Delilah, as a grown-up homeschooler (whose curriculum had a STRONG focus on bookwork), I had to comment and say that you have set up and thought out your homeschooling plans soo beautifully! 🥰 I love how involved you are in their schooling and how much fun you're incorporating alongside the learning. You are doing such a fantastic job! 💕🙌🏻
As an Ontarian mother to a 2 year old who is expecting my second in 2024, I plan on homeschooling my children and I've never clicked so fast!!!! Thank you Delilah!! [Edit: grammar]
I though in Canada we had to bring our child to school. Like they do exceptions but we have to prove that they benefit from that with a special project (like if you travel a lot and they get to learn another language...something like that)
@@erikaplante-jean7745 You have to check in with your school board district and province. The easiest way to explain this is you get put on a home-school list, where as Delilah mentioned at the end of the school year you must provide proof to the school board that the province's school curriculum was met that year. @erikaplante-jean7745
You are a great mother and a true gift to your children. I admire you very much. Lord, thank you for giving me an example of a virtuous woman. In your wisdom, you've already laid out what she looks like and who she is. Mostly, though, thank you for allowing me to see that being a Proverbs 31 woman isn't about my deeds but my character. Thank you for this reminder, Delilah. Be blessed. 🙏 Greetings from Germany, Claudia
I was homeschooling my 6 children 36 years ago, in the Amazon jungle. We live overseas as full time missionaries. My youngest graduated 12 years ago and I miss it. I love to see all the new resources available now! HS curriculum has come a long way! My daughter uses this same curriculum. It’s lovely!😊 God bless you and your family.
I love this ❤ I am wondering what you do on hard days when the kids aren't getting along or are having a hard day emotionally? A video on you handle those days would be lovely. 😊 Your channel brings me so much motivation and peace. Thank you. ❤
We have been doing the good and the beautiful handwriting about 4 years now and both my girls have really good handwriting because of those books. I highly recommend them. Also, their preschool is really good. It has everything your talking about wanting to do with Theo without all the extra work and research. We've been enjoying that. Also remember kiwi co counts as science!
Science could also be when they are helping you bake with your sourdough. The mixing of ingredients, the chemical reactions of the different food items, etc. Just a note 😊
I'm doing The Good and the Beautiful with my kindergartener right now and we love it! We did their preschool curriculum too and it's been working so well for us. Everyone in the comments saying it's a Mormon curriculum, yes the woman who created the curriculum is Mormon, but it's really vague (at least so far for us) talking about God and admiring His creation, nothing Mormon at all. And if anything comes up that's questionable, YOU are the teacher, not the book, and you can make modifications as you see fit.
There is actually a lot of Mormon quotes and beliefs through it as they get older. Also the creators of the curriculum all state that all the groups involved are Christian. That is dangerous teaching that scripture tell us to not associate with. Mormons beliefs are a new gospel brought by false teaching.
Hi 😊 Could someone explain the difference between Christian and Mormon? I thought Mormons were Christian too and I don't really understand what they say that could be "questionable" for a Christian person?
@@marievulliet8957 Hi Marie, as far as I know, Mormonism is a sect of christianity. Unfortunately, they subscribe to many doctrinal heresies such as polyamory, the idea that we can become gods in the "celestial kingdom" reserved for dutiful mormons. They also believe that God was once a man and that He had goddess wives whom He procreated with to produce "spirit children." These are just a few examples of the anti-biblical beliefs of mormonism.
@@marievulliet8957 Yes mormons believe that once you die and Jesus comes back that you will as a christian/mormon become like God and have your own world to govern like a god and your family you had on earth will govern over the world with you and they also believe that Jesus is just a son of God and that Lucifer was also a son of God. Christians believe in the Trinity where Jesus is God and the Son of God. He was never created and always existed with God the Father. The reason He came to die for us is because we sinned against Him and He made a way for us to be restored/reconciled to God and Jesus paid the price for our sins and rose from the dead to conquor death. We believe Jesus will come again to judge the world who rejected Him and the Christians will be with Jesus forever. I know that is pretty shallow and not a great explanation but I hope that helps with the difference. We also cannot earn our way to heaven. Salvation comes through faith in Jesus. He just wants a relationship. When we accept Him He covers us in His righteousness. There is never a point that you can be good enough to earn your way to heaven since Jesus already paid that price and covered you in His righteousness. Mormons have to work for salvation. It is not just faith in Jesus.
