I recently discovered your page because I am hoping to adopt when I have children. However, I was also homeschooled my whole life, and I believe that is the sole reason was I was so successful in higher education (I graduated with my Master's degree at 20). The flexibility and individual attention really allowed me to excel and I just wanted to say I love your page too! Hahah
This was such good advise. My 13 year old daughter has been home schooling for the past 5 months since all schools in the UK closed. It’s been a shock to the system to say the least. My son attends an independent school which offers amazing alternative way of teaching children with additional needs and I was shocked to find how much more enjoyable it was to learn this way. I think all schools could take a leaf out of their book.
Yes for the toddler bins! They don’t even have to fancy. I filled my kids with toilet paper tubes, little containers they could play with, beans or rice, magnets, popsicle sticks / anything! Love all your other advice too 😊
Finally after 6 years the last year was my first letting go and enjoying home school and finding the true joy and just chilling out a bit. My kids are relaxed my teens are actually not fighting me to do schoolwork and thankfully my 1st grader is now old enough to focus and have fun and learn!!!
Such good tips, Angela. I homeschooled for 15 years and am by no means a genius. I believe desire goes a long way and nobody cares more about your kids than you do. Of course, prayer is essential. Hang in there moms. You can do it.
This spoke to me! I only have one child, she’s about to turn 2. I’ve looked at all these channels of moms who have full on “class” with these tiny children. I have tried it and I too am overwhelmed by my daughter’s lack of interest and ability to understand, stay put etc. Of course! Developmentally a 2 year old’s attention span is very short. But I agree, the feeling of comparison and also being realistic and not turning it into a stressful situation. Thank you. I feel so relieved and refreshed by hearing your perspective.
People who direct their child's learning at age almost-2 are the ones who are missing the boat, not you... My son is also about to turn 2. There are many amazing Montessori and sensory activities we could do together. We do 1 every week or even less, when I feel like it! He's learning a ton just by playing, as the other commenter said!
“ a puzzle you kind of have to put together” YES! Thank you! 4& almost 7 year old so working on 1st grade and transitional kinder coming up ... def helps looking at it like a puzzle in terms of juggling the 2 grades. ❤️
Thanks you so so much for not having music playing in the background! I'm noticing more and more youtubers playing music in the the background while they are talking and not to be mean or critical, but it just makes my brain feel like its in a blender. So I thanks you so so much for you wonderful well made videos!
Thank you so much for this. I watched ALL your homeschool videos and they have helped tons so far! As a single momma it means a lot to have so many tips and advice from someone as wonderful and knowledgeable 💕 hugs from California.
A good suggestion I heard recently about homecoming. Someone was worried about not knowing what they would be teaching their child. They said don't stress it if you don't know. Get your child and yall look it up together. Make it a team effort to look that problem or situation up. ❤
Yes! My daughter and I do this. Teaches them humility! If mom or dad admit that they don't know everything (gasp!!) and aren't afraid to look something up, it shows the little people that it is 100% ok to not know everything. Plus, you can show different ways of looking things up!
Lauryn Crump I distinctly remember one moment when I was in about third grade when my Dad told me that he and Mom couldn’t homeschool me and my younger brother. He picked me up from the extended day program at school and I was telling him about the dolphin unit we were doing in science (I lived very close to the beach in San Diego at the time) as we were walking to the car. He replied that he didn’t know enough about dolphins to possibly be able to teach me at home. While that might have been valid, the reality was actually that he was on active duty with the Navy and Mom worked full time as an accountant, so that is primarily why they couldn’t have. As a third grade teacher now, I don’t have a dolphin unit, but there’s definitely tons of things in the curriculum that I have to look up and my kids are fully aware of it and seem cool with it.
I wish you all the best with The Homeschool Group. I'm excited for a good resource for those who are going to homeschool their kids. God's blessings to you all for taking on the education of your children.
Great vid and superb editing. Don’t know how you incorporate so much but this 71 year old Grandma appreciates you. Pore a blessing to not only your family, but all of out there in TH-cam community.
I’m really excited! My son is 18 months old right now and we’re paying off debt so we’re throwing aaaall extra money at that, but by the time I’m actually starting we should be able to join the group! It’s a very reasonable price and I really look forward to having it as a resource!!
