เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 1 พ.ย. 2016
Jenny and Stacey are two very different homeschool moms with a passion for helping parents show their children the joys of learning so that they will keep learning throughout their life.
They were good friends in high school, and they even became sisters-in-law when they married twins. They each have three kids, who are all close in age, and have homeschooled them since the beginning. Having both come from the public school system, Stacey and Jenny enjoy finding creative new ways to homeschool, and are happy to be able to be a strong support system for each other and others.

Young Scientist Series Curriculum Review and Flip Through | 4th-6th Grade
In this video Stacey shares about her experience using the Young Scientist Series science curriculum. So far she has completed the Microscope and Plants units and will be moving onto Maps and Globes next. Will this be Stacey's new go-to science curriculum, or will it be another science flop?
Happy Homeschooling,
Jenny and Stacey

What phonics program do you use the Bob books with or is that all you’re using?
Is it ok to read the book for the person who didn't have knowledge about world history a lot??
Do you have any film study units for grades 7-12?
Unfortunately we don’t currently have any written for that age range.
Thank you
You're welcome!
Can explode the code be used as a stand alone phonics program?
Your baby is so adorable!!
Thank you!
very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
So would a single subscription work for three children?
It all depends on you and your children. You could use one subscription for three children, but they would have to share while putting the projects together and then share the toy. Some of the projects have duplicate toys (like the coin spinner comes with two, so you can battle a friend, and the catapult comes with three so you can make a chain reaction), but most only have one final project. With my three boys, I am glad we were able to get them each their own subscription. But, as long as your kids are willing to share the boxes you could make it work with just one subscription.
Do you have to sign in
I mention several resources, which website are you asking about so I can better answer your question?
Hi there, just wondering whether you have your kids do oral narrations for the AO literature readings, or just treat them as read alouds? Thank you
Did you do year 3 along with TGTB??
Do you use Child accts. Or Adults acct?
All our iPads are logged in with my account. I never tried child accounts, so I can’t say if they are better.
Public school is TERRIBLE, but everyone ive ever met from a private school were billonare sephora kids with Way to much attitude. So my kids Sony gonna end up like that 😤 they Can suffer like the rest of us theough public school and become emo or gay idk 💀
No way my teacher literally read us in third grade last year because of Winn-Dixie I am now going to be a fourth grader
I read because of winn Dixie
I have an EcoTank printer. I printed EVERYTHING for math 2 and math 3, both math boxes, Language Arts 2 (including the readers), and Language Arts 3 (including the spelling book and 1 reader), the free Marine Biology science unit with the TG and 2 student journals, and I used about 1/4 of my ink supply. I highly recommend the Epson EcoTank. I have the 3850. I went through 2 packs of paper. My total cost was around $40 for the little ink I used, paper, and some self laminating sheets I got. I would have spent over $300 for these things had I ordered them. I did order the readers for level 3 because I was not about to try to bind those. My printer was around $375. It did take about million hours to print it all though;/ I was just so tired of spend money on curriculum only to find that we really didn't like it. So, I thought printing would be worth it. I may just order it all in the future and save myself a whole lot of time.
Thanks for the recap! Are you still using TGAB as well?
Our rights do not come from God. That is all.
is this world wide available?

