Jenny, you are a blessing. I’m a 72-year-old grandma on Social Security teaching a nine-year-old granddaughter. This is my third year. If it weren’t for your free curriculum, I would never be able to do it. Before I searched whatever downloadable curriculum I could find and it was a hodgepodge. We’ve always included our Bible readings so this was perfect for us. I do print the free downloads and then I have her look at the iPad if she wants to see the color pages. Right now I’m trying to catch up on some things but I plan on working on buying the curriculum later. I can’t tell you how happy you made me when I found The Good and The Beautiful. You are truly an answer to my prayers. ❤

We have been having so many friends knock on our door to play and people asking us to tend their kids that we've been having a hard time getting anything accomplished. I have kids ages 6- 19 years old. Any tips on how to kindly limit friend time and babysitting time?
@user-pc4hj9xt9e 18 күн бұрын
I've heard of families putting signs on their door saying they are available to play or they're not available to play! Prevents a lot of doorbell ringing when the friends come up to the door and see the sign that the kids at home aren't available to play right then. 😉

Where do we go to find a better explanation for lesson 116 of Level 5?
@TheGoodandtheBeautiful 27 күн бұрын
Math 5 Lesson 116 includes a mini lesson in your course book along with the video for the lesson. Lesson 116 is designed to give your child an introduction to different number systems and also learn about the Base 5 Number System. Students are instructed to read through the mini lesson and try out the practice problems. If your student has some difficulty, that is okay! The student does not need to master how to convert between Base 10 and Base 5 number systems; instead, this lesson is designed to simply give the student an introduction to a different number system. You’ll work more with various number systems in future courses. If you have further questions after the video and mini lesson, you are welcome to reach out to our wonderful customer support team via email at [email protected] with any questions you may have.

Thank you for your interest! The Language Arts K-3 courses have been completely redone and we no longer have the now discontinued phonics cards incorporated with our Language Arts courses. Instead, the Reading Booster Cards, Reading Booster Books and Phonics Read-Together Books are brand-new resources which are used in correlation with their respective course books. They perfectly align with the child’s progress and greatly increase reading confidence and fluency in a sequential, ordered way.

I'm using level 2 with my gifted almost 5 year old boy. I was very sceptical about Simply Good and Beautiful Math, and we have started with Go Math but didn't like it, then we moved to Math in Focus for the first grade. But my son was not very happy about it. It is good program, but as my son is younger , his attention span is short, he was getting bored. So we started TGTB, it is less behind than MiF, but we are not rushing. I started TGTB math, because I didn't want my son to get frustrated. We are on lesson 20 already and very happy. It is not difficult. There is enough practice and revision for him, it is not boring! So for us it is working well. My son gets concepts easily, he is doing lessons in 15 minutes and is not getting bored and frustrated. May be for someone else it won't work as well

Hello! Parents know their children best so we highly suggest following your child’s cues to know when they are ready for this course. Most children can begin the Preschool Course at the age of 3 or 4 but some children may start the course at an older age.We also strongly recommend not moving the child through the course too quickly. Some children, especially younger children, will need to move slower than others. We love the flexibility of homeschooling to tailor learning to the child’s level. We hope you love this course!

It makes me good to hear we aren’t the only ones that didn’t complete the course books this year. We are going to do math & LA each day during the summer. Our plan is to do those subjects outside on the picnic table!!! It’s amazing how their attitude is better when we do our lessons outdoors! My plan for screen time is only 30 mins total screen time this summer after they complete their lessons. I love the idea of service projects! Thanks for the tips! You are amazing Jenny!

We do screen free summers (June, July, August). We are too busy with 4-H for my kids to even notice they aren’t getting screen time. We spend 1-1.5 hrs in the mornings for working on skills that need improvement (spelling for my high schoolers, language arts for my elementary student) and 30 minutes of quiet reading time. Afternoons are for working on 4-H projects, swimming, hiking, zoo visits, volunteering at our local animal shelter.

