THANK YOU!!!! Your videos are wonderful! I have learned so much from ALL your videos. I will certainly be looking up all these resources! Especially the Catechism reference. May you, your family and all your subscribers be abundantly BLESSED with a shower of heavenly graces! You are always on my prayers!

[@AmyJBrowne]

I’ve watched a ton of homeschool for pre-K/K videos and by far yours is the best. Concise and well thought out recommendations. Thanks for sharing.

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Thanks so much! I'm so happy to help!

[@shereecrone6370]

We love the New City Catechism! The songs are so great, I’ve been amazed how my kids including my 3 year old have absorbed not just the songs but what they mean.

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Sheree Crone that’s great! Thanks for sharing!

[@EducationalRoots]

We are using Kindergarten Math with Confidence too! I have a video on it. I ❤️ it so much!

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Educational Roots oh that’s great! I’ll check it out :)

I have a 5 year old daughter and I decided to homeschool her last week. I am going to teach her kindergarten, but I have no idea where to start, what books to buy, etc. This video is a good start for me. Thank you.

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Oh! I’m glad you are here, Erika! 💗 I wrote a guide to help people just like you get started homeschooling- if you’re interested I would be happy to help! You can learn more here: www.joyfulnoiselearning.com/ready-set-homeschool/

We are so excited to use Math With Confidence! Great curriculum picks thank you for sharing.

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

B Rod that’s awesome!

[@PursuingPeace]

Memory work is SO GOOD! We do CC so I totally get the spongy brains thing at this age. ❤🤓 Great picks! Yes! Whatever you choose will be a great one! ❤

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Thank you!! I like CC too! I guess I didn’t mention that :) I just use the memory work and adapt it to what we are doing.

[@kailynolson2281]

Did you happen to ever do peaceful press nurturing nature kindergarten? It's tempting me, I like the idea of only one book/unit at a time, between that and gather round letters and numbers...

[@linseyk5728]

It was between TGTB Primer and AAR1 for us too... I decided to go with AAR... For that age, with the time we have together, I wanted to focus on reading and I think AAR does it the best!! (I've also done it with my oldest) The added focus on grammar and other things can taught in other ways or when they are a few years older.. AAR sent me a very helpful message about grammar and how the focus on reading is important at that age.

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Linsey K that’s very true! I think I am leaning that way like you are. Thanks for your input!! It helps a lot 💗

[@jlfields88]

Hi! Thanks for the great video. :-) Can you share what letter work/activity your son was using on the floor in the beginning of this video? Thx!

[@rollingwiththerouses3918]

They really are like little sponges! I've been looking into before five in a row and five in a row. Have you done any of them before?

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Rolling with the Rouses I did the Before Five in a Row books last year with my youngest and with each of my kids when they are 4 and 5. I haven’t bought their teacher’s guide before, but I may do it for this More Before Five in a Row. We love it! Super simple. :)

[@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

I used it last year and liked it! My daughter enjoyed lots of the activities and we lapbooked some of them with things I found on HomeschoolShare.com and TpT etc. 😀

[@berrypatch5583]

For fun he may enjoy the Rod and Staff preschool workbooks.

[@kimmycakes81]

Do you think it can be an easy transition to start out with Kate Snows math and then in a few years go to Right Start Math? My older child is a year ahead of what Kate Snow has to offer so is in RS math, and I'm not sure if it would be too confusing to start my younger one on something different.

[@abundanceintheson_316]

Hi! I watched your 2nd grade curriculum and was super excited to hear Kate Snow has her own Math Curriculum (As we loved her "Facts that stick" series). I have changed up my original plans for my Kindergartener's math. We were going to go with stuff I made up myself paired with Easy Peasy all in one Getting Ready 2 Math (which is their Kindergarten). This was because I couldn't find a math book that did all I wanted. I found either they were too advanced or too simple for our needs. Plus, as you mentioned I wanted hands on math/real life and games in math without going into 100$ price. Easy Peasy has the games which is great and paired with Kate Snow's Math with Confidence, now I feel very very excited for Math for my Kindergartener!!! Soooo, thank you for making me aware of this curriculum!!!! We are doing "Handwriting without Tears". She has loved this series. She picked it up off the shelf and started on her own when she was 4. So we are just continuing with what works. As for "reading", I plan to use Sherry K. Hayes free reading program from her website: Momdelights.com I love how she includes games :) Then she does group studies with us that include all memory work, poetry, picture books, ReadAloud chapter books, Science, History, Geography, A.S.L & Latin, drawing & crochet....Ballet when we feel like it....etc. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Merry Learning Academy oh this is great!! I’m glad I could share that with you! I love Kate Snow’s Resources too! I have not heard of Momdelights! I need to check it out 🥰💜

[@abundanceintheson_316]

@@JoyfulNoiseLearning Momdelights.com is a great resource!!!! She has a lot of free material and she is super encouraging for me as a mother and homeschooler. We are also using her free assignment sheet printables and handwriting/lesson pages that are free (for my oldest who is in 2nd grade).

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

@@abundanceintheson_316 I just checked her stuff out, and holy cow, it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. I want to see how I can incorporate some of these resources :)

[@sandraruiz4737]

Did you finish more before? Thinking about using it with my middle 2 who have already done beforeFIAR.

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

Yes, it was wonderful!! ☺️☺️

[@stellaanddominic284]

What did you decide to use for reading? We are homeschooling my daughter and really need a new curriculum for readying since she seems to be struggling. I’ve heard good things about both TGATB and AAR. Curious what you picked?

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

I feel like he is not ready for AAR actually, SOOO I just ordered TGTB Primer. I just got an email that it was misprinted and I have to wait a few more weeks for it, but we’ll start it in January. I will probably try AAR next year when he is six. My 7 year old did AAR 1 when he was 6 and he is now in AAR 2 and it’s working great :)

What did you think of Math with Confidence?

[@JoyfulNoiseLearning]

I LOVE IT! I don't want to use anything else, other than Right Start possibly. :)

Hi Corinne! I remember you :) I actually was your secret KZbin Sister last year when we did the box swaps. I am SO sorry I fell off with that! Please forgive me. We moved to a new State and I quit KZbin for a few months. It was an honor to bless you for a few months :) I hope you are doing well! Thanks for stopping by.
