I wanted to let you know Evan Moor is doing a giveaway so if you want a free book you should enter! Even with kids growing up and out of it you should collect the books as a hobby like me.
Thank you for making this. After seeing this I don’t think this approach is going to work well for my child. I feel my six year old would benefit better from something with more direct phonics teaching. Thank you for sharing!
Unfortunately this isn’t real financial literacy due to the fact that taxes r voluntary, and the act of 1933 is still active n cash is fiat not actual currency! Our kids need to learn entrepreneurship not being govt hamsters running in a wheel and growing up to be sheep! This is the main goal of Homeschool n not to instilling public education into them!
You’ll go to their partner site Family Literacy centers at Lexiaforhome.com where you can purchase the reading program per student. At this time, the first student is $175 and each additional student is $110
Please make the flip through and review on the happy cheetah level two!!! I just started the level one prep book with my first grader and I am struggling to understand how this program works. I am about ready to throw in the towel on it as I don’t really see phonics instruction in here. So how is the child set up to learn to read long term without any phonics..? Debating if I need to switch to a more phonics based program or not.
I don’t know much but I will say I don’t think happy cheetah is super phonics based in grade K. They do incorporate the chunking method from Spelling You See but it didn’t feel super phonics heavy. I will totally do a flip though for you.
Your 2nd grader sounds brilliant and advanced! When I was in 2nd grade 2007-08 I hated learning the science curriculum because all we learned was about insects. What you said about Horizons makes me think it would have been perfect for me around 2008
Do I need to buy more stuff for this year.. no, no I don't.. have I spent more than needed this year? Yes , yes I have. Will I check out what you're using, yes, yes I will.. I should not have turned on this video right now, I was cleaning my school room, now I am sitting and watching your beautiful face. ❤❤
It’s funny how a lot of people doesn’t want to work like a “Slave” imagine how the Slaves (the ones stolen from their homeland) today still feeling😮 Overall GREAT VIDEO! Will implement 🌹
I’ve struggled with TGATB science from the beginning. I want to love them, purchase stuff, and then not use most of it. It’s more reading than I like and the workbooks are lacking in my opinion.
@@FullPurposeAndHeart thank you for that honest opinion. I have failed to faithfully do more than pull library books about science topics and watch Mystery Science every Monday and the random Science RU-vid video. I am on the hunt for a family style option. We have done some MB in the past. We have the first 2 of the series you showed. I planned to use it with my younger 2 kids if nothing else worked out, but then the older 2 need something. I will keep praying and waiting on the Lord. Thanks!
I use it for my 9 year old too. I just pick the chapter book or even picture book (he still likes them) and I go off the suggestions in the book and if I need more advanced material then I just Pinterest, look online, or use layers of learning curriculum (kind of like Pinterest all on paper organized) to pick activities.
I love the scope and sequence. Is it per subject or how many spreads does it have for that? I'll be honest-the only reason why I chose Mardel is because they have that scope and sequence by quarter per subjects. I love being able to create the benchmarks but I love your planner layout! I'm excited to try it next time!
I made 2 spreads. One by month and one that are just blank boxes that I’m filling out. I’ll chat more about it in my upcoming “schedule” video! It’s been a great addition for me.
I’ve noticed no Evan Moor books which i know your 7th grader grew out of. I remember the days during the pandemic that you LOVED Evan Moor! I sometimes go back and use Carson Dellosa and Evan Moor books and while working through them I’ve discovered the standard for every grade level as I work through workbooks grades 1-12 out of order since I’m an adult. I hope your 4th grader does well and gets the homeschool equivalent of an A! In the fall I plan on getting some skill sharpeners science 4 and STEAM 4
That is so true. Where did my Evan Moor run go! I had them doing Evan moor during summer months and we’ve done their pocket stuff a ton. I do love Carson Dellosa too! especially their interactive notebooks.
Evan-Moor has a geography skill sharpener 2nd grade book as well that touches base more with certain lessons in geography daily. I currently do both. So my daughter does her 2 questions and an extra page out of the skill sharpener and at the end of the week is an activity.
I love watching children videos they can be very arrogant {pleasing] .I've just finish watching and listening to Primrose I love there forum especially the teacher's encouragement to learn,play and grow up ..Its like developing behavorial style during childhood through teachers and parents
I dont like its expensive people are brainwashed to think its not. 37.00 then adding a journal for 6.99 not cheap. Shipping is rid as well 13.98 for one small book. Also, most that use it are brainwashed like dont say one word against it. They offer free downloads well hello. They are charing others for ur frew down load.
