praise the Lord!

Yes the LBP editions are so nice! We've tried the Sharp volumes a few times, but my children really didn't enjoy them though I did.

YES! Love the connection, though I think Burgess Peter is less mischievous than Potter's. :D

yes!! Though we have a large yard, so would never get them all! :D #parsonagelife

Wonderful! Thanks for watching!

Thank you

It's a good one!

Thank you, and yes there is a lack of sharing and inspiration for the older grades.

So glad! Yes, they are simple but beautiful!

They are technically 3 days a week, but one of the days is always "read nature lore" so it's not a lesson I have to plan. They read and narrate.

Fallacy Detective was a hit with my 13 year old last year

That's my aim in this space! Thank you for watching.

Awesome! Thank you so much for watching, that is my goal here to help other educators find what they are looking for and share our experiences!

Oh I'm so glad you found it helpful!

Will be sharing more in future, glad it was helpful.

Honestly that feels like way too much. If anything I would do the speed drills from R&S with SCM, but that's about it. They are very different methods of learning, and SCM goes a bit slower, but still just as effective to get them stick depending on the child. Three of mine have thrived with SCM and facts, one did not but she also isn't thriving in R&S. Facts just take longer for that one child to retain. We use xtramath.com to help them with facts usually.

@@wholeheartedhomemaking thank you so much. This is very helpful

Thank you and Praise the Lord! It is hard to find that balance, prayers for you in your school year!

Great, thanks for stopping by!

We have enjoyed these! Magnets, Tech & Eng, & Astronomy were our favorites so far.

Praise the Lord! So exciting

Thank you!

Thank you. Definitely in the future planning to go into depth on a CM style lesson, her booklists are a gem!

YES! It was the one we needed too, so grateful for Richele's amazing work in these.

Form 3-4- one day of biology or botany (full year to complete), three days specific science subject Form 4-6- can follow same pattern, a traditional pattern or something else. Her website explains scheduling pretty decently as high school allows for many more options to your scheduling.

Thank you! @simplycharlottemason could better answer that. I think there may be one more in the works.

❤ any time! We have been blessed by this curriculum!

thank you

Thank you! Will do! Heading to your page to check it out!

@@wholeheartedhomemaking thank you so much also!!

Yes, mental math is one we overlook often in our traditional settings but it's so crucial to every day life!

It's a great book! www.amazon.com/Morning-Time-Liturgy-Cindy-Rollins/dp/1944435166

Yes! You have to check our Cindy's book its so amazing!

Yes, I have one of those roaming around on my hard drive and keep forgetting about it. They also have great morning time resources.

Love that! I have 6 daughters, and my youngest is a boy at only 1. Sadly I have all nephews who don't enjoy reading. :( What are your boys favorite books?

6 girls and a boy!!!! What a beautiful family. Books my boys have loved: Pax, Christmas Pig, Wild Robot, Chronicles of Narnia, The Bears of Blue River, A Dog’s Purpose…. we do Ambleside, I could list off quite a few books that I have loved for them on Ambleside. We just found and started reading the Lamplighter series. Highly highly recommend. We are reading Teddy Buttons right now and love that.

@@jamiehazlewood1370 Bears of Blue River was a huge hit with my second born! She read it multiple times :D

Have you read the book?

@@wholeheartedhomemaking I grew up in the 90s with a lost family...so yeah I know what peter pan is and the books..research where these wicked fables come from

@@miss.baptist394 I'm sorry your upset by our choice. I was simply asking if you read the original. There are many books others choose to read that I do not agree with because of our personal beliefs. Wind in the Willows for instance gave me pause, we don't read Narnia in our home, and perhaps after my rereading of this classic (its been 4 years since I read it) will cause me to change my mind or may not, but I appreciate your concern. Thank you for watching.

She is using PreAlgebra from Memoria press over the summer, and then will move on to BJU Algebra (2nd Edition). My husband is former high school math teacher, and he chose that curriculum out of many others.

Thank you! You can usually find them used.

Yes! Thank you shortly after filming this I found a copy hiding at our library!

Yes, hoping to make more book favorites videos soon!

Audiobooks are a huge help!

oh wonderful! If you ever have a question don't hesitate to ask

praise the Lord! I have heard great things about CMEC, and it helps many especially those figuring out the ropes!

Thank you sweet friend. I've got the multiples and learning along the way.

The years we have non-independent readers are always the hardest! I try to limit true independent work at those ages to just a few subjects: copywork/handwriting, math practice (like flashcards or review game on tablet), and nature journaling. This should take 30 minutes or less for non readers, and about 45-60 minutes for independent readers. Then I use about 30-45 minutes of one on one time to do a math lesson (15 minutes) and any readings they need help with (ie I read to them). My independent readers can narrate to me any time. While your oldest does their work independently try to capitalize on that 30-60 minutes by working with your twins for 15-20 minutes with short pre-reading lessons, then move on to helping 7 year old with math and any other instructed reading. If possible have your 7 year old play with the youngest ones while you work with your twins and vice versa. It's not babysitting just playing together. Hope this helps, please feel free to ask more questions if need!

@wholeheartedhomemaking thank you for taking the time to reply! And help me! I've been thinking some kind of stations type of thing would be best for that as well. Also, how do you establish a morning time or a read aloud time?

@@ezekielfenjavandehei3189 Stations can work well if you have the space. I think a great way to introduce morning time simply would be an afternoon tea time. You don't have to do tea, we have done juice, cider, and often just water with a snack. I am using Tea Time Together this summer, as it has a composer, artist, and poet. It may be a good fit. If you want to try that I have a discount code: WHOLEHEARTEDHOMEMAKING . Or simply set aside 20-30 min a day to start and read. Allow your kids to color, build, or even move around while you read as long as they can tell back (narrate) what was read. I encourage you to start with an exciting read aloud, but a short one. Not sure if you have boys or girls or mix, but great first read aloud include My Father's Dragon, Charlotte's Web, Gooney Bird Greene, Mr. Popper's Penguins, or Mrs. PiggleWiggle to name a few.

@@wholeheartedhomemaking thank you!!!

I guess I'm not quite sure of the question. In first grade my students do everything with me, so there isn't a question of completing work. First grade takes about 1 hour of independent one on one work, and then 30-60 minutes of morning time/family studies- on average. The only subjects covered everyday are bible, math, copywork, recitation, phonics, and one reading (two if we have time and desire more).

yes, if you head over to my blog www.wholeheartedhomemaking.wordpress.com you can find a list of all these and more

Awesome! Thank you!

Yes, it feels daunting but really its just a matter of setting your priorities and vision, then moving forward!

Thank you! I will share 6th grade and 7th grade in mid-late May. I do have my booklist for my 4/5th graders on my blog under 2022 and 2023 curriculums