Amen Angie!! You go Girl! You've so got this homeschool thing! I loved hearing your philosophy and managment of your homeschool unit. I homeschooled 2 out of 4 of my children through Jr and Sr High School. The other 2, I schooled kindergarten. (They're 10 yrs younger) We used a homeschool Co-op where once a week we'd go meet for classes. It was great! Also there are special event tickets for homeschooling students. You're doing great!
i looove these videos as someone studying to be a teacher, it’s so interesting to see everyone’s different ways of teaching and everyone can learn from each other :)
It’s good to see someone with experience in homeschooling guiding other parents, your knowledge is powerful Angela. Thank you 🙏🏻 for empowering all of us. ❤️🌸
These such great pieces of advice!!! Thank you!!! We’ll be doing our first year of home schooling this year!!! I am a little nervous but SUPER excited!!! Have a bunch of your old videos saved to watch later about homeschooling haha
Another amazing preschool curriculum is Five in a Row. Very gentle, flexible, literature based and fun! We have wonderful warm memories of our FIAR days, which is how we SHOULD view the preschool years!
I love your attitude about not comparing them to other kids! Everyone learns at different rates and that’s perfectly fine. Forcing everyone to learn the same things at the same rate is so damaging. It makes kids not want to learn at all
Yes! I agree with how 2-3 year olds don’t need an actual curriculum. I was trying to homeschool my 3 year old (she just turned 3) since she was 2. But it’s honestly so stressful on both of us!!
My 5th grade daughter will be doing remote learning this year! We’ll see how it goes! Her first day is August 24th! I have extra materials if they’re needed! My mom has ordered her monthly subscription little passports US states and the science kit! I also have highlights top secret agent world countries too!
The option of homeschooling is so important. I'm jealous as my county doesn't allow it. I know that my childhood would have been much better had I been homeschooled. Your kids are really lucky!
I agree, the option is extremely important. It was the same for me, my childhood dream was not having to go to school but learning what I was truly interested in. But that was not an option back then, and still isn't (Germany). Luckily, I now live somewhere where I can homeschool my own children.
I would move if I was told it's not allowed. Been homeschooling my brood of 6 for 12 years. My kids hated regular school. Oldest 2 went for a few years, homeschooling they loved once we began. My youngest never went to regular school and the mere thought of stepping into a school would freak them out.
I am so glad that I found your channel! I love watching you and your sweet family! May God continue to bless you guys and keep you all healthy and safe!
My daughter is 16. I was primary breadearner, and never ventured to homeschool- and have great regrets about it. I’m hounding in to my daughters head how much I hope she will one day be a homeschooling mom for my grandkids.
Also I want to add: thankful that my kiddo sees the downfall of classes offered at her high school. All the classes she wants aren’t available, such as course in math that has to do with finances, taxes, retirement, starting small business. Yay, her.
I’d love to hear how you’ve taught Rosie! We are starting homeschool this fall using TGATB and Masterbooks this year and for my you best he has high functioning ASD and I know I’ll miss his OT/PT/speech at school I’m trying to figure out how to teach him reading and math I’m a way that he’ll understand. I think that’s my biggest hurdle I’m worried about (my 4th grader is excited and looking forward to homeschooling!)
Love following your channels! Just a little heads up, you said, “Lisa, from a Farmhouse Full” instead of “Farmhouse on Boone”. Thought you might appreciate the clarification.
I wouldn't homeschool my 2 year old, but she gets cranky if she feels left out. We count bears together and do the tiniest phonics lesson ever. She's just looking at our phonics book and repeating the proper sounds for like a minute, but after that she's happy and just plays.
Hi there, watched your channel for ages and just love you and your family. Please can I ask what music you use for your channel? I have my own little channel and your music is just lovely 😊
Putting things in the toilet that don't belong, running outside naked!!! Have you been spying on me? Hahahaha 😂 Lots of lots of grace when first starting to homeschool and even when you're on your 6th year lol
I have just graduated as an elementary school teacher in the UK and would love to hear your recommendations for books/resources for each school subject! x
Thank you for saying that sometimes toddlers are just going to cause chaos and that's okay. If I try busy boxes, my kids doing school will want to play with those instead of doing school or the non-school kids will fight over the toys. I suppose that's a hazard of having three sets of twins in just over three years.
How do you make sure the kids who aren't required for the group subjects are going to catch up to the family when the time comes without having the other children sit through the lesson again?
My children have repeated the same lessons over the years, in history. I simply give the older kids deeper work, such as research papers or an appropriate book to read in addition to the lesson. Does that make sense?
