      This is interesting! I've never heard of IXL. We tried Night Zookeeper with the free trial and literally used the entire week back and forth with customer service in which we never got passed the log in portion. I'm happy I didn't just dive in and pay for it especially since I never got it to where we could actually use it. It was such a shame because I think the kiddos would have really enjoyed it.

    I understand the homeschooling multiple kids!!! I am currently homeschooling 3 kids and will be adding a 4th one next year with two younger kids to watch also!
    You have inspired me to consider TGTB just haven’t had a chance to talk to my husband yet about it before I place a big order.
    It is hard but so worth it!!!
    Keep up the great work!
    Your videos are always so encouraging to me!🥰

    I just started watching but I started 4 day school and the 5th day is for extras. (Weekly readers, extra help in a subject, crafts, or unit studies). I am enjoying relaxing more on Fridays.

    great video! We have been reading The Wild Robot as well! We are almost done. We started before we knew there was a movie. Did you know there are two more books? The Wild Robot escapes and the Wild Robot Protects. I did not know this until we were at Costco a couple weeks ago lol. My children love this series. Can't wait to watch the movie! Also, History can be so fun! I don't use any curriculum for History or science. For History we spin the globe and where we land is where we "fly" to. Then we learn as much as they want about that country. That is when I can incorporate So much History. We "travel" from state to state in our country as well. it is so much fun! Books, games and videos work great! I made passports and I got stamps off Amazon. you can dive into culture, landmarks, language....it's really endless. You are so creative I bet you could do that as well :)

    I struggle with 3 kids too. So i hope you find this comforting.
    Tgatb has been a blessing so far but its still hard even having graduated 2 (the 3 to teach part)
    I find its grading my oldest (7 th) because i have to grade and then regrade when she fixes.
    So ts just a LOT of grading on top of grading and teaching. The 2 younger i grade right away
    Non homeschool question" how much snow do you get there?
    Hubby and i just went to Banff. Your country just has some absolutely gorgeous places 😍.
    Im a new watcher and i am really looking forward to seeing your new home when its completed. And soo enjoy watching everything so far.
    Thanks!

      Aww, thank you!! 😊 I've never been to BC, but my sister moved there about 2 years ago, and I hope to visit. It sure is beautiful there! We'll probably get about 50 inches of snow this winter now that we moved up north 🥶 kids are excited for the snow.... me? Not so much 🤣

    My 1st grader has been struggling with phonics. We are still on level K TGTB. I got her a learn by sticker phonics book for less than $10 on Amazon and she’s been loving it and having so much fun! So she is doing Level K Mon-Wed and the sticker book on Thursday as a fun way to end our week.
    We are doing Spanish from Homeschool Languages and loving it! My kids play The Floor is Lava, Homeschool Languages style ALL the time lol! My middle child has also been saying Hola! to everyone we meet or pass by in the store 😂

    Reverse record keeping has always been what worked for us 😄 We are 6 weeks in and already having to change our flow. We school in blocks due to our current season of life right now and chanhed the order in which we do our subjects. We get the heavier subjects out of the way in our first block when our mimds are sharper 😂 and the funner things in the 2nd block.

    Yay for a great start! I can understand adding in another kiddo, it is hard at first to get in a flow. Great work!! It’s been a great first month for us as well, I have been dealing with a little attitude with my youngest, but that’s all part of the learning process too. Hoping for a beautiful October! ❤🎉🎉

    We are letting most of our TGTB go this year. Honestly, it was hard for me, but it just wasn't working anymore. Especially for my oldest. We started last when we dropped LA 4 and switched to EIW. We started the school year with Math 5 but are now switching as well. It's just too much and was causing too many tears and hate for math. We switched to Masterbook for math, which is a little too simple coming from TGTB, but it's been a break my kid needed. I really wish I could find something between the two for a perfect Math curriculum.

    Our month has been good. We took this week off for a break and got ready and celebrated my daughter's 4th birthday. TGATB is going well, and my son seems to be liking it. He does say math is too easy. He's in kindergarten. My daughter likes preschool. We will start back up Monday and go for 5 or 6 weeks before taking a break again.

      We want to see The Wild Robot, too. We finished the book back in March or April, and when they see the previews, they remember Roz and Brightbill. We are working on The Wild Robot Escapes. We really like it too.