@@Sparksoflife777 Oh thank you for your answer! Yes it's more clear now :) although I don't believe in God or anything like that, so I guess I don't fully understand your point, but at least I know the main differences now. Thanks again for explaining!
I believe that the Good and Beautiful is more Mormon based than Christian. When we did some research, my husband and I found out that the founder herself is a Mormon. But I also know that it is a very popular curriculum in the Christian community....thank you for sharing this video. I'm glad to see an overview of what other homeschool Moms are doing for school.
But isn't Delilah a Mormon too? :/ I thought she said something like that in a previous video. Or maybe it was not Mormon? I remember she said she was from a super specific Christan group, like many people she knows in her province
@@alyssawaller2172 Oh I think you're right! I must have mixed things up 😅 I don't really understand these differences to be honest. I just read online about Mennonism, and it's said that they refuse technological progress and that they are ultra-conservative. I see in many ways how Delilah is conservative, but it doesn't seem that she refuses technological progress 🤔 I don't really understand these things I guess
This was amazing! I became a stay at home mom of a 3, 2, and 6 month old recently and I’ve been so overwhelmed with what to use, where to start with homeschooling but this is everything I needed to get myself and my kids started! Thank you so much 😊
You should look into songs for the letter sounds! My nephew is 3 and his preschool does songs for each letter and he’s actually remembering the letters and their sounds. Music is really good for stuff like that.
Yes!! We like the song the A says ahh the A says ahh every letter makes a sound the A says Ahh and go through the alphabet. Jada Alvarez showed it on her channel .
Grad of homeschooling(all 12 years for me) I highly recommend as your kids get older making bins for them with name, grade level, and all the work they do throughout the year. That way when the end of the year assessments come you know where everything is. As you get into middle/high school you go through so much work its good to keep it all sorted. I love seeing thought and intention put into homeschooling it makes my homeschooler heart happy :)
This is such a beautiful way of homeschooling. I can’t wait for my babies to be old enough to have this kind of homeschooling experience with me. What an encouragement!
My son is kindergarten age and we're also using the Good and the Beautiful curriculum. It's helpful to see other people's routines and get ideas that we can implement into our homeschool as well. Thank you for posting! ❤️
I think its wonderful to teach the kids on what they are interested in because then they learn the best. In nursery (kindergarten) where I work with kids from 1 to 6 we write for the parents what we did that day and what they learned.I think its better the to plan before because then you have already a straight plan what they have to learn ..
Loved this video! I’ve been gathering ideas for my little boy. He is two like William (actually just two months younger!) I’ve been doing some preschool but very lightly and I am eager to be organized as we round towards preschool and there is also nothing better than seeing his little kind light up with wonder and awe learning something new ! God Bless you all 💗
Learnig without force, stress and pressure is the way to go. Our brains keep info long-term if we acquire it with interest, curiosity and personal context. School doesn't help much with that. To anyone who can make homeschooling happen somehow - I strongly recommend it. In my country it is forbidden with harsh punishment.... but I'll make it happen anyways. When you have a strong belief in sth the state can hardly stop you.
If you cannot do it then please search for an alternative school the best would be Montessori. I could not find one that is the reason i started doing home ed alhamdulilah such a relief.
You are an outstanding homeschool teacher because you are kind, patient, flexible and you make learning fun. Also you are doing your children a big favor by not sending them to public school where they can be bullied by their classmates.
This is incredibly useful and beautifully presented!! As someone looking into homeschool over here in England, this is WILDLY helpful to see different approaches and resources etc, so helpful. Really want to respect your family’s privacy but would love your general opinions on what could be good ideas for extra curricular without everyone getting exhausted/running around all over the place? Or maybe how you made decisions (if appropriate) on what else you bring in/ how you decide what to do when there are many ‘good activities that could be done? Only if you feel happy to though :)
I was a preschool teacher in the U.S. (retired now). There was a book called “R is for Rainbow” that had activities across the curriculum for each letter of the alphabet. It was b=very age appropriate for the preschool age child and fun to use.
I’ve used the good & beautiful for 4 years now and absolutely love it! I feel like it is advanced but I’m good with that. I love that it’s very open and go so I don’t have to stress over prepping things.
This is perfect timing! I'm just about to start grade 1 with my oldest, preschool with my second oldest, and also have a 20 month old and a 3 week old. Thank you for this!
