I'm so glad that you use a curriculum that starts "round letters" with the circle. I find it helps transition into cursive super well. Also, I recommend that new students learn letter sounds before they learn letter names. When we read, we only use the letter sounds. It worked well for my family to learn sounds first. Another thing that I love that you are doing is using that dry erase; not so much because of the erasing, but because it helps prevent the scholar from pushing hard on the writing instrument. Lovely work, Jacque!
Thank you so much, Katy! ❤️ He learned the letter names from his siblings. He knew about 24 of them well before we started on reading so I went ahead and made sure he knew all 26. In a perfect world, starting with the sounds is the best way to go.
@@gabyrocha9418 you didn't fail her. You will be surprised how much knowledge they pick up and retain. Just start implementing activities/games start with 1-10. Consistency is key and you'll see the difference
@@gabyrocha9418 I want you to know that all kids learn at different levels. Don’t ever feel bad when u learn something knew it’s not to late to try :). Stay positive 😊
@@gabyrocha9418I bet she’s doing wonderful now! You have time! Give yourself grace. The most important part is your reaching out and looking for solutions.
His tree branches got me 😊❤❤,brilliant thoughts. Thanks for this guidance. I will start with my 4 year child this week. I will improvise most of the craft items because this is Nigeria😅😅, we manage a lot. Thanks for this once. You just gained my subscription.
Well done! Impressive work indeed!Mothers are winners indeed!. A favour please: Can you kindly list the books you showed in this video (is almost the RU-vid video presenters" unstated norm! Haha) and any other best books from your experience so far? I want to check them on Amazon UK. If I may ask, how old is Joshua presently? Lovely, smart boy you're blessed with🏅🙏
I absolutely love your CC videos and your children are precious! Just in case you haven’t figured it out, the chirping is from a low battery in your smoke alarm. 😉
Thank you for the kind words. ❤️ Oh my goodness! I can’t believe you heard the chirping. 😮 I hope it didn’t drive you crazy 🙏. Loud as it is, we have gotten so used to it that don’t hear it any more. For some reason in this house, the chirping doesn’t come from the one that’s low on battery, it comes from all of them so we’ve failed to figure out which one is faulty. We’ve changed all the batteries in all of them and still it chirps.
Hustead’s Homeschool Glimpses We’ve had one that had this same issue that drove us crazy! That’s why I mentioned it, because I kept thinking these poor people have got to be going crazy with that chirping! We ordered replacements that twisted into the the hard wired base, and that fixed our issue.
I have a question, the way in which you are teaching him in this video, did you get from a specific program or did you just kind of piece together your own curriculum for him? I am just getting into homeschooling and researching different types of curricula and it is all so overwhelming. I am thinking of just buying little workbooks like the ones you showed here and getting her started in the best way we can.
That’s all I did when I was still working. I taught my son in the last hour before bedtime and he learned a lot. Do your best, Mama. You will be amazed at how much he picks up. Every little bit counts.
I'm trying to find the books you use and can't find them on Amazon hope u can help. The dry erase ones. Thank you. And your doing amazing. I homeschooling my grandkids now and not really sure where to begin lol
Hi Christine, With homeschooling, just start from where they are. Depending on their age, you find out what they don’t know and you teach it to them until they learn it then you move to the next item. It helps to follow a curriculum. It gives you guidance and structure. If they should be in a certain grade based on their age but you find that they don’t measure up, you use the grade below’s curriculum and slowly move up as they learn. I hope that helps. Let me find a link for those books for you.
Enjoyed it! Thanks for the tips regarding the words flash cards, I was having the same issue with my daughter guessing from the pictures in the BOB books :)
Thank you for watching. No we don’t do all the subjects every day. That would be very hard especially with the littles. You get in what you can. Just try to go over the basics that don’t require table time such days of the week song, counting, months of the year, colors, shapes, letter sounds, etc. You can do those while cooking, playing, taking a walk.... then when you have good days, you make sure to het in table time activities like writing.
It’s a total of 2 hours but not all at once. We do other things that don’t seem like schooling to him but they are. Like me reading to him, memorizing poems and bible verses, painting, etc. yes, he gets TV time but not everyday. We have no hard rule about TV except that it’s a treat and I sneakily guide him to educational shows like Octonauts, Magic School Bus, etc. I hope that helps.
Different times for different ages. When he was 4, we did 2 hours a day and then educational play with puzzles, blocks, pretend play, read aloud to him, cooking, doing laundry, cleaning up, etc.
Consistency. How often are you working on number identification with them? At five, they are still very young to know how to write properly. A little bit of each activity every day will have a compounding effect. Be patient with them since they are only five and be diligent on your part. It will come 🙏
How do you do this without him getting upset with you when you correct him? My daughter will scream and cry, the next thing I know, I don't want to do it. 😓
That’s a very valid question. I wish I had a smart answer for you but I don’t. I try to give him lots of praises so that when I insert a correction, he doesn’t feel too bad. I guess make the correction ever so gentle. Like I now, he writes some numbers facing the wrong way. I give him a check mark ✅ that he is right about the answer but I tell him that they should face the other way.
We have all the sets: set 1-beginner readers; collection 2-advancing beginners and word families; collection 3: compounding words and long vowels; and also the sight words collection- kindergarten and first grade.
If you live near a Costco, they have them at a good deal. I also found these on Amazon: Bob Books Complete Sets Collection (12 Sets) - Set 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Animal Stories, Rhyming Words, Alphabet, Sight Words Kindergarten, Sight Words First Grade, First Stories, Pre-Reading Skills www.amazon.com/dp/B084HP7LL6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_S4EQCNRSDPDYWHEVTFR4
Jessica, he is only 4. Each kid is different. Try breaking the letters up into one at a time until he knows it before moving on to the next one. Make it a game. E.g. hide several letter As with other letters in sand or rice and have him dig them out making two piles:one of letter A and the second of the other letters. Once he masters letter A, move on to letter B with a different game. Also, you could go straight into phonics instead of letter names. That would make him read sooner than if he learns letter names first.
I need you to put me in a program because I’m kind a dumb kind of dumb and it’s kind a hard so how many eight years old and I will be doing hello hello hello hello are you you I wasn’t here with me💙 I would like to do math give me the location on my way tomorrow
