We are starting homeschool this year and I have loved seeing your advice in Facebook groups and TikTok!. I am also using a lot of CLE and my daughter would have been entering 2nd grade. I did the diagnostic math and she did not know all of the concepts covered either. What I did was I have the teacher guides for level 1 math and have figured out what light units/lessons she needs and we will just be hitting on those before going to 2nd grade!

We love CLE I feel like it’s so advanced so it’s ok that any child is a level below. It honestly doesn’t matter.

What? They stopped the cursive? Maybe they will bring it back. They tried that in my state like 10 years ago. It lasted a year and they brought cursive back. Cursive in the early years actually has a lot of benefits for the brain.

So glad I found your channel

This sounds so pretentious. Oh it told a story so we rolled our eyes my daughter is too smart for stories.

We are new to homeschooling and I have twin 1st grade. ive been looking at the good and the beautiful but then I seen ur post about CLE. Do you like it better than TGTB?

We have completed 6 grades of CLE math. First grade is super advanced. It’s an excellent program and easy to teach.

Ooooo….I’ve been trying to find one on Ancient Egypt for this upcoming school year and now I’ll have to check out that company!! I feel the same way regarding Gather ‘Round and had to ditch them. They’re also increasing their digital products by 20%🫣😅. Would definitely like a more in depth on Schoolhouse Discoveries 😁😁.

Thank you so much for your videos. I switched to Horizons math after watching one of them.

Would love a Bible life pack flip through! :)

I had never heard of Schoolhouse Discoveries! They look amazing! Thank you!

My son did CLE Lang. Arts, Reading, and Math from 1st grade through 9th grade. I can not tell you what a solid foundation it has given him! It is such a wonderful program. I always giggle a little bit when people, like yourself, say they didn't consider it because of how it looked because how it looked was exactly why I considered it. My son was a very busy, busy boy. He didn't want or need a lot of "fluff". He wanted to do the lesson and then get on to the "fun" stuff - trucks, outside with the chickens and farm cats...So the very basic looking light units helped him stay focused and not get distracted.

We love CLE! We use math, reading, and language arts.❤😊 When I found them I felt like they are a homeschool hidden gem!

We love CLE math and Language arts! We are on our 3rd year with it! My upcoming 1st/2nd grader begged me not to switch it ! He truly LOVES it!

We started the good and beautiful language of art two weeks ago with my daughter and she simply began to advance in her reading. English is not our first language... and I am impressed with her progress. I think the most important thing in teaching is to have material that keeps them motivated to learn, that is my goal.

We did not like CLE. Jumps around too much and too repetitive. My daughter didn't retain much.

We use our dining room table. We do have a spare bedroom that only gets used by guests twice a year. I have considered turning it into a homeschooling room/space, but my kids are at very different levels. Soon to be Grades 9, 6, and pre-k. So, we are never really all in the same area anymore anyway. My oldest goes off on her own, most of the time for school work. I bounce between my other two helping each as needed. My youngest doesn’t do much school but needs help to get started with things to play. We love our open dining, kitchen, and living space. It is where we spend most our days.😊

We love CLE math! I have used them for 3 years straight. I have no regrets!❤😊

Have you watched numberblocks? Our 4 year old can already count by 5's and 10's and multiply, subtract, add, all from playing with numberblocks and building that characters from the show!

We use Math u see and love it. I have used TGATB as a supplemental program when my oldest hit a road block. I did ask my oldest last year for her 9th grade year if she wanted to switch math up and she did not want to. She likes math u see and wants to continue through Highschool.

Campfire curriculums is much better than gather round too I think!

New sub here. Thank you for sharing. I would like to see a flip through of the AOP Bible curriculum when you have a chance. TIA 😊

My older kids are in lower levels but we just tell them levels don’t equal grades. My kids love video games so the easiest way to explain it to them. You work hard you can level up with time.

We love cle!

Ohh what a great unboxing video! 🤩 I’d love to see a deeper dive into Schoolhouse Discoveries. ❤

Yes!! I switched from MUS to CLE. The diagnostic test was key! Both of my older kids placed lower. I trusted them and am so glad I did. There were so many gaps to fill.

We love CLE math! I used 1st grade, 2nd grade and 4th. They have all done so well. It’s the best math we’ve ever used. We have tried Horizons, Math U See and ACE. None of those worked for us.

I love homeschool hauls. Our curriculum will be arriving late July to August

I’m really struggling to find a reading program for my 6 year old. We were doing the good and the beautiful, then we stopped cause I feel like he wasn’t really learning anything. I was looking into Christian light but I’m scared to fail him on reading. English isn’t my first language, some words I pronounce them wrong lol do you recommend to do bju for reading since is online?

I’m really trying to find an engaging Bible curriculum. I’ve heard good things about Christian light education, and almost nothing about abeka, despite their popularity. I would love to see what works for your kids (songs, worksheets, videos, memory verses?) and maybe an example of you teaching a lesson! Thanks for sharing!

Very interested in the AOP Bible and BJU science!!

Looking forward to the deep dives! Great video!

Are you still doing classical conversations as well?

Schoolhouse discoveries looks sooo good

I want Horizons preschool for my 4 year old 😚 Love your choices 🎉 Thank you for sharing ☺️

I have been blown away by CLE math 1 🎉

I just found your channel and that’s a perfect timing!! We are finishing TGTB K and was planning to do 1st grade, but then bought the MUS this week 😅 I’m still going back and forth for next school year 😂

Well they Did Not dumb it down. The curriculum just moved too fast. Because most homeschools were introducing the old TGTB to young 4 year olds who just finished learning how to blend. And it picked up very quickly. Some children were even in first grade when they started to use this curriculum. So it can be a little insulting when you say they've chosen to dump it down.

I loved having a homeschool space... but since we purchased our land we definitely down sized and our RV is our homeschool space now too... and the forest ofcourse! 😅❤ happy I found you on IG with a friend tagging me on one of your reels ... excited to follow your journey!

The previous owner of our home ( florida ) converted the garage into a room too so that's what we use as our playroom /homeschool room ..but we end up using our kitchen island alot ..

We are working on our homeschool room now! Can’t wait to see where downsizing takes you. If you make it to Kansas, let me know bestie! 🫶🏼🥰

We use our dining room table but we do have a nice big shelving unit with drawers, shelves and doors in it all across the wall in the dining area we school in. So that holds all our school and art things and it works good because we just have it all right there. Definitely a small house tho. Anyone can make it work!

Love your content! We homeschool in our living room. We have a sensory bin with lids so we can use it as a desk. I have all my stuff organized in 2 ikea bookshelves but try to keep it minimal.

Love it!!!

We fell in love with CLE this year and are slowly switching all our core subjects over!!

Which writing curriculum would you recommend for kindergarten or first grade?

So every grade subject has 10 workbooks total except for 1st grade with 15 total. How does the pacing work? Does it make it a longer school year?

Where do you order this. What a fun idea

I know you mention you send your kids to an actual VPK school but what if I wanted to start VPK at home which curriculums would you recommend?
