- Many homeschooling families enjoy notebooking as a way to engage their learners. In this video I share what notebooking looks like in our home.

Yes please! I’d definitely like to see your book of centuries!
I’ll work on this soon!
Yes please! I’d love to see a video on how you do book of centuries!
Noted! I’ll try and get that up here soon.
Thank you for sharing your precious children's notebooks! This was very inspiring for me for our coming year. Great video!
I’m so glad to hear it. Thanks for letting me know. 💕
This video is so helpful to me!! Thank you for sharing a peek into your notebooking adventures!
I’m so happy to hear it’s helpful. I’m always unsure exactly what to share, so I’m trying to base my videos off of requests.
I love your poetry practice. I just started doing it with my kiddo. It’s so fun!! Thanks for all the great ideas.
Absolutely! I’ve picked up so many great things from friends and mamas along the way. It’s a joy to be a part of this homeschool community.
Thank you, SaraRuth! I loved seeing your children’s journals. Super helpful!
I’d love to see a video on how you do a book of centuries!
I think I’ll get a video up about it soon. I’m introducing it to my rising third grader this year, so I need to make them.
Thank you! this was very helpful :)
Glad it was helpful! Do you already use notebooks in our homeschool?
At the end of our school year I immediately have my kids put their school keepsakes in a clear bin that permanently lives in their closet. They have an art binder, a scripture memory verse bag book, reading log booklet, and literature log binder, everything else gets thrown away.
How clever! I bet those will be dear items one day!
I’ve watched a few videos and love your content and soothing voice! I do find it hard to hear you at moments though, even with my full volume on. Hopefully there is a way to get a microphone closer. ❤ Thank you for your content!
Thanks so much for letting me know about the sound issue! I had no idea. I’ll see what I can do to improve the sound quality.
Very helpful video! I love your method! What do you use for your nature journal?
So happy this video was helpful! We like this (affiliate link) notebook for our nature journals because it holds watercolor and marker well.

Did you purchase the outer journal from JG? Thanks for making this video!
Hi Denise! I didn’t. Those are the ones I snagged from a shop closing sale on Etsy. Juniper Grove Journals aren’t as floppy as mine and are more structured. They have a higher price point, but it’s worth it. If you look on Etsy, you can search “leather traveler journals”. The ones we have were bought in 2018.
@@kindletogetherness Thanks Sarah! How many books do your journals hold?
@@denisechung7577 Such a good question. I have 6 in my eldest’s. I had to add a rubber band though. I bought those on Amazon.
Id love to hear your thoughts on a Y1 student who is expressing frustration about doing drawings for narrations. I had been writing down at least one daily of his narrations from our readings and he always complains about having to draw. What are your thoughts on this? Also what does Y1 copywork look like for a pre-reader?
Hi Haley! In truth, I never force my kids to illustrate narrations. So long as they are willing to narrate orally, that’s enough. Some kiddos won’t enjoy art and drawing and in regards to narrations, it’s not essential. Their assignment is the oral retelling. I take the pressure off and invite them to draw if they’d like, but I don’t push it at all. 💕
If the student can form all their letters, I start with copywork. Usually I have them choose from their memory verse or our hymn. I have them do copywork in a composition book for younger years with the wider lines for writing. Something like these: amzn.to/3OzEOjK
@@kindletogetherness that's great to know. Okay so if they can do some letters but not all, the copywork should just be a single letter until they know it then move on? Then just a single word once they know all letters? I'll try doing that with the narrations..maybe that's why he's pushing back because he feels forced. But in the context of drawing lessons (we have the drawing with children book from Mona something), you'd say that's okay to require?
@@haleyfink6325 If a student is still learning their letters, I’d not require copywork, but instead offer a handwriting curriculum until they master their letter formation.
Copywork is for teaching visualization of the text and then writing grammar, spelling, and punctuation of a great quality passage from memory. This helps the student master spelling, punctuation, and grammar without wrote instruction.
Regarding a special drawing class or lesson, if that’s important to you and on your schedule, then it’s fine to require, imo. I’d just be certain it is valued for a specific reason that you can express. That’s my personal opinion and not necessarily from Miss Mason’s principles.
Her ideas and pedagogy are not student centered or student led as some think. They are teacher led but always aim to respect the personhood of the child. So as the educator, you can decide if a course holds value. If it does, your child should master their will and attempt the task. Just be sure it’s a worthy task (what I was referencing above).
Ok, so the notebooks are used just once a week and the other days they are orally narrating? Did I understand that right?
If the student is in Form 1, it’s typically suggested they narrate all subject areas orally. After each reading, they orally narrate. Once a week, the parent will add a formal narration to a narration notebook until the student becomes responsible for that in Form 2.
Some of our notebooks, they use each time we come to that lesson (poetry, artist, natural history, etc). I’d not consider each one of these a narration notebook.
@@kindletogetherness ok great! Thank you for clarifying! I have a soon to be 9 year old and an 11 Yr old. We’re starting notebooking and I was thinking of one entry a day, but sounds like that’s too much. We could have a notebooking day, that may be nice.
