Looking into doin this with our G&B curriculum too! Loved your informative video. I am just wondering about how many ink cartridges you go through printing the books?

As a fellow homeschool mom of 3 going into our 3rd year homeschooling, this was really sweet and honest and realistic! Great to hear a down to earth perspective.

Would this be helpful without using math with confidence? Currently using Singapore dimensions but would love something to help specifically with times tables

Doing Abeka K and it’s working brilliantly, their phonics is so solid. My boy likes the games and activities. In the K program they emphasize initial blends (rather than word families, like fan, can, man) and I’m still just so impressed with how fluent my child is as a result. No painful sounding out words. It’s a traditional classic for a reason.

If we have done up to 1st TGTB, would you switch to 2nd grade MWC? Do they match or well or will my kids miss stuff switching over from one to the other? Do I need to go back with 1st grade MWC?

Oo, I’ve been so excited for this video! Thank you for sharing. I’m hoping to use the program over our summer, before heading into 3rd grade.

Really needed to hear this❤

Thanks for sharing this wonderful resource!!! Quick math question! Does MWC get less teacher intensive and more student independent in the older levels? We LOVE MWC but with soon six kids and a newborn I wonder how I will keep up with it.

Oh my goodness i needed this. Thanks mam.

What size spiral coils would you recommend for the workbook?

Would you recommend doing this program before starting level 3 mwc or wait until after they learned it in mwc and are struggling ?

I like that you can keep going if they struggle!!! We haven’t used this curriculum but we’ve had issues with multiplication and used math game!!! I’m going to look at the 3rd level as I have a kid struggling with 11s and 12s!!!

Thanks for sharing this resource! I have an upcoming third grader using MWC so I will keep this in mind.

Thank you so much for your help! Just followed!

As a homeschooling mom of 3 kids, 3, 5 and 8 years old, I can completely relate. Thank you for the beautiful video!

I definitely needed to hear these! Starting this year my son with his first year homeschooling and we are very excited but I had all these things you mentioned going on! Thank you for giving me some clarity and just the motivation.

I was watching you back in 2019 when you started homeschooling and my eldest was just born! Now I’m starting homeschool with him 😊 so glad you’re still here posting!

Excellent advice 🙌

Im 34 and hope after fibroids are removed that ill have kids i want 4 kids

I tried to put in my email but didn’t see a place to input it from your link

I totally agree about picking the style! Unfortunately it's a common piece of advice. I think researching styles also makes you feel like you have to be an expert... but that's why we've got curriculum in the first place so we don't have to be experts! 🙂

I’m glad we left out morning time till we got in a flow!!! I work with athletes who are deciding to take their kids on their travels and they are loving homeschooling and I see even tho they are new to homeschool they pass on their passion for the sports and I see the kids socialising!!! I’m glad we de schooled and I advise ppl I work with to de school!!! I said I’d never be a classical homeschooler and we are classical homeschoolers!!!

Love this! Thank you!

Great video!

Yes! The idea that my child is going to be weird because I homeschool. Ok, and...?? Why do we all need to fit this cookie cutter idea of what a human should be? We study these great thinkers and inventors and doers, praising them for their contributions to society without acknowledging that so many of these people would now be and were then considered "weird". Our society functions when we have differences. It's GOOD to have people who are weird and quiet or eccentric and wild! We all have our strengths and we all have our weaknesses and we should lean on one another for that reason. It blows my mind that people are so against homeschooling because the one homeschooled family they grew up with that were socially awkward 🤦‍♀️ Doesn't matter that their parents were probably that way, which is why the kids ended up that way. Nothing to do with the act of homeschooling itself....Anyway, I'll step off my soapbox now 😂

Would you suggest adding other materials to all about reading for a second grader that’s having trouble with reading confidence? I want to do all about reading to help him get solid but I feel like if I’m just doing all about reading maybe I am not doing enough for language arts.

We used All About Reading with our boy for grade 1 and 2. By the middle of grade 2 it wasn’t hard work for him. Sort of like your daughter. She’ll get it eventually.🎉

This was super helpful!! Thank you!!

As a mom of 5, let me say that being busy with 3 is the same as being busy with 5. It's really that much harder to add one more, or two more ... I know you said you're done, but let me assure you that if you want one more, you won't regret it.

Oh I loved Adventures with Waffles! I cried so many times!! Thank you for sharing your homeschooling wisdom. I definitely love following along other homeschooling mommas❤️

How can I get my print copies I purchased spiral bound? Seems like it would make using this so much easier.

Thank you for the detailed flip through! We use a lot of the same materials as you so I’m excited to add one of these to our family.

What's your accent? American? Australian? NZ?

I have partnered with The Critical Thinking company for my channel too and they are definitely so generous

Beautiful and so encouraging! Thank you ❤️ (Love your accent!)

First off thank you you so much for your videos. They have helped me in my homeschooling process with my kiddos. Soo Soo grateful. I may have missed it but what LA does your son use. And if it's not Abeka, can I ask why you have a different one for him?

You should look into the instruction book called reading pathways the first two thirds of the book teaches reading fluency and the last third works on improving vocabulary. It is not a book to be done just in one year but to be done over multiple years.

Which binder do you use for printing pdf sources please?

Your hair looks gorgeous!

You are so balanced in your approach to education. Iove that!!!!! I'm an older homeschool mom of six. Two graduated, one in his career and one college, I will have two high schoolers, one jr high and one elementary left in the home. Thank you for encouraging moms!!!!

Yes to times tales!! 🎉🎉 Game changer for my daughter with dyslexia and dyscalcula! I hear you on temps (and sunshine)! If it's not sunny, I want to hibernate. I'm looking into light therapy lamps. Some ppl swear by them. Great job hanging in there through the hard times👍

We sometimes go slower on morning virtues especially when we are burned out!!! Nothing wrong with taking a break from the extras!!! I feel like multiplication needs extra work!!! I’ve found that wiv all my kids!!! We love MVC!!! I have girls naturally good at math!!! I read the back of a book my teenager wanted to buy and I said you can as long as you know that’s not how you behave!!! We love guest hollow science and we love it!!!

Spring and Fall are my times too. When I'm too hot or cold it's harder to do all the things. ❤ looking back at the year I can see this.

Everybody wants something for nothing. ;) Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to hear what you're using for science next year.

Half-year?! That seems crazy! I know you do Jan to Dec (which makes so much sense!) so June would be half way. haha! That's just crazy because it does seem like you just did your curriculum videos. We are taking more of a summer than I ever have...just because I need it. I am thankful for this flexibility.

I am just like you autumn and spring I feel and do my best! I would love to see about your science and overall thoughts and what you’re changing to, I’m science professional before homeschooling too and was going to try Sonlight for K.

I love how you styled your hair in this video! Thank you for the video. I love your videos and have been blessed by them. Have a blessed day!

I have been a history professor for 27 years, the best students I had were homeschooled. I have been so impressed that started to share all my lectures as a free resource to help homeschoolers. Shortly after that many homeschooling families asked me to create unit studies as well. Which I have also done, but I have always kept the lectures free to help homeschoolers.

What would you need from Abeka to teach a first grader to read? All my child knows is the uppercase and lowercase letters and the first sounds they all make.
