cottage Press next week, so we will see how he does with that one in the mix. (Yep, it was painful when I found out, but also explained so much 😂) Thanks again for your response. Take care of you!

Hi There! I'm sorry to hear you battle with chronic illness. May God Bless you and yours. Thank you for the continued prayers, we keep y'all in ours as well. I wouldn't mind sharing that information at all 💖 I hope I can help in some way. I will add this to my content schedule. I appreciate the kind words and again we appreciate the prayers. We are pretty excited about the growth spurt we have experienced. It's strange though because Honestly, I have a fear of public speaking. Like, talking to more than 15 people in a room fear! My voice will shake and I start to panic. Here, on KZbin, I can talk to about 300 of y'all and feel like I am sitting with a bunch of friends. When I look into my camera and start talking, that's exactly how I feel. It's strange, but I really do feel like we have a sense of community here and I hope y'all feel the same! Take care of you 😉

Hi There Actually, I was impressed with all of the kids. The Ages were 6 and up and they all held the "chomper" 😆 They were even excited about the huge Monster in the water. I may post a short so y'all can see some footage. Thank you for the compliment on the video and Thank you for watching! I will add the Bible resource to my content discussion planner 😉

I was thinking about Unit Studies the other day, because it's curriculum I get to buy lol, so I was just thinking of how behind I am. Usually, by this time I have several picks, but this year I haven't had time yet to sit down and look. I am thinking of Campfire Curriculum for Thanksgiving but I do need to look at Christmas. Heck, I still need to get a Halloween costume before the Easter stuff is on the shelves 😉 I will add that video to my content creator. Thank you for watching and Thank you for the compliment about the video!

Hi There and you're most welcome. I do feel like the lessons are long enough for my grandson. However, Apologia does have an Extra Practice, or Skills Practice, Website listed inside the front of the book. I haven't had time to really dive in but from what I have seen this looks like it's a good extension of the Math Skills! Thank you for that question 😉

Thank you! I will check those out.

Thank you very much for the compliment. 💖

You are most welcome 😉

@Heather Cox Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, he is definitely a shining light in my world! Thank you again and may God Bless you and yours as well 💖

Right? I will try and get a flip through out soon! Thank you for your comment 😉

Thank you for the suggestions💖 He used reading eggs and he lost interest. However, thinking back, I may have tried it too early. I used it when he was in 1st grade and he did the same thing with short vowels. The sounds finally clicked when we started using Explode the code. Last year when we started the long vowel teams he did fine, but when we started reading higher level books he started guessing again. I felt like I needed to oversee, and be more involved, to see if he is just struggling or if something else is going on. He is getting over the "hump" In his speech, which also happens to be the middle blends, and I feel like the reading will follow (that's what I'm I hoping) Thank you again for the wonderful suggestions 😉 I appreciate it very much!!

Thank you. I may look into the app. Anything that helps correct my southern accent might help 😆 Thank you for the comment 💖

Hi there! Yes! I do believe that his delay has affected his reading, especially phonetic sounds. He is actually working on articulating the middle sounds in speech, and it just so happens that is what we are focused on with his reading. I have found that when he is just reading out loud with a reader if I don't correct him as much he enjoys reading. I do correct him when we are "learning" to read. I have found that if I separate the two, he enjoys reading out loud much more in class and for fun. I hope that made sense. I'm even bouncy when I type 😄 I do apologize for the late response. I have had an app update and am not seeing responses for a few days 😕 Hopefully, this gets corrected soon. I hope I answered your question. Best wishes to you and yours on your reading journey thus year 😉

I agree that is a great book. Actually it is what led me on my search ✨️ Thank you for the suggestion 💖

They just released Volume 6 And that one is for ages 10-12 The Curriculum starts with: Pre-school ages 2-4 Before FIAR Pre K and Kindergarten More Before FIAR ages 3-5 Early Elementary FIAR Volumes 1-3 Ages 5-9 Elementary FIAR Volume 4 Ages 9-10 Volume 5 Ages 10-12 Volume 6 Ages 10 -12 Volumes 7 and 8 are coming soon and they will be for 12+ I'm very excited to see what they do! I'm waiting on my copy of Volume 4, and will make further curriculum decisions based on what I see in that Volume 😉

You bet! 💖 Do you have a preference on which one I show first?

@@HomeschoolingwithHeart223 No. I have a daughter who's behind in math. She technically should be in 4th grade but hasn't learned multiplication yet.

I will definitely update on how this is working for him 😉

Thank you and thank you for the beautiful compliment. I know what you mean by lucky to have him. I didn't when I first heard that term but now I do. We are lucky to have each other 💕 Thank you again for making my heart sing with your compliment.

I hope so too. 💖 Remi enjoys Singapore and I love it. My brain works the way that they break things down and he likes that they show different ways to get to the answer. He did 1A and B last year and we started 2A. We will pick up 2A again this semester. Having said that, I am with you on how the problems may look in the future. Math is going to become more, and more difficult and I don't know what the future books, or the Teacher’s Guide for that matter, will look like for Singapore. This is why I have another Math. I want something that will be his constant. I hope I have found it with the direction we are going using Apologia. Apologia breaks down the problem for the child. So It is teaching them, instead of having them "follow along" Apologia uses the same method that he is accustom to using, so he doesn't need to change direction using it, which is why I went with it. The other reason It is that is shows the student the "what" and the "how" in order to form the conclusion to the answer. That was a huge selling point! Best wishes to you and yours for this Homeschool year! As always, I enjoy our conversations. Take care of you 💖😉

Oh wow!! How wonderful that you were able to offer so much, and be of such a great help to them 💖 I'm glad you found our channel. I never thought I would be doing this but it has been a beautiful, fulfilling journey. May God Bless you and yours.

Oh my goodness, Thank you! You reminded me that we have a curriculum on natural medicine that he has been wanting to try, so maybe we will use our "nature walk" to forage a little bit. On the insects - That child would get bitten by a bug just thinking of it. They are attracted to him even with a couple of coats of spray. He's a trooper though :) Thank you again for the idea! We have the campfire curriculum that I think we will use to start the year off with 💖

Thank you. If you end up purchasing it let me know what your kids think about it 🙂 I'm always curious to know how some of these items work out for others.
