Have a great school year!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

Thank you 💕

Love your channel, been here since last summer. Just wondering why you’re using another spelling curriculum 😊 I’m always looking to see what would work for my girl best too. I’m just afraid to switch and throw her off track if that makes sense. We are getting ready to start AAR level 3 and I was going to grab all about spelling level 1. I might be interested in this spelling you’re using though ❤

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

Awww thank you for being here 💕 I didn’t like the AAS format. I felt like it was too wordy and it felt more like a chore than something enjoyable to use. We ended up just disregarding all the rules and going off the spelling list. I’m hoping this one will be more engaging. We love AAR though!

[@schultesweeties]

Excited to hear how you like Apologia!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

Can’t wait to use it!

[@CalmintheChaosHomeschool]

That home science kit sounds so fun!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

I’m hoping it will be!

We are using apologia math 2 this year as well. We used level 1 last year and we loved it! My son always looks forward to doing math lessons 😊

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

That’s so good to hear! I hope we love it the same way

I actually love and use Masterbooks math. I think it's so fun. My son is great in math and it is enough for us. If he needs extra practice I just adjust. I can see how it would be a great added practice to another curriculum. Thanks for the video. I loved the video you shared on the herbal curriculum! I would love a review once you complete it!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

Yes! I have plans to do a review I believe when we are half way through the year. My son did grade 2 and 3 in masterbooks and I feel so silly for ever leaving them.

We love AAR even tho we switched and we switched to make it work for us!!! We don’t mind if a grammar curriculum isn’t a yr especially as we do it slowly!!! We love creative writing and journaling till high school!!! We do write assignments for other subjects instead of for language arts!!! It counts as writing as we teach writing and then they write as they write!!! We did masterbooks level 4 math last year with a middle schooler who had gaps!!! It helped my kid with math gaps!!! We are doing church history this year i think as we may need to switch!!! We do health every year but not daily!!!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

MB math is amazing! So glad it worked for you all. Love that you use all the writing from other curriculums as your writing. That makes so much more sense to do!

[@JennyThompson-rl1fq]

We use MB math and during first grade I was concerned about skills taught, so we did Apologia Math 1 and they line up exactly, but just taught differently.

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

I love this feedback! Thank you!

[@JessieTBRoverflowing]

We will also be using Spelling Connections and Apologia Math for my twin 2nd graders. I am interested to hear how your daughter likes Bible Heroes!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

Curriculum besties! Haha

[@amies8203]

Hi, do you have an update on how Apologia math is going?

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

We’re about a week and a half into the book and like it so far. It’s very to the point

The baby carrier is the only way my baby will get a good nap!!! 😅

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

@@joidavis5210 💯 contact naps are basically our only naps!

[@joidavis5210]

@@HomegrownHomeschool Yes!

[@joidavis5210]

Yes to laminating!!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

@@joidavis5210 THANK. YOU! 🤣 some have tried to make me feel crazy for doing that and I’m like I’ve got too many kids to not laminate 🤣

[@joidavis5210]

​@@HomegrownHomeschool Same here!!! 😂

[@StephanieMT]

Also great for kid to practice the skill over again

[@homeschoollifemom]

I didn’t even know if I would be reusing with other kids and I laminated all the cards. I wish so badly I would have made the whole curriculum reusable. I didn’t think of it or see people doing it back when I got it.

[@CalmintheChaosHomeschool]

Ok… the blood drawing kit sounds awful 😅

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

@@CalmintheChaosHomeschool 🤣 it’s gonna be SO cool!
