HOMESCHOOLING: Day in The Life End of the Year Review + Declutter ✨📙

[@calliejay8246]

We started the good and the beautiful this last year for preschool and absolutely love it. I had never even thought about homeschooling. I'm so grateful to have found this community of fellow slow living, Christian mamas. I had a terrible public school experience. I was actually feeling extremely anxious as my little ones get older. My oldest is 4 and I just want quality time.

[@danicaboily7964]

I am thinking of starting homeschooling this coming September. I'm also Canadian! I will keep watching your videos, thank you so much!

[@jonid2410]

We are also in Canada and last year was first year homeschooling. I an teaching grade 5 & 3 next year! With two preschoolers. We are using jump math next year, IEW for writing, Mystery of History, and Lifepac Science. All about Reading for my child who is still struggling with reading, and all about spelling. And lots and lots of audiobooks and read alouds!

[@lahwhoseher]

We've been using Masterbooks for language and math (love how simple it is), Generation Genius for science (my kids love the videos and expieriments), and besides that I do unit studies for other subjects. We love Honest History magazines for social studies unit studies. Wishing you guys the best as you get ready for the next year!

[@alenatorres7071]

We love Math w Confidence and All About Reading. Both are solid programs, setting a really good foundation for math and reading. Also, they are fun for my son, and honestly, fun for me to teach.

[@BethanyFontaine]

I’ve been looking into math with confidence! That’s good to hear! 🙂

[@suzannewaldner2074]

Would love to keep seeing more homeschooling videos 😊 I'm still a few years away from starting, but I like hearing about it and learning by example.

[@evawall6471]

We are using Masterbooks for everything at the moment and so far loving it. I will have a 2nd grader and preschooling this coming school year

I'm looking into Rooted in English Pinwheels, Handwriting Without Tears, and Math with Confidence for kindergarten. My son is a lefty and I've seen HWT is great for lefties

[@mrs.jaywojo5426]

Bible Treasures by Amber Bennett has been great for my rising 2nd grader. I love The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts and Math.

[@brittany.powell]

I think you might love Preschool Math at Home by Kate Snow. All play based and uses stuff you have at home. It sets such a good foundation. My son is also three and loves his math book.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

My son is finishing it up! We are changing to the Christian light it’s a little more gentle approach ❤

[@boumadianezineb1260]

Hi, I am a 4 years old mom and I was thinking about homeschooling her and it's when I discovered your channel. And I felt in looooooove with your videos. I am in aoberta too so all the Information you give are valuable and very helpful. I was wondering in which city in Alberta you live?

[@iamellamella]

We have a Yoto too!! Would you mind sharing your kids favourites please? Looking forward to hearing your curriculum choices too! Going into our second year of homeschooling and thinking about changing it up a bit too. Thanks for sharing :)

[@pariskrahn5788]

Bethany I can’t recognize your channel! I like the changes actually ❤ what a sweet mama you are too!

[@victoria_ann]

This will be my second year homeschooling using the good and the beautiful curriculum. I really love it. it's simple and no prep needed which is nice.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

We actually just switched it was becoming overwhelming for my daughter we are starting Christian light! It’s more of a gentle approach ❤❤❤

[@victoria_ann]

@@alittleheavenonearth oh wow really. Well good to know Incase this happens for us. But my daughter blew through the pre k book. Every kid learns so differently that's the nice thing about homeschool.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

@@victoria_ann yes! As they get older it’s definitely different. So did my daughter we are finishing 2 and will Start 3 with the new curriculum. And it helps as well because it’s more affordable ❤️ no shipping fees

[@lalabrooke2275]

[@captain7471]

We will be staying with Abeka phonics and trying Math With Confidence to change things up a bit

[@creativecuriouslearning]

New subscriber! I’m also a Canadian homeschool mom. This video was great, I can so relate to a lot of what you said on the why’s of homeschool 😊 I also have a KZbin channel where we share our homeschool journey. Love finding other homeschool moms especially Canadians to connect with and learn from. 😊

[@ggirls352]

Just subscribed to you! Your content is so real, genuine and authentic. Very relatable!✨️ 🙌

[@ohreally912]

Started homeschooling on Monday .No clue what I'm doing but we have had a great week with some reading, writing and lots of art.# and Swimming. I keep hearing about deschooling. . Would you reccommend this ?

[@BethanyFontaine]

That’s amazing! Unschooling can be a style of homeschooling and I definitely recommend looking at different homeschool styles to see which one you align with the most!

[@ggirls352]

We deschooled before beginning an unschooling approach. Definitely recommend!

[@annaneustaeter2333]

May i ask which curriculum you used and what you're considering? Im looking at doing Christian Light Education as it seems to be very beginner friendly.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

We are just switching to the Christian light! It is definitely a more gentle approach and a lot more affordable ❤❤❤ we were using good and the beautiful

You cant continue to teach your children after kindegarden because you dont have the expertice to do so. Its allrigth the first three or four years, but when they are getting older they need people who have a proper teaching education. If you want to homeschool, you should at least let your children take the standardized tests so you know where they are compared to children in public schools. Otherwise you do your children a great disservice. They will really struggle with higher education if they dont have the right foundation.

[@BethanyFontaine]

I believe you need to give your child a strong educational foundation and I believe that parents who are committed to their children’s education can do this. I am schooling my children to work towards getting a high school diploma which is important. Parents can get help from teachers for tougher subjects as they grow. It’s possible! 🙂

[@moirasoma2863]

@@BethanyFontaine Sounds good!

[@ReynasGarden]

This is actually a huge misconception. Homeschooling now is easier than ever and lots of the curriculum used is actually more advanced than standard school. Most homeschool curriculum is open and go which makes it easy to teach not to mention all of the resources they offer. ;) If you think back to your school years, your teachers were reading out of a book and providing tests that were prepared from the state.

[@ggirls352]

That's what "shared responsibility" is that she is doing. A teacher teaches the core subjects. It's basically part time school, not home school.

[@familyunity70]

I wonder why home educated children out perform public school children academically. I wonder why? I mean, parents don’t have the educational backbone to teach and yet the kids are well equipped. Children receive one-on-one instruction, which is definitely not an advantage. I mean it’s way better to have one teacher teach a group of 25+ students with constant interruptions (that’s quality education right there). Meanwhile home educated children receive one-on-one tutoring from private tutors, music, volunteering opportunities, attend college earlier, exposed to a lot more socialization from various age groups but public school is the way to go, right? (I’m being sarcastic here) 😂 I wonder 💭 why so many universities and colleges prefer home schooled children now and days, maybe because they are well prepared by working independently, organized, plan ahead, and more mature. Meanwhile many in Chicago and other states have a lot of public school children destroying the community. It’s time to wake up. “Home Educators” make this world a better place, period.

[@pariskrahn5788]

I am using Logos curriculum. We almost went wish Classical Conversations, but with moving we weren’t sure where we’d be. CC is partially co-op based with weekly meeting. I love the classical education model because it’s a private school level of education, very book heavy, and it teaches your child how to learn information, and speak it persuasively. I used to love unschooling and charlotte mason too because it’s very nature and literature based. I noticed those have a friendlier atmosphere and good pace for your child too. 🌼🪺🌱