I was homeschooled for first grade in Ontario, back in 1996. It was the year I learned to read, and the math that we covered was way beyond that which was being taught in public school. When I re-entered public school for second grade, I was two years ahead of everyone in my class. The one thing that I was ... not necessarily "behind" on, but "out of sorts" with was French. I did learn French, but not the particular conversation pieces that were being taught in first grade at the public school I was later enrolled at
We started doing circle time too and i noticed such a difference to our mornings it gives a nice structure a bit of morning sucess helps us with the mood especially for me.
I'm so grateful that you're on youtube Delilah! Your videos are so refreshing and encouraging, keep shining light and glorifying the Lord in all you do! 💛
Hi Delilah you are doing a wonderful job home schooling your little ones. I love how you have set up your home for home schooling, you have provided everything your children needs to learn. Amazing Delilah xxx 🥰
I think I need to do kiwi co!! 5th baby on the way so I need something easy and put together for me. Atm I’m making the most of our freedom (with 4 kids ) We’ve been going and exploring the world around us. Forest walks, exploring rock pools. We just Took the kids on holidays but not just hanging at the hotel, we went to museums and a childrens interactive science exhibit. . I love the homeschool updates
I never knew you were Canadian too! Super helpful to hear from a Canadian! Thanks for sharing your journey. Super helpful for a mama who plans to homeschool too!
Hi, congrats on your new direction on your TH-cam channel and on beautiful Annie. (Currently pregnant with my 3rd one). Content ideas I believe people would love: cooking, cleaning, homeschooling, home renovation (boys & girls room makeover in particular), Christmas prep, decor and even gifts (thrifted, new etc), packing tips for big family. All the best, Lilly from Los Angeles
At the daycare I work at, I would make coloring sheets with different animals and things that start with one letter and different things that start with another. I would then have the kids (2-3) color the animals that start with A one color and the animals that start with B another color. Giving them a cheat animal like a Bee and an Ant helped too. ❤️
Hello Delilah, as an education student at a German university this was very interesting to watch. In Germany homeschooling isn’t a thing at all so I was quite curious to see how it works. Are you planning (or is it even common) to hoomeschool children until they fully graduate to go to university? Have a great day!
We're homeschooling in BC and also using The Good and The Beautiful for math. In BC as a registered homeschooler we do not have to report anything, our only obligation is to educate our child. I love the flexibility that this provides for our family.
@@sambito702even a parent who sends their children to a brick and mortar school or homeschools following strict supervision can indoctrinate at home....
I love your videos so much and I look forward to them every week. We use the good and the beautiful too! We love it. I love it. My the Lord bless you and keep you, May his face shine upon you and bring you peace.
I’m currently 9weeks pregnant with baby #4 and attempting to homeschool grade 1 and pre-school simultaneously. I am STRUGGLING! How did you survive the first trimester while trying to homeschool??
Loved this! So helpful and interesting to see your process. I have kiddos rapidly approaching the age of your two oldest, so this is quite inspirational!
Hey there Delilah! Bet you’ve never heard that one before. 😂 I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m newly married and we are currently trying for our first child. One of the important things my husband and I agree on is to home school our future children. Ty for the helpful info.!
Wow, I was literally going to comment about The Good and The Beautiful! My friend also uses it and highlyy recommended it. I have a toddler who I plan to homeschool and that's def the one I plan to use!
Delilah, i am so proud of you for home schooling. Its definitely more work to home school. Its not the right choice for everyone, but i commend you on doing it. I went to public school and got bullied really bad, and my mom offered to home school me, but i ended up staying in high school... anyway good job❤❤ ps: i live in Nova scotia and i would love to home school any future kids of mine ❤
Oh Delilah! You might be interested in Bible Pathway Adventures! They have a Bible Alphabet workbook i plan to use with my Preschooler, and they have all kinds of other Bible based workbooks as well! And they're Canadian!
I love this for your family! I will have to pick up those memory verse cards!!! My children are not homeschooled yet. We live overseas & my oldest goes to a Montessori Japanese preschool/kindergarten. When we move back to the US we will be homeschooling though. Thanks for these ideas!
The only link I'm super interested in right now is that weekly schedule board, and it wasn't listed on website!! Great video!! I actually love this style video vs DITL. Very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m still friends with people I met at school in the 1960s. It would have been so sad to miss out on those friendships. I loved being at school and my friends of the same age. There are plenty more hours in the day to spend with family.
And poor Eloise was so excited to go to school in a video two years ago... But finally they changed their minds and are homeschooling now. I think the main reason is religion, they are quite conservative and I guess they didn't like the fact that school is secular.
