That "Word of the Day" book looks so fun!

[@mama-yael]

😁 I was sooo so excited to find it!! 🥰😊

[@TheJhchildress]

Thank you for showing a flip through of all the books! So helpful!

[@mama-yael]

Hi Jamie! My pleasure 😊. I plan to go into more detail with the boxed curriculum sets (Logic of English and Singapore Dimensions math) really soon!

[@thedavisfamily3301]

Hi I love this so much first of all! I know this was a few years ago, but could you post a video of how you weekly plan with so many resources?

[@mama-yael]

Hey mama! Thank you so much ☺️. Sadly, I had to stop homeschooling because of work 😕. While I don’t plan for homeschooling anymore, I am actually teaching. I’m finding that the most important thing to do first is setting learning goals which could be skill based or gaining understanding of a topic or concept. Planning around that first will guide what resources and materials to use each week. I hope that helps!

Love maze books!! My favorite homeschool kind of puzzles! 💕💕

[@mama-yael]

YESSS!!! I’m hoping to set out more little books like that for her to do. I’m thinking of incorporating kids’ sudoku or something like that.

[@EducationalRoots]

Love your choices!

[@mama-yael]

Thank you! I’m looking forward to seeing how everything works out. Now, I’m in the middle of figuring out a new routine to rotate learning with these resources.

I’m actually going to pull out my kindergartner next week. I’m super nervous but I know it’s for the best. I really don’t feel like he’s getting much out of the public school system.

[@mama-yael]

Oh wow mama! I know that's a super hard decision to make, but it's good that you're doing it so early in his schooling. I'm praying the transition is smooth for your and your son.💜

My kids love looking at maps! The “word of the day” book looks like so much fun!

[@mama-yael]

I was so so glad to find that book 😊. There’s another one I had my eye on, but it was so much more expensive and the illustrations were a little to eccentric for me.

[@chrystalzap]

THE sight words and spelling is coming in the mail from Amazon, so i was very excited to hear your review! ill let you know how we like it!

[@mama-yael]

That’s awesome!! Yes, please let me know how it works for you! 😊👍

[@user-zn3sw8xc7p]

I love everything you shared. Where can we find these books? Are most of them on Amazon?

[@mama-yael]

Hello! I’m glad to hear it was helpful 😊👍. Yes, a lot can be found on Amazon, but there are other sites as well. I think I might have put the links in the description, so check that out and let me know if you are able to access them! Happy, homeschooling 😊

[@peachy_reina]

Did you use teacher's manuals for dimensions?

[@mama-yael]

I used them all of 2 sec when I first tried the curriculum 😬. The teachers guys have been updated so that it says one for homeschoolers specifically so I think those will be a lot more helpful now than what I was working with before.

[@citizenm9590]

My kid is behind she can do two words but connecting three and four words is a challenge. Any recommendation?

[@mama-yael]

Hi! Do you mean phrases? Like “The cat sat”?

[@rachellaurie5700]

@@mama-yaelprobably three- or four- letter words?

[@mama-yael]

@@rachellaurie5700 sorry for the delayed response. I'm helping my son with 3-letter CVC words right now, and what seems to help is using a few consonant and vowel combinations at a time with the same endings. So when we do the "-at" ending, he sounds it out so he knows what it is, then we add another beginning sound so he can make a new word like "b-at" or "c-at". Alphabet cards help A TON with this!

[@MuhammadAli-2019]

Can you send me in PDF?

[@mama-yael]

Not at this time, apologies!
