HI there! So happy you've found us. We're a Florida family - Vince (dad), Lisa (mom), Julian (son) and Grayce (daughter) that are together ... alot. We homeschool our kiddos and have found many of our lessons of learning come from being in the kitchen. Both the kids love to cook and bake daily! We love adventuring outdoors (mostly to the beach!) and discovering more of Florida we haven't seen yet. Come along with us as we give you a look into what a homeschooling family looks like in the everyday.
Hi! I'm a new subscriber! I was reading your bio and love what you're about. This is what I would like our homeschool to look like and working towards it. 🙏☺️
I was just searching your page a couple of days ago looking for a new video! So glad you're back! We are also in a season of lots going on. I know God's plan is much bigger than ours, but I'm not liking these growing pains. We also started a co-op this year. Parents have to volunteer and I am not a fan. 😆 Luckily, I am more of an assistant rather than the main teacher. My kids have loved it, so I guess that's worth it, right? 😂
Oh wow - I’m in good company then with having a full plate. I keep telling myself it’s just a season and soon enough things will slow down. Dah! Lucky you - I wouldn’t mind being the assistant at all 😅 Being the lead teacher even 3x though is just not my jam. Glad to hear yours is working out well for you guys so far!
If your looking for something easier for language arts we do easy grammar for grammar and then we use Evan moor for reading comprehension. I have heard that good and beautiful can be a lot. The readers are good
Thanks for the tip. It has for sure been a lot - we actually switched to something else after just 2 months of using it. I'm going to do a video on what we switched to, but I'll definitely keep that Easy Grammar in mind in case it doesn't work out.
Great about watching world news & discussing it..I do this anyway, with my kids, but I have a zoom meeting soon & love this to add to their curriculum for our zoom meeting for approval.
I need one of those carts!! We gave up on ours because we have carpet haha so the wheels gave out. Binders! They’re awesome to control the paper clutter! Awesome list! Very helpful 😊
We are trying Not Consumed bible studies this year as well, we are starting with the sibling conflict one 😅 we are also looking for an art curriculum, I've heard good things about masterbooks art curriculum but haven't looked into it much.
Definitely using Nature Studies for science it is the best! FTLOH!! I also use, don't know if you've heard of Treehouse Schoolhouse, she is amazing as well!❤ O and FTLOH has a freebie available right this moment, Girl I just finished printing it: a whole pack of life cycle posters!! I love these and the anatomy ones. THSH has a freebie as well week 2 of the Autumn nature study curriculum. So beautiful, all of it.
I have heard of her! I follow her on IG. She’s got some amazing products. If this doesn’t keep working so well for us, I’ll definitely give her items another look over. ☺️
We are also doing FTLOH this year for nature study / science, but we haven’t started yet!!! This is so awesome, I haven’t had a chance to look at all the materials yet, we are actually on vacay ourselves in your beautiful state currently. from MI 🏝️☀️
When you say things happened in the public schools that you weren't happy about... know that millions of other parents in the U.S. (and probably in other countries too) feel the exact same way right now. I'm not a mother (hoping to become one, though), but my sister's kids are in public schools and I worry terribly for them for a long list of reasons. I think public schools poisoned her oldest son who is now 21. I went to public schools myself but I graduated in 2007 and things weren't quite as bad back then. It was rough, but survivable. I know there are good teachers, principals and other school staff out there and I feel bad for them, too, for what they have to deal with in their schools now.
@@andersonseveryday Oh yes I've heard things about private schools, too, but I think public schools tend to be worse. I don't want to go into details, but my oldest nephew (the one I mentioned) is living a very ungodly lifestyle and I believe public schooling is part of what did that to him. Probably not the only reason, but a good chunk of it I believe. They teach so many things contrary to the bible in public schools and it's only getting worse over time. Some of it was there in the early 2000s when I was in school but it was more subtle then and it was more suggested than shoved in your face like it is now. And safety in schools is problem now, too with all of these shootings, bullying and kids killing each other. It's sickening.
What do your kids listen to their audio books or podcast on while they are doing chores? My 7 year old has a tablet but it would be hard to carry it around while he is doing chores.
Great recommendations! I would love to see a flip through of the nature study and info about monthly details. As for art right now we follow kids art hud on RU-vid and love it!
We also do GR USH! We do 1 per year for the past 3 years. It’s SO good. We add field trips and books and movies. We always get the coloring pages and mp3 stories. I think that starts in ush 2. ❤