History and Science are done in a 4 year cycle. You repeat the focus (american history, biology etc) every 4 years. Public schools do this as well. Teaching many ages at once you touch on the topics when they are young and go deeper into the subject matter as they get older. High school is often independent for them. I hope that makes sense?
History and science are basically review each year all through school until high school. They don’t learn everything in say first grade and then it’s never introduced. Each time they learn about a topic they retain more of the information
Loving these videos. Just starting homeschooling for my 5 year old... A very serious question. How in the world do I read books outloud without yawning a 1000 times?!
My son is starting distanced learning kindergarten this year and I’m already frazzled (school hasn’t even started yet). I stayed home with him 5.5 years (I only have a part time job) on the premise that I can go to work full time once he goes to school. But that’s not happening and I have NO idea what to even expect and my boss keeps asking when I can work more hours. I do have an extra strong willed and persnickety kid too, so the whole business got me stressed out
I’m starting my 17th year. I teach special ed as well. I just want to let you know, it gets easier! You’ll likely be exhausted this year, but all of your work will pay off. My advice would be to schedule something nice for yourself each day. Taking a walk from 4:00-4:30 or calling a friend at 7 can make all the difference!
Hi Angela, I have been a long time watcher and subscriber. This is my first comment! What a great idea this community you are starting is! I was wondering if you need older (as in years homeschooling, not age ;)) homeschool moms to be a part of it? I kind of want to sign up, but not sure if I should. I don't really need much help, but would love to be a help to others. My oldest (18) just graduated this year. I also have a 16, 13, and 5 yr. old. I have homeschooled all of them from the beginning. I too was homeschooled for most of my education.
Thanks for the video. The info is in the comments, but would be great if you lingered just a touch longer while holding the books up on the screen. Otherwise great content and editing. thanks.
As a teacher, I would say you're absolutely on point with not trying to be their teacher. Trying to teach the traditional way at home I think would be catastrophic and just create issues between parent and child. Teaching in the classroom is also moving more towards teachers being guides rather than the traditional teacher role. I've been out of the classroom since last November due to the birth of my first child, so I don't know what awaits when I go back in, and I'm both nervous and excited. I do live in Norway, so we have less of the virus at the moment, but that could change.
So we were supposed to start school last week. We are in the middle of fixing up our house to get it on the market. Michigan is very nice for homeschooling. But anyway, how do I continue to paint touchups and have my teenagers do school?
Thank you!!! Thank you! I want to homeschool my 12 yr old daughter with an IEP. (Individual education program). Due to Covid and a compromised immune system. Any and all tips welcome!!! I will most likely be homeschooling my 7th grader son as well ..... HELP please
Shannon Galloway See what's available in your state. In Ohio, we can get scholarship money for children with an IEP for a certain amount of money depending on diagnosis and needs. That money can be used by finding providers who are approved for the scholarship. These providers may include tutoring, various therapies, or both. You can also search for homeschool groups on FB on a national, state, and local level. Special needs homechool groups are on there, too. Some homeschool programs and curricula are geared toward children with special needs. Easy Peasy is a free online provider of courses. You can find many free printables and such online, too. Just put in what you want in a search and you will find. Also, you can ask any questions in homeschool groups as there many seasoned homeschoolers there.
Find the best way in which they learn as you have more options than when you are just sitting in a classroom. For me when I was homeschooled I really struggle to visualise things and as I was doing science I learnt using lots of diagrams and videos because that meant I actually retained the knowledge. Khan academy is a really good free resource I found
I’m a middle school special education teacher. There’s a wide range of students who qualify for an IEP, so it’s hard to share any thoughts without more detailed information. I hope it goes well for all of you!
Seek out other students to tutor! I'm a medical student and a good portion of my rent is paid by tutoring high school literature. Teaching students, med students etc often want the extra money as well as the work experience and experience talking to kids for their future careers
I’m really excited! My son is 18 months old right now and we’re paying off debt so we’re throwing aaaall extra money at that, but by the time I’m actually starting we should be able to join the group! It’s a very reasonable price and I really look forward to having it as a resource!!