I have had 4 kids on it at once and never had issues and they went through high school. it stats that there is a lot and to only use as much as a paperent thinks their child needs. I never needed to buy anything. As my kids got older they were able to do it all on their own. We also got the games for history. I love the fact that it is nondenominational but still cover very good Christian values. I am a very busy mom that was working , had at least four kids homeschooling at a time, diving my blind husband where he needing and work our farm and still had time for this program. Some days we had lighter school work but for the most part we did school from 8am to 11 am each day, so my kids spent way less time in school than my older kids did before they were homeschooled or in a charter school. So 3 hours with a small break worked great. I still have one kid finishing high school, going to college, and working while using this program and she still has plenty of time to sleep and be on her phone. And none of my kids like school at all and sometimes struggle.
I love this comment so much! I’ve heard so many times that the older levels are far more independent (for obvious reasons). I love your success story, I’m totally considering it for my oldest again. Thank you so much for your perspective.
@@FullPurposeAndHeart The key is it is not made to use everything they set for each day. You only should use what your child and you can handle and /or need. Like our traditional schools here if your child can do everything each day it would be the equivalent to the "Gate " program that is for the A++ students. I hope that helps you. With the kindergarten you should only need to be spending a max of 2 hours on it with it broken into at least 4 parts. With homeschooling on average you should not be spending over half of the time as traditional school spends a day. Here the kids are there 7 hours or 4 for kindergarten. Unless your child loves learning.
I took your tip about the kids starting before me. We started back to school last week and we’re calling it Jump Start! We have a morning slide too! It’s working fantastically!! Thank you!❤
I’m interested to know what the other art is that you’re using? We have Art makes me smart and LOVE it. If the other program is similar I’d love to check it out. 😊
So interesting that you are using Wordly Wise 3 in your loop rotation for everyone! I have it and was thinking of doing the same. Are you thinking of doing it sort of orally where everyone gets a chance to practice? I didnt want to give my kids too much work by giving them each their own to fill in. Im a nerd and love learning new vocabulary 😂
One of the girls that babysits for us on occasion recommended a free website that they use in her public school called Seterra. It's a free geography map quiz game that you can play online. It has world geography and USA geography. My kids like it, so we play it occasionally and they never want to quit, lol! 😅 Free, entertaining=win, win!
I would recommend Barrons The Easy Way for science for your 7th grader: Biology. When it comes to math for your 7th grader, Carson Dellosa 100+ series Prealgebra to Algebra 2 is nice.
Do they include sight words? What did you use to teach sight words, as well as any reader books that would go with learning each phonics rule? We are coming out of using Good and Beautiful Lang Arts, my son is going into 2nd grade but really struggled with Level 1 last year and I think this would work well for him!
It’s been so long since we’ve used this. But to my memory, no. They do not teach sight words. It’s primarily phonics. This curriculum was kind of a bust for us.
It's meant to be one piece of ELA instruction. As a homeschooling mom who is a former teacher but before the Science of Reading became widely known, it's been a great resource for me to see the phonics progression for my younger kids. Helps me know what they need support with, and I can do that support in additional, more hands-on and engaging ways. We recently started and it's helped my middle child stay focused, as he's been struggling working one on one with me. So it's been a great break for him, and it's building his confidence in reading. My oldest is in 4th and a strong reader and strong with comprehension, but am eager to see how this may help with critical thinking and her spelling/phonics knowledge. Ideally the homeschooling parent is sitting next to the child to see firsthand where they are excellling and where they need support. Definitely going to dig into the speeding through grade levels comments you shared, I am hoping that doesn't happen for us!
Absolutely! Well said. We were in a tough season of life and I was misinformed as to the “hands off” nature of this program! So yes. Absolutely best used as one piece of a whole plan.
Thank you for your video it was very much educational. :)) I have a few questions for you pertaining to the summer camps, does it require for the host to have a license/ LLC? How would the host go about applying for a grants to help support the cost of the camp along with the supplies & the helpers for the kids or being based upon medical low income based kids in the community ? Does the camp helpers that i may personally know have to have a background check done before assisting and if so, how would i go about that process?
Good questions. I am not a legal professional nor pretend to understand requirements for all counties in the country. So, I’d say you’ll want to reach out to some community business leaders. My camp I ran was very private/close friends and family so the requirements were different.
When you purchase the physical book is there a site to go to to print the pages for children since it’s on the back of the “teacher” guide or is it meant to be photo copied? Thank you for the review love the spiral books you picked.
