I’m a first time viewer here. I have to just say I love listening to you. You just talk like you’re talking to a friend. I love your personality and your comments. You’re so honest. I’m subscribing. “It’s not all about the kids.” Haha yes. Love it.

@lifeinthetrenches Месяц назад

Thanks for subbing! I'm so happy to have you be a part of my world!

@MamaNatalieSan 5 месяцев назад

“Our worth is not dependent on what scores we get on the tests” Love that. We too, are a charter homeschool in Cali. We are SoCal. Just found your videos. Happy Homeschooling.❤

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

I used to have that quote posted in my classroom. I saw way too many kids burnout or have anxiety attacks in middle school and high school. Thanks for watching!

@kamehaz 4 месяца назад

@mamanataliesan homeschooling with a charter in SoCal too! Hi!!

@amandamendoza4181 5 месяцев назад

Your videos are always so fun to watch. Grew up in central Cali and it will always be home to me!❤

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Glad you enjoy them! I try to not make them too boring 😂

@Randibunny 4 месяца назад

Dude if Morgan freeman read all the school books it be way more fun 😂

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

If only!

@schultesweeties 5 месяцев назад

Fun unboxing! We are in a public virtual school in Indiana (sounds similar to your charter school) and so thankful for it! It has been a huge blessing for our family!

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Yes, it has saved us a TON of money!

@Randibunny 4 месяца назад

That’s really nice cuz I took my kids out of public school started to homeschool I have bout $3,000 worth of curriculum this year for 4 kids but we don’t have to do the testing it gives my kids anxiety so I’d rather them not have to but we are in Texas

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

So expensive, but I guess way cheaper than private school! FYI - there's a homeschool curriculum resell group on Facebook if you ever want to get rid of your old curriculum, and if you find a homeschool community you vibe with, they often have exchanges or used sales.

@ERose49 4 месяца назад

Great video❤. Would look forward to watching your video on how to homeschool in California. Would be so helpful.

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Coming soon! And thank you for watching 🥰

Do you have to send anything back when you use the charter funds? I’m surprised to hear you have to buy books at their age level. With homeschooling, the point is that we can meet them where they’re at. Like my 6 year old needs pre k language curriculum and books because she’s having trouble learning to read still but she’s doing second grade math. We get funding in Arizona too. It’s about 8K per year and we don’t send any back, no age level on books, just can’t be for adults. No state testing, etc. it’s been so helpful!! I’m glad there are options in other states too! It’s just interesting to hear the rules of all the different ones.

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Wow, that's A LOT of $$$! I'm interested in the different homeschool rules around the country and world as well. Thank you for sharing about Arizona! In California, we get about $3600 per year (this varies from charter school to charter school), more for high schoolers. We have the freedom to choose books, curriculum, and resources that meet our kids' needs and are not grade level dependent. We have to return non-consumable items that are still in good condition when our kids graduate or leave the charter school. As for the Amazon Bookshelf funds (about $200/year), we are able to keep what we purchase but are limited to the grade level. I use our funds for classes, field trips, and consumable resources. I opt to purchase our curriculum out of pocket so I don't have to worry about returning them.

My son was with Blue Ridge since 1st grade..he finished 8th grade and I file a PSA so he left the school and they ask for 3 things back, a book, a 3d printer and can't remember what else..

@andread8093 4 месяца назад

Loved this haul video and your voice. Very glad to find your video. I’m also homeschooling at CA, and my kid went to CAVA(K12 virtual school) since 2rd Grade after COVID. Recently, we sat down and talked if she wants to continue CAVA or go back to traditional school, or try something else. She is doing great at CAVA, just feels bored most time. And she is turning 5th grade this fall, and we are looking for alternative options for her schooling. I would love to hear more info related to CA homeschooling options and resources. ❤ Thanks in advance!

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Thank you 🥰 We have a lot of choices here in California! I will definitely make a video about it in the future, but you can find independent study charter schools serving your area by visiting this site: www.cde.ca.gov/ds/si/cs/ap1/imagemap.aspx Some of the charters offer in-person classes, or like ours, will pay for classes offered by homeschool vendors. My kids take art, LEGO engineering, and are part of a local self-directed learning program. You can also inquire to see if your local school district offers alternative programs. Also, the CHN is a good resource: www.californiahomeschool.net/ And I love that you ask your daughter what she wants to do! I ask my kids at the end of every school year if they want to continue with homeschooling, go to public school, or try something new.

YES finally a biracial - Asian homeschooler in California. I’m Chinese and am interested all you have to share. You’ve gained a new subscriber :)❤

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Awesome! Thank you! And 🙌🏼 to you and all the Asian, biracial, & multiracial homeschoolers out there 🎉

@carm1030 5 месяцев назад

We’re in Ca with the heartland charter school. We got a grant this year on top of the other money. A extra thousand dollars, just had to be spent on curriculum only. Not extracurricular activities but it was awesome to get most next years things already. This is our first year with them so not sure how often the grants come around.

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

Nice! Curriculum can get expensive, especially if you have more than one kid or teens.

Loved your messages at the end when you were making your bed ❤ I needed that 🥹 Also, you’re right, the goth/punk in me has never left as well 😂 ps. Great haul! I want that oven now. Oooh and where did you get that gorgeous fan in your room?! 🤩

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

I've been using the Wonder Oven a ton! The fan is Vornado Vintage Pedestal Fan - it's way cheaper on Amazon now than when I first bought it! amzn.to/4aFl5az

@RockSimmer-gal4God 5 месяцев назад

Nothing wrong with outside play!!! Stationary is always needed and I stock up on it!!! My planner starts in March as well!!! We had to switch state as my work allows us to homeschool thru Hawaii as that’s where the company is based and our government is making homeschool difficult!!! My company requires a lot of ppl to travel so they encourage homeschooling for that reason!!! We have a convention oven and we love it!!!

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

How cool that your company encourages homeschooling!

@beyondthebookshomeschool 4 месяца назад

New subscriber & loved this video. How old is your son that reads Rick Riordan? My son is a huge fan too and has read so many of those titles also. I am like you, we generally borrow from the library because they take up so much space, but I did buy him a 4 box set for Christmas. I agree with your thoughts on state testing. Our children are so much more than the results. We homeschool in New York and it is highly regulated here. We have a few options for testing, but I still don’t like having to test them. Your aprons are so cute!!

@lifeinthetrenches 4 месяца назад

I'm loving the aprons, but I keep forgetting to wear them 😂 My son is 12 and is reading Riordan’s books aloud to his 8 year old brother. It's a win-win AND gives my voice a break. And it'd be nice if we didn't have to test, but 🤷🏻‍♀️
