I’m so touched by how you understand your sons’ learning processes and help just enough for them to succeed but, I imagine, to still feel independent ❤ We homeschool year round (my kids insist) and one of them is using Moving Beyond the Page. He enjoys it so much- well with the exception of the art/crafts aspect so we modify that. He uses CTC Math which he says he will ‘always’ use. He enjoys a lot of structure. My other son is a didactic learner so he forges his own path. Currently he’s fully immersed in the Spanish language and all his studies for other subjects are in Spanish - except for math which he uses Denison and CTC Math for. Oh and coding which so far is in English. He devours all things geography, history and cultures too. So both are enjoying this 7th grade year which will soon be 8th grade! Thanks again for your videos. They’re always extremely informative and helpful x
Oh, I bet you'd like them! (And thanks for commenting about them, I forgot to add my link!) They run a sale every Wednesday off one book, 50% off I think. I was JUST thinking about your mama yesterday. How is she doing?
@@TheHomeschoolBreakroomI love how everything is set up for you. My mom is doing so good. She is responding to treatment well. She has 4 more treatments to go.
I just purchased Boys in the Boat for my son to read over the summer then the next morning saw an email for 50% off the literary adventure unit for it so we finally dove in and bought one to try. I have been eyeing them for a while, but have never heard anyone talk about them. I am excited to hear you enjoyed it and how many side trails they include, we love those too! I am really looking forward to checking it out more bow for when we are ready to start it! I am going to check out Math Without Borders for my rising 8th grader! He gets sooooo annoyed if things take too long to explain. He understands math quickly and wants to get to it, but also likes a physical book to reference when needed. This might be a good fit for him, and one we havent checked out yet!
Oh, I hope you love Boys in the Boat. I listened to the adult version of the book several years ago. I can't believe how captivated I was by the story but I binged through it! If you haven't seen the movie yet, it is streaming now. The movie is fantastic, too. If Math Without Borders doesn't seem like a great fit, Mr. D is very concise, too. There's no textbook, though. We also have an old Jacob's Algebra book that is concise.
@@TheHomeschoolBreakroom he tried Mr D and for some reason he did not like it. My other son is thriving with it. So, we were glad Mr D had awesome customer service and was able to refund us for the course. He is going to preview some over the summer to see what might be a good fit!
Isn't it interesting how kids can be drawn to/against curriculum?! I'm always interested to see how different kids react to the same program. I'm glad to hear they have good CS. I've only dealt with them in regards to questions about problems or grades.
@@TheHomeschoolBreakroom it is so funny, especially because the kidso who is doing great with Mr D math is the one I was absolutely not sure would do ok without a physical book, explanations to go back to a read if needed etc. The one who didn't like it is the one I expected to do best with that format. Ha! They are always keeping me on my toes!
We did RSO Biology 2 this year as well! However, we did save anatomy for this year and plan to combine it with health. My kiddo likes structure and autonomy, too. Too bad about the online class not being available next year. :(
Saving the health portion is a great idea! We used this one on Outschool. The teacher, Alison, used to teach this class directly for the publisher of RSO before they closed down their online classes. outschool.com/classes/biology-2-full-year-course-with-labs-semester-2-sC1mGVZV?sectionUid=994a11fe-4802-4b4d-b82a-567babde1c4d&showDetails=true&usid=EMdNOp3j&signup=true&
My kid did RSO Bio this year as well; we still have the rotting banana on the counter, as a matter of fact. Ha! Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you share with us.
Ha! Matthew loved that one. When we went on vacation, I accidentally left a small baggie of pineapple on the counter. It was puffed up and, before we had finished unloading the car, he was measuring the bag. 🤣🤦🏻♀️
