Kids Learning for Life
United States
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

I Still have questions 🤚 like if you're doing independent how do you know if your child isnt behind? do they still have to do state testing? do we report the childs work to anyone?
When homeschooling using a Private School Affidavit, there is no requirement of submitting work to anyone or state testing. “Behind” is just a mindset and you have to create your own standards, unless you have specific academic goals (such as getting into specific universities). Always refer to HSLDA.org for these kinds of questions. It’s a great resource!
Are they woke books ?
We don’t recommend woke books 😊
@ great ,thanks
NOT TRUE .. coding does not teach you life skills. People with LOGICAL skills make great coders NOT the other way. I have seen it for fact. And coding is so over rated. It has become a scam selling it as a need for kids,
Thank you for the awesome video! I'm trying to reset my sons youtube algorithm as it was going in a not so kid friendly direction and was looking for good channels to sub too. Thank you for the awesome list and I am amazed how many I was following on my account😂🥰
This is hands-down one of the best tutorials I’ve seen.
Thanks so much!
This was one of the clearest explanations I’ve come across.
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful!
Are you still using Ambleside? I’m having such a hard time sticking with it! 😅
Super bad
I always learn something new from your videos.
Happy to hear it! Thanks for sharing. :)
Except that ChatGPT can code for you :-)
Thank you very much for this video!
As some one who’s gone to private school and public personally I had a worse experience in private then in public schools. But that’s just my personal experience. I had a lot worse bulling in private than in public and they were all rich and privileged so I would way rather send my kids to public than private for them to learn not to be privileged. No hate though 😂😅🙄
Thank you! Very useful resources
You’re welcome! Glad you found them helpful!
How do you do history and science for multiple children?
So useful for my classmates! I’m a 4th grade teacher! Love my Job!
Thanks so much for sharing. I have never seen this curriculum before. If I got this for one child, could u I theoretically use it a few years later for my younger child. Is it reusable? It looks from the video, the student writes in the notebook and the tick the home study packet, is that right? No writing in the text books?
Really good video! Very detailed and helpful
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
This is awesome! We have definitely been trying to get the kids to learn more about the foundation and basics of coding and after trying various programs etc., this is a great video! I would add another to the list which would be Beestar's Computer Science program which teaches kids the basics of computer programming! We love it and how Beestar teaches these skills in such a meaningful manner.
I haven’t heard of Beestar’s, I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for sharing!
I need a app like Photomath so I can brush up on my skills for my child. Any free ones like that? Thanks
ChatGPT can give step by step help with math problems (just be careful with this, sometimes it will give the right steps, but the wrong answer). Khan Academy has lessons that will teach you whatever skills you are looking to brush up on. Both are free.

Good stuff! Thank you for not being a gimmick channel like so many other begging for subs.
Your video is truly remarkable. I've been sharing it with the homeschooling families I support for years, and it consistently sets them up for success. Thank you for creating such an invaluable resource.
You are welcome! I am glad you have been able to share this resource!
you can use UTab Extension on a shared family computer. You can set up bookmarks in different folders

Love your videos 😅
Thank you!
Hi! Is there any reading comprehension questions in the student workbook? Or is that a discussion in the teacher’s guide? I love the book selections for this curriculum and would use it for comprehension but I already have a grammar and writing program we like. Thanks!
But do your kids want to
I’m a new homeschool mom and I don’t want to send my kids back to Public school but this all feels overwhelming. Everything you have to keep track and I’m not a teacher professionally.
Yes, it can feel overwhelming at first, but don’t get discouraged. You don’t need to be a professional teacher to homeschool your kids. I (Stacey) am a teacher, but a lot of my training went into teaching multiple learning styles, lesson plans, and classroom management. Things that are much easier when the students are your own kids. Plus, I am still learning TONS while homeschooling my kids because we are learning together. Anyone that wants to, can teach their child at home. We are so fortunate to be living in a time where there is so much information and support for homeschoolers on their journey. I hope that helps!
Hi, I was wondering if there is any charter schools for preschoolers?
Preschool is not required (at least in CA). Some school districts have preschool programs, but many home daycares may offer preschool. There are also lots of private preschool programs. Although, TK (transitional kindergarten) is being offered by many charter schools for kids.

Tell you a "fact"! 😂
Whew!!! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Good info thanks
Do I have to have actual curriculum books or can I make my own curriculum or and also mixing different free curriculum to add in one for each subject
You can totally create your own! The main thing is to make sure you are following the requirements set by your state (HSLDA.org is a good resource). Some have specific standards you need to cover or testing your kids need to take, but you should be able to meet those requirements how you see fit.
Is it ok to read the book for the person who didn't have knowledge about world history a lot??
Reading Story of the World aloud to anyone is highly encouraged!
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!
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
I tend to do narrations only with history readings 😬 I’m bad about requiring narrations after every reading, even though you’re probably supposed to. That being said, the literature readings are usually so captivating to my kids that they can’t stop talking about them anyway. So those are still narrations, just less formal!
Did you do year 3 along with TGTB??
I am using TGTB for all years going forward now. I hope to talk about that in a video again soon!
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 💀