Wow. Amazing, i from Vietnam, i have a first kid, he's 4.5 month, and i will homeschool with him, but i don't how to start, thank you so much your video because it make me have a lot ideal 🎉🎉 Thank you😊 Hope you good and make a lot video
Hi! You said, you would love to create new type of content, and I think it would be very useful to see your tips for young girls who desire to become a wife, mother and most importantly daughter to God. Love your content!
Question: before they were old enough for preschool and kindergarten, did you do anything school related like reading books to them? And how often would you do these activities?
Hi! It is a dream of mine to have such a great option for homeschool curriculum... were we live i need to "hide" my kids because we homeschool them Congratulations to your awesome work!
Love this video and the new direction your channel is going! I also follow For the Love of Homeschooling and for those who don't know, they have weekly freebies on their website! My kiddo is almost 2 so we're not quite to official homeschool yet (we do a loose preschool style routine now with lots of library trips) but I love to save their freebies for when we're ready to start homeschool in earnest! I also love the alphabet one you mentioned in this video, I'll definitely be scooping that up when my kiddo is ready for it.
I’m a recent subscriber and I really look forward to your videos every week! You do motherhood with such joy and organization and beauty and it’s inspiring! Your newborn videos have helped in my excitement to go through the newborn phase again when my second is born in the spring! Would love to hear more about how you find contentment in the day to day of motherhood. I know Jesus is the answer for me , but if you had any practical tips other than spending time with the Lord 🤗
Delilah, I would love to be your "student" ;) Homeschool is very rare in Slovenia. We don't have a variety of curriculums available, also with one salary it is very difficult for families to make it through the month... That is why most of our children go to public school. I myself had good experiences with it (my mum was also a teacher at my school and she taught me Slovenian for 4 years - a funny experience). The advantage of our system is that we have paid maternity leave and can devote the first year entirely to the baby. If I had the chance, I would be at home with my children at least until they were three years old. My question is, what specifically is the christian part in the curriculum?
Where can I find that letter game with the different shapes to create the letters on the flashcards? I checked your website but I didn't see it there. Thanks!
would you be willing to share the memory verse cards you made? i have been looking for some new one for my children and im having a hard time finding some that arent the same verses as the last 2 sets we did
I do the best of both worlds I keep my kids at home but they attend/will attend an online public academy. I also have an 8yo 3rd grader, with a 3yo, & a just now 1 yo. I also wanted to traditional homeschool & purchase the good & the beautiful curriculum but I didn’t know we were going to have a new baby at the same time she would start & then not be able to afford that particular curriculum.
This is great, I’ve just started home school in kindergarten/foundation stage 2 in Cyprus (we’re uk military) and I’m only just getting the hang of it apart from having patience with my 5 year old because her attention span is barely 15 minutes if that. I’m wanting to use memoria press for her curriculum next September for year 1 but shipping to the UK/cyprus costs so much on top of the curriculum. Do you recommend any others that ship to the UK that are Christian based but also budget friendly?
The Good and the Beautiful that Delilah is using is technically free if you have access to a printer you can download the kindergarten English and math and print the lessons and hole punch them into a binder.
What makes these Christian Based? I, myself am really interested and wanting to homeschool and being Christian based is so important to me! You claimed it a few times but I didn't catch what exactly makes them based on Christianity ❤
We use The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts. It's not super overtly Christian but it is there. For instance, in the reading books, sometimes it will mention them praying. The lesson plans sometimes include paintings with descriptions that include "God made" etc. So it is there but it's not every lesson and it's not using Bible verses (not that we've come across yet, anyway).

Hi, congrats on your new direction on your TH-cam channel and on beautiful Annie. (Currently pregnant with my 3rd one). Content ideas I believe people would love: cooking, cleaning, homeschooling, home renovation (boys & girls room makeover in particular), Christmas prep, decor and even gifts (thrifted, new etc), packing tips for big family.
All the best, Lilly from Los Angeles
At the daycare I work at, I would make coloring sheets with different animals and things that start with one letter and different things that start with another. I would then have the kids (2-3) color the animals that start with A one color and the animals that start with B another color. Giving them a cheat animal like a Bee and an Ant helped too. ❤️
Did I save this video as someone with no kids? Lol yes ma’am lol 😂 so informative!
Hello Delilah, as an education student at a German university this was very interesting to watch. In Germany homeschooling isn’t a thing at all so I was quite curious to see how it works. Are you planning (or is it even common) to hoomeschool children until they fully graduate to go to university? Have a great day!
