The Busy World of Richard Scarry show pronounced it as 'scary'

Scar-e. It’s tricky!

Great video and good tips. I started running a homeschool co-op 4 years ago and it has been the best part of our week. I value the moms who have stuck with me with our growing pains and changing and now we maintain a very large waistlist.

Night owl or early bird...didn't take you long to answer that one. :)

When he said the word “denim” I knew this was the video for me. ❤ Great video guys! Good questions and answers!

Thank you so much!

This is just what we needed! We are going to do a road trip from LA to New York and will be 'homeschooling" our son for the first time for a whole term. We will also be driving through the day as there is no way I could drive through the night and not sleep and then still function the next day!

Love all of your picks so much and appreciated a look at some curriculum that I have been peeping for awhile! ❤

Love your choices 😍

❤love the sign language idea 💡 I’ve been looking for something besides just the basic KZbin videos for my son. He has selective mutism and some communication difficulties. So, we want to teach him more sign

I think I need to take a class from you.

Spelling: Would a montessori moveable alphabet be useful for this OR do the tile cards do better?

We use the Yoto player box and have been loving it for years, similar to the tony box! My kids loved octonauts when they were younger. Such a great educational show!

My kids have honestly learned SO MUCH from octonauts! I love it.

I randomly came across this video. I love that idea that you trade with a friend! How do you work it out to be relatively fair trade? Is there a certain amount of eggs and veggies that your friend gives you for each loaf of bread or batch of cookies?

I have that same planner and I love it! What a great idea to get the meal plan on a small sheet of paper that just slips right in!

😊

I meal plan similarly, though only one week at a time 😂. I'm impressed that you do all of that baking!

I have to admit, it triggers me that you are starting your list of days of the week with Monday......

So nice to find another 2nd Gen Mama in this space! Looking forward to more of your content 😊

Great list. Thanks for the recommendations!

YES YES YES!! You bring up so many valid points and explained them so well. I hear all of these arguments regularly and people just refuse to get it.

You didn't know anything about being a parent but they let you take the baby home so why cant you teach your kid

Great video thanks for the encouragement! I’m planning to start having kids next year and know I want to homeschool. This video made me a lot more confident😊

Great video. We love little pilgrims progress. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed. I also have a channel and would to be friends and connect here.

Would enjoy a whole video on Educating the Wholehearted Child.🙋‍♀️

First time watching you. You are a breath of fresh air !!! I look forward to your future content.

My daughter started kindergarten in 2020. Her classroom was all virtual and at the time it seemed to go ok. She’s our first, so we had no idea what to expect from school in general. It wasn’t until she was in a physical classroom for first grade that we noticed how much she was struggling. What was so unfortunate is that we didn’t realize how bad it was until the last quarter of the year. Before the school year was over we had decided public school wasn’t the setting that she would learn best in. We’re about to wrap up our second year of homeschool in May, and I have to say it’s been so good. I had absolutely no idea that prior to this time two years ago that I would be a homeschooling parent, nor did I ever think I would have such a heart for it. We have no intention of ever sending her back, nor enrolling her younger brother. Having the freedom to customize their education is such a blessing. My children are able to thrive and have 100% of our support 100% of the time. That is/was our why to begin with, but man, did God surprise us. He’s gently showed us the countless ways that we’re doing the right thing. We’re able to be the biggest influence in their lives, not their peers, and that is priceless. We’re their source for how to love God, treat others, view themselves, respect themselves, form and nurture relationships, and the list goes on. I’m loving the journey we’re on and I can’t wait for another year to see God continue to work in, and through us all.

So many great books!! I love all the moms/parents book. I’ve never heard of them and definitely will get them. Also the One blood book! Seems perfect since we are a multicultural family! 😊

Going to be homeschooling my grandson starting this year. I absolutely plan on starting cursive first after I have done all the research into it. I remember when I was little my mother started me with print but had me writing in cursive before I ever even went into kindergarten. At that time my peers were just learning their ABC's and numbers, and learning to print. I clearly remember my teacher crossing out my name written in cursive and telling me I had to always write in print. As an adult that makes me so angry to think that a teacher would hold a child back for being more advanced and make them go backwards in things they already learned. She knew I already printed as well and my writing was very clear and precise for one so young. I much preferred cursive. After seeing the studies on it, it of course makes sense, and only solidified my own thoughts behind starting him with cursive. Thank you for your thoughts on this subject. There really isn't much talk about this topic. Now I don't feel so out of place moving forward with that as my choice for him, hearing someone else say the same things I have been thinking. 😁

We do cursive first too, i never thought about how weird the transition to cursive was, ha ha, that's so true. I was in public school, and I tried doing cursive because I saw it in a book but wasn't allowed to do it until 4th grade... so weird. Very informative video!

I was just thinking of this curriculum and wondering more about it! Thanks for the flip through! I’m a new subscriber! I also have a KZbin channel about homeschooling!

Thank you for your video. I planned up to 2030 ha ha and then each year I go more detailed and break it down by quarters and plan more detailed from there. Then I reverse plan on a daily basis. I totally get the structure in order to have freedom. I feel a lot more confident and at ease if i have a longterm vision in mind.

Thank you this is the curriculum that I've been really curious about and considering getting!

I use a disc bound system to have a home management section, meal planning, gardening, homeschool and regular day planning sections. I like your massive note taking book though, I've been thinking about making a discbound journal.... thank you for the inspo. Always fun to find someone you can really relate to and thank you for the encouragement that it's always changing...

Very nice reasons! So many are similar to us! And as a family with older kids, we have seen these advantages of homeschooling play out with freedom to work different hours and choose the subjects of most interest and need. Thanks for sharing

I also use multiple planners. I sometimes want to combine into one planner but not sure I could have enough pages. I'll be curious to see how well it works for you. Maybe getting a hole punch for a planner might help me do that. Hmmm. Thanks for sharing what you are doing. It gives me so good ideas.