I love the points system… thanks for the great idea. I’m doing a modified version to encourage more effort in school work and chores. They get 1 point for each session of school work (with good effort and no sandbagging!) and 1 point for chores, etc. 2 points for taking initiative and doing chores without being told. They lose points for breaking house rules. Lose 2 points if you get a timeout. They need 15 before they get TV time. It has worked like a charm all day long with my 6 yo, 4 yo and 3 yo ❤❤❤

Our summer schedule starts with breakfast and then 3 hours outside in the coolest part of the morning. Then it is back inside for a snack and daily chores, and reading time. Afternoons when it is hot the kids work on projects and skills (think musical instruments, learning to sew, woodworking, etc). Late afternoons we may go to the pool, or go bowling with KidsBowlFree, visit a science center or museum, etc, or just keep playing and working on projects at home.

Last summer, I tried something new with my kids and technology. We all sat down and discussed what our technology use should look like, how much time, how to earn it, and how they feel when they use or done use it. Talking together was helpful so everyone could have a say and more importantly, everyone could understand the guidelines we were all agreeing to. In the end, we decided certain days were allowed for certain activities, ie playing video games is only on Saturday. We chose to keep technology off on Sunday and Wednesdays. Time on screens was earned in 20 minutes increments and when the timer went off, they had to finish up and turn it off immediately (we've struggled turning things off). Of course this reward came only after our essential activities were complete. And, we all agreed that personal screen time couldn't happen after 5pm. They knew they couldn't ask for it after 5. Once all the parameters were determined, I created a contract that everyone signed agreeing to keep. I am amazed that we were pretty successful in sticking to our contact and plan on recreating it again this summer.

I have a 2-month old, a toddler (who just started potty training), and a rising 2nd grader. Our summer structure includes a Bible reading time together (the Jesus Storybook Bible) with the younger and the actual Bible with the older (i let her choose... So far she's chosen Revelation 😂) and we talk about it as we go. Then we spend 30-40 minutes together cleaning/organizing/cooking together so they understand that we as a family (not just Mom!) are responsible for taking care of the space and things God has given us. After that, usually my oldest opts to read or make art on her own. The older two play together for much of the rest of the day except during an afternoon mandatory quiet playing/reading/resting time.

I have been praying about what to do for our summer, and I've felt that we need to work on emotional resilience and developing Charity, as well as getting to know our Savior better. I found a lot of stories in the Gospel Library that help model kindness and service, so one of those will be part of our reading every day. Past Friend issues broke down The Living Christ into manageable chunks, so that is going to be what my kids look at during the sacrament on Sundays. And for FHE, we are going to work on the Emotional resilience workbook the Church put out to help my kids (and me) be stronger that way. We will do math facts and reading programs, and I love your idea about the points. We do something similar, but it's less structured, so I'm looking forward to trying your way.

My husband and I lived in Houston, and are currently in South Alabama where it’s just as hot being near the beach. We choose to school through the summer and take more breaks in the fall where we like to tent camp, hike, bike and spend more time outside. So basically we do more school March/April through December than the more traditional school. We just enjoy Spring/Fall and Deep South winters where we can get out more without the insane heat!

@kasitouvell3895 We used to live in Texas and now live in a country that is even hotter. Today our high is 117 degrees and we have 2 single room AC units in our house. So I have been working to figure out the same thing! We also shift our school year. We finish school the end of April when the weather is still nice and then begin our new school year at in July because the kids usually don’t want to be out in the afternoon anyway. Some of the things I have found that the kids really enjoy - playing/working with the water hose (to clean the terrace or clean the car or just play “water the children” like they are plants), needing to be inside most of the day but then eating dinner outside when the sun is almost down and then they usually want to play with their scooter after eating because the heat is more tolerable when the sun goes down, cool treats make the heat more bearable like frozen chocolate dipped banana pieces or smoothies or individual cups of yogurt that were put in the freezer, pillow/cushion forts inside, letting them make an indoor obstacle course with a few guidelines, our oldest is enjoying getting up scavenger hunts for his siblings. In addition, I bought new fun workbooks and puzzle books for the summer, doing how to draw videos, puzzles, board & card games, fun challenges with building materials (like each child make your own crazy vehicle out of Knex or how big of a castle can y’all make with magnet tiles). Go places that have free swimming or free AC to enjoy. I know that can seem like a big feat sometimes. I have 5 kids all between 8-2 yrs old. But every time I mustered up the energy to take them somewhere to swim they had a great time and I was thankful..exhausted but thankful. When we were in Texas we would also spend more time making fun things in the kitchen together when it was so hot. (Here the kitchen is over 100 degrees before you turn on the stove/oven so we stay out of there as much as possible)