Nice
How did it go with tgatb?
My child is dyslexic and behind in grade level, my child has IEP and I would love to know what’s the best charter schools that can help us with are situation. Please help 🙏🏼 we live in Los Angeles
Unfortunately, we both live in Northern CA and don’t have direct experience with individual Southern CA schools and how good their IEP programs are. Hopefully others might be able to chime in, but we also recommend checking out local homeschool groups on Facebook. The parents in those groups would have better insight on specific schools in your area.
Is this confusing these looks hard to organize and figure out
I would say it takes a bit to understand how all the pieces relate to each other, but once you understand the rhythm, it is really easy to implement. As you go, you will learn what parts work for you and what parts you might want to cut out. For example, I don’t usually do the “game” activities with my kids, we just read the practice sheets and call it good. I have heard from other families that their kids love the “game” activities, so they skip the practice sheets. There is a lot to the program, but you can weed out things that don’t work for your kiddo.
I also am passionate about the CM method but have been using tgatb for all the same reasons! my kids love it! And there’s something so satisfying about the books they are really beautiful!
Favorite one of mine for both grades- Baby sitters clubbb!
can european kids do this when they don't speak english?
I am not sure if @CrunchLabs has their instruction booklets in other languages or not or if they even ship outside of the US. The videos you unlock with each box are housed on TH-cam, so you could turn on captions and auto translate, but I don't know how well that feature works. I suggest you take a look at the Crunch Labs website and possibly even send your question to their support team.
I’m incorporating Stem into my 5 yr old Autistic ADHD son’s homeschooling curriculum. This is great for all learners. It’s so interesting.
I hope your son enjoys some of the channels!
Thanks for sharing! I used Typing Club as a teacher with middle and high school - but this is super helpful to consider with a small child 🤗
You’re welcome!
MR POPPERS PEINGUINS YAY
Thanks for the video. I bought these for my 5th grade sons, I plan on using them alongside History plus science videos to break up the reading. I suggested to the company's rep, who I met at a convention, that they offer an App with videos or simplify some of the science experiments in the electricity books. They get a bit wacky with what you need to gather.
Thanks for the heads up about the electricity experiments. Videos would be a nice addition as well.
Can you print out a daily schedule/checklist for your student instead of having them log into homeschool planet?
I apologize for the late reply. I didn't know the answer to your question and wanted to look into it. I never even thought about printing it out, but I think it is a great idea! Yes, I did find a print feature so that you could print the daily/weekly/monthly schedule. Although, depending on how many activities/students you are trying to print off, it isn't the prettiest layout because sometimes content gets split between pages. But, you can adjust some of your print settings and adjust the look that way. I'll probably use the weekly print feature for my boys next year.
I have a soon to be 5th grader who is a wonderful reader and possibly above his age, on the other hand I have a soon to be 3rd grader who does really well in most all subjects but is still not reading himself...I also have a new Kindergartner that may sit in with us and a toddler who I wont be doing much with. But i want to teach the 2 older ones together as much as possible, almost everything outside of math if possible. I want to follow the Ambleside Curriculum the best I can but I'm wondering if I should teach 5th grade hoping my 3rd grader follows or Im considering teaching 4th grade to try to meet in the middle. Any suggestions?
I think you could meet in the middle and be fine. You may also want to check out AO groups (www.amblesideonline.org/groups) that structures the curriculum slightly differently to cover more grade levels at the same time.
Pacific coast academy and Audeo charter schools have been amazing programs for south of California
That’s great to hear!
They have support for children that have an IEP And need support in reading, writing, and so on.
For 3rd grade you can’t forget ‘Frindle’
Türkçe dinlemek istiyorum
Thank you! Very grateful!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for this very concise and helpful video. I really enjoyed it.
Glad it was helpful!
You use 2nd grade for your third grader? Would you say this is an advanced curriculum?
Yes, this curriculum is a more advanced curriculum.
Thank you so much for making this video. I've tried watching 3 or 4 other videos and they would give their opinions about level 4, but they wouldn't actually show the materials or go into detail about what a lesson would look like. Honestly, your video should be ranked at the top of the search page. You've definitely given me A LOT more helpful information so that I can make a good decision for my family. Thanks again!
You are very sweet! Glad I was able to give you the information you were looking for!
Hi , thanks very informative. Are there any comprehension questions in all about reading?
Yes, there are comprehension questions in some of the lessons that you can ask to your child.
be really cool to see more holiday themed movie studies like the great pumpkin charlie brown and frosty the snowman, santa claus coming to town a christmas carol. just some ideas
Great ideas! Yes, more holiday themed series are higher on our list from all the suggestions we have gotten. :)
So excited for more movie unit studies!
We are too! The activities are really coming together and we can’t wait to share them!
Stacey what is the science you mentioned?
It’s called the Young Scientist Series by Heron Books. I think I got mine from Rainbow Resource.
Here is the full video review of me going over the units we used this year: th-cam.com/video/wbO-jNJ0eZ8/w-d-xo.html
How good is the iPad app??
I have never used the iPad version, so I’m not sure.
Tanks?
What would you rate it 1-10
1 being worst and 10 being best, for a monthly subscription box for kids, I’d rate it an 8.
When buying books for kindergarten curriculum do you have recommendations
There are SO many great curriculums out there and a lot depends on you and your child’s learning/teaching styles and the subject you are looking for. For reading, Jenny and I have both used All About Reading. I have seen some families really like The Good and the Beautiful if you don’t mind a religious curriculum, they also have math that I have seen families enjoy. I have always used Singapore’s Primary Mathematics and been happy with it. These are just some curriculum we have used and liked, let us know if there is something specific you are looking for.
Thanks for sharing these!
Glad you liked them!
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
I fall into “secular” curriculum, but a I use TGATB for ELA for my 4th and 5th grader (they both use the same level) . And they both like it . However , I don’t think it will continue to serve them much purpose this coming up year, so once they finish it this June, it will be the last time using it . We also love their science, and will continue to use it for some more units .
Thanks for sharing! It’s great to hear other perspectives about how the program has worked for others. Thanks!