We're homeschooling in BC and also using The Good and The Beautiful for math.
In BC as a registered homeschooler we do not have to report anything, our only obligation is to educate our child. I love the flexibility that this provides for our family.
I can see the pros of that but I also worry about parents who indoctrinate or don’t teach their children.
@@sambito702even a parent who sends their children to a brick and mortar school or homeschools following strict supervision can indoctrinate at home....
Wow, your education has a lot of fun!
I love your videos so much and I look forward to them every week. We use the good and the beautiful too! We love it. I love it.
My the Lord bless you and keep you, May his face shine upon you and bring you peace.
actually looking into using the good and the beautiful so I’m happy I’m here listening
This was such a good and informative video! You did amazing paving everything out for your viewers! We are sold on The Good And The Beautiful!!! ❤️
I’m currently 9weeks pregnant with baby #4 and attempting to homeschool grade 1 and pre-school simultaneously. I am STRUGGLING! How did you survive the first trimester while trying to homeschool??
Loved this! So helpful and interesting to see your process. I have kiddos rapidly approaching the age of your two oldest, so this is quite inspirational!
Wow! You are doing such a good job! So encouraging to watch, Thankyou. God bless 🙏
Hey there Delilah! Bet you’ve never heard that one before. 😂 I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m newly married and we are currently trying for our first child. One of the important things my husband and I agree on is to home school our future children. Ty for the helpful info.!
Man, Canada is wild! However I will be checking out this curriculum in a couple of years! Great video
I was homeschooled and now I'm doing the same with my children!
I am loving this new content! It feels so fresh and this was absolutely one of the topics I was so looking forward to seeing from you ✨
I would absolutely love if u ever shared that alphabetical scripture printable u made!!! It’s amazing!!
This was so helpful for me as I gear up for homeschooling my preschooler next year!
Wow, I was literally going to comment about The Good and The Beautiful! My friend also uses it and highlyy recommended it. I have a toddler who I plan to homeschool and that's def the one I plan to use!
Delilah, i am so proud of you for home schooling. Its definitely more work to home school. Its not the right choice for everyone, but i commend you on doing it. I went to public school and got bullied really bad, and my mom offered to home school me, but i ended up staying in high school... anyway good job❤❤ ps: i live in Nova scotia and i would love to home school any future kids of mine ❤
Oh Delilah! You might be interested in Bible Pathway Adventures! They have a Bible Alphabet workbook i plan to use with my Preschooler, and they have all kinds of other Bible based workbooks as well! And they're Canadian!
I love this for your family! I will have to pick up those memory verse cards!!! My children are not homeschooled yet. We live overseas & my oldest goes to a Montessori Japanese preschool/kindergarten. When we move back to the US we will be homeschooling though. Thanks for these ideas!
Very interested in the weekly calendar, didn't find it linked in your "Shop our stuff".
Yay! I forgot we are getting Wednesday uploads now! Mid week pick me up!
We're using Gentle + Classical
The only link I'm super interested in right now is that weekly schedule board, and it wasn't listed on website!!
Great video!! I actually love this style video vs DITL. Very inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing!
It’s from Lovevery- the four year old boxes.
This was so encouraging! Thank you for sharing!
I’m still friends with people I met at school in the 1960s. It would have been so sad to miss out on those friendships. I loved being at school and my friends of the same age. There are plenty more hours in the day to spend with family.
And poor Eloise was so excited to go to school in a video two years ago... But finally they changed their minds and are homeschooling now. I think the main reason is religion, they are quite conservative and I guess they didn't like the fact that school is secular.
@@marievulliet8957 , I think you’re right. Can’t help but feel the children are missing out. Maybe they’ll get the chance to go when they’re older.
Wow. Amazing, i from Vietnam, i have a first kid, he's 4.5 month, and i will homeschool with him, but i don't how to start, thank you so much your video because it make me have a lot ideal 🎉🎉 Thank you😊
Hope you good and make a lot video
I would love for you to link the weekly schedule you use please
I feel the same way! Loving the Charlotte Mason concept but definitely going to be a bit eclectic. LOVING Charlotte Mason concepts.
I am wondering if you can add your Alphabet verse cards to your site for purchase?!?!?! ❤❤
I second that!❤
I third !!!❤
Hi! You said, you would love to create new type of content, and I think it would be very useful to see your tips for young girls who desire to become a wife, mother and most importantly daughter to God. Love your content!
Thank you SO MUCH for making this video!