One of my toddler's favorite toys is just plain possible sticks 😄. He loves toilet paper tubes too

My child wasn't ready for the "preschool"( or daycare) setting until age 4. Don't compare just thrive
Just play. A 2 year old learns by playing.
People who direct their child's learning at age almost-2 are the ones who are missing the boat, not you... My son is also about to turn 2. There are many amazing Montessori and sensory activities we could do together. We do 1 every week or even less, when I feel like it! He's learning a ton just by playing, as the other commenter said!

I love your attitude about not comparing them to other kids! Everyone learns at different rates and that’s perfectly fine. Forcing everyone to learn the same things at the same rate is so damaging. It makes kids not want to learn at all
Yes! Teaching them how to learn!!! I’ve always said the same thing. This will benefit them their entire lives 💖
This really was great! This is my ninth year
and I NEED all these reminders!!!

THANKS SOOOO MUCH! very blessed and excited.
Great editing btw 😉
Love your vids keep it up and I also love your kids
My daughter is 16. I was primary breadearner, and never ventured to homeschool- and have great regrets about it. I’m hounding in to my daughters head how much I hope she will one day be a homeschooling mom for my grandkids.
Also I want to add: thankful that my kiddo sees the downfall of classes offered at her high school. All the classes she wants aren’t available, such as course in math that has to do with finances, taxes, retirement, starting small business. Yay, her.
Wow this is so great that you are so calm and nice and I just love that ❤️
I’d love to hear how you’ve taught Rosie! We are starting homeschool this fall using TGATB and Masterbooks this year and for my you best he has high functioning ASD and I know I’ll miss his OT/PT/speech at school I’m trying to figure out how to teach him reading and math I’m a way that he’ll understand. I think that’s my biggest hurdle I’m worried about (my 4th grader is excited and looking forward to homeschooling!)
Love your videos!!!❤️❤️
Thank you ladies I love the homeschool videos.
Love following your channels! Just a little heads up, you said, “Lisa, from a Farmhouse Full” instead of “Farmhouse on Boone”. Thought you might appreciate the clarification.
I wouldn't homeschool my 2 year old, but she gets cranky if she feels left out. We count bears together and do the tiniest phonics lesson ever. She's just looking at our phonics book and repeating the proper sounds for like a minute, but after that she's happy and just plays.
Thanks for sharing allll the advice :)
Hi there, watched your channel for ages and just love you and your family. Please can I ask what music you use for your channel? I have my own little channel and your music is just lovely 😊

Thank you for saying that sometimes toddlers are just going to cause chaos and that's okay. If I try busy boxes, my kids doing school will want to play with those instead of doing school or the non-school kids will fight over the toys. I suppose that's a hazard of having three sets of twins in just over three years.
Thanks for this 😊😊
Such good advise!!!
Thank you!! This was such a helpful video!!
@MotherCould has LOTS of DIY activities for littles!!!
Buenos días hermosa familia🙏🏻Dios quiera algún día puedan hacer traducción al español 😊🎉🎊👏🏻
Buenos días! ☀️
Hola Myrna! Le decimos a Angie que me pague para hacer las traducciones? Si? :)
Very nice i rlly wanna homeschool my future childrrn
Thank you for this!
Angie were you doing a classical curriculum, and you switched? As in, stuff like "The Well Trained Mind" by Susan Bauer or some stuff?
How do you make sure the kids who aren't required for the group subjects are going to catch up to the family when the time comes without having the other children sit through the lesson again?
Yes! I'd like to know as well

This is one of the top things I'm wondering about
Loving these videos. Just starting homeschooling for my 5 year old...
A very serious question. How in the world do I read books outloud without yawning a 1000 times?!
Girl! Audio books are your new best friend! We use audible and overdrive through our library.
😅😅this is me
Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone* (you accidentally said Farmhouse Full)
My son is starting distanced learning kindergarten this year and I’m already frazzled (school hasn’t even started yet). I stayed home with him 5.5 years (I only have a part time job) on the premise that I can go to work full time once he goes to school. But that’s not happening and I have NO idea what to even expect and my boss keeps asking when I can work more hours. I do have an extra strong willed and persnickety kid too, so the whole business got me stressed out
Not a homeschooler or even a mom but I am going to be a first year special ed teacher this fall amongst all the crazy that this world is right now! 😅
I’m starting my 17th year. I teach special ed as well. I just want to let you know, it gets easier! You’ll likely be exhausted this year, but all of your work will pay off.

That money can be used by finding providers who are approved for the scholarship. These providers may include tutoring, various therapies, or both. You can also search for homeschool groups on FB on a national, state, and local level. Special needs homechool groups are on there, too. Some homeschool programs and curricula are geared toward children with special needs. Easy Peasy is a free online provider of courses. You can find many free printables and such online, too. Just put in what you want in a search and you will find. Also, you can ask any questions in homeschool groups as there many seasoned homeschoolers there.
Find the best way in which they learn as you have more options than when you are just sitting in a classroom. For me when I was homeschooled I really struggle to visualise things and as I was doing science I learnt using lots of diagrams and videos because that meant I actually retained the knowledge. Khan academy is a really good free resource I found
I’m a middle school special education teacher. There’s a wide range of students who qualify for an IEP, so it’s hard to share any thoughts without more detailed information. I hope it goes well for all of you!
Not in New York. Teachers are paid very well.
Seek out other students to tutor! I'm a medical student and a good portion of my rent is paid by tutoring high school literature. Teaching students, med students etc often want the extra money as well as the work experience and experience talking to kids for their future careers
This! Definitely, if they have money, uni students often want money any way they can have! (I did anyway)
Are you going to do a July book video?
Can I ask where the dollhouse (at 18:30) is from?

I’m really excited! My son is 18 months old right now and we’re paying off debt so we’re throwing aaaall extra money at that, but by the time I’m actually starting we should be able to join the group! It’s a very reasonable price and I really look forward to having it as a resource!!