Question: before they were old enough for preschool and kindergarten, did you do anything school related like reading books to them? And how often would you do these activities?
This was really helpful! Thanks for the lovely video:)
Thank you for this video! So informative!
I didn’t know you were Canadian!😍 hello from New-Brunswick!
Are you able to share the alphabet memory verse? ❤ really enjoyed this video
Any tips for bookwork time how to get older child to do the bookwork when they see their younger siblings playing play dough or kinetic sand?
This video is super helpful! Thank you!
thank you for sharing your knowledge!! ❤🙌🏼
Hi! It is a dream of mine to have such a great option for homeschool curriculum... were we live i need to "hide" my kids because we homeschool them
Congratulations to your awesome work!
Delilah ❤ you made my day! Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been eyeing off the gnb drawing books
All of this is so esthetic ❤️
Hey ❤🎉 good job and good day guys! ❤
Love this video and the new direction your channel is going! I also follow For the Love of Homeschooling and for those who don't know, they have weekly freebies on their website! My kiddo is almost 2 so we're not quite to official homeschool yet (we do a loose preschool style routine now with lots of library trips) but I love to save their freebies for when we're ready to start homeschool in earnest! I also love the alphabet one you mentioned in this video, I'll definitely be scooping that up when my kiddo is ready for it.
I’m a recent subscriber and I really look forward to your videos every week! You do motherhood with such joy and organization and beauty and it’s inspiring! Your newborn videos have helped in my excitement to go through the newborn phase again when my second is born in the spring! Would love to hear more about how you find contentment in the day to day of motherhood. I know Jesus is the answer for me , but if you had any practical tips other than spending time with the Lord 🤗
Delilah, I would love to be your "student" ;) Homeschool is very rare in Slovenia. We don't have a variety of curriculums available, also with one salary it is very difficult for families to make it through the month... That is why most of our children go to public school. I myself had good experiences with it (my mum was also a teacher at my school and she taught me Slovenian for 4 years - a funny experience). The advantage of our system is that we have paid maternity leave and can devote the first year entirely to the baby. If I had the chance, I would be at home with my children at least until they were three years old.
My question is, what specifically is the christian part in the curriculum?
Good luck ❤
Thank you so much!
Love this!
very cool, thank you.
Did you do kindergarten for 2 years. Or pre k than kindergarten. We have Jk and SK wondering how you spread the curriculum
How d I even get started with homeschooling. I live in CT and my daughter will be 2 next week
Where can I find that letter game with the different shapes to create the letters on the flashcards? I checked your website but I didn't see it there. Thanks!
Girl that blouse! ❤
Omg where is the rug from in the play room with the little roads??
What made you decide to home school. If they ask to go to school outside of home schooling is that an option in your area xx
hi Delilah! i wondered, were you also homeschooled or did you go to a regular school?
would you be willing to share the memory verse cards you made? i have been looking for some new one for my children and im having a hard time finding some that arent the same verses as the last 2 sets we did
Could you recommend a twin mattress you use for your kid?
I miss ur bangs sm
I do the best of both worlds I keep my kids at home but they attend/will attend an online public academy. I also have an 8yo 3rd grader, with a 3yo, & a just now 1 yo. I also wanted to traditional homeschool & purchase the good & the beautiful curriculum but I didn’t know we were going to have a new baby at the same time she would start & then not be able to afford that particular curriculum.
This is great, I’ve just started home school in kindergarten/foundation stage 2 in Cyprus (we’re uk military) and I’m only just getting the hang of it apart from having patience with my 5 year old because her attention span is barely 15 minutes if that.
I’m wanting to use memoria press for her curriculum next September for year 1 but shipping to the UK/cyprus costs so much on top of the curriculum.
Do you recommend any others that ship to the UK that are Christian based but also budget friendly?
The Good and the Beautiful that Delilah is using is technically free if you have access to a printer you can download the kindergarten English and math and print the lessons and hole punch them into a binder.
@@Kayrod5515 that’s the thing, we don’t have a printer at the moment 😫
Can we get more WIEIAWEEK? 🙏🏻❤️
What makes these Christian Based? I, myself am really interested and wanting to homeschool and being Christian based is so important to me! You claimed it a few times but I didn't catch what exactly makes them based on Christianity ❤
We use The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts. It's not super overtly Christian but it is there. For instance, in the reading books, sometimes it will mention them praying. The lesson plans sometimes include paintings with descriptions that include "God made" etc. So it is there but it's not every lesson and it's not using Bible verses (not that we've come across yet, anyway).
