Hi! I'm Laurel. I am the Chief Learning Officer of our homeschool. Our main educational philosophy is the Robinson Curriculum (RC). I augment with some additional subjects and resources that I have created and share about. I also share other simple homemaking strategies that help our homeschool flow more easily. From time to time I will share house projects as we are slowly renovating our 100 year old Folk Victorian home. I will show you how I simplify, organize, and strategize our home education. Follow along as we explore all things Christian family life, home, homemaking, homeschool, and enjoy life to the fullest.

I have been wanting to try to Berean books just not sure where to start or if it matters I’m not a science or history gal so I feel torn lol. I have a 4th grader
Praying for a speedy recovery for your hubby. Thank you for being my folding laundry buddy (it was a huge mountain!) & for the enjoyable music selections! I just love your homeschool room 😍Have a blessed week.
@@monicaresendiz1272 thank you for hanging out with me! I love our schoolroom too.
Beautiful school room
Thank you! I am thankful for it.
Love the music selections. 😊
@@kcalhoun0580 good! I was hoping people would.
Are your boys just sitting and lißtening while you read? Or are they playing, working on anything? I enjoy seeing what books you use!
@@juliequates9529 just listening but often drawing in their sketch books
Love TBR! I have the kids book that i think we will to this year.
I do curbside pickup so almost all groceries are on my debit card. I enjoyed seeing your budget process!
@@juliequates9529 thank you!
King Alfred’s English sounds great- I will look for it for free at a library or online!
I love your story about homeschooling! Good for you- brave decision!! I was blessed to be surrounded by lots of homeschoolers I could learn from. But what courage it takes at the beginning! I’m with you though, it’s so precious to have that sweet time with the kids. You are figuring it out!
@@TN-xi8rb yes, so much growth happening!
The books look great, but I think elementary science is fine to do for free as well. Library books work great. I split a spiral notebook into Life Science/Earth Science/Physical Science. The kids drew pictures of volcanoes in the EArth section, plant diagrams in Life section, Levers in Physical science, etc. So any books we read can fit into one of those 3 categories, then keep adding from year to year. We got some older textbooks someone set out on a FREE table at a homeschool group. They worked great! Nature studies could be added. So, those books look good, but also be encouraged you really need almost no curriculum to go forward from here & they can get a great education!!. My daughter in 11th had no problem with a college biology class- she knew how to read & learn and write!
@@TN-xi8rb I agree actually
Acts 17:11 will tell you who the Bereans were 😁
Thanks for the update💛 Sounds like great start to your year 🎉 for your son and him working through Number Stories 3- is he in 3rd grade? I have Number Stories 1 and 2. Is book 2 okay with 2nd grade? Love hearing your homeschool journey!
He's in fourth grade but I think it's meant for 3rd grade. Yes, they were written to match the grade of their number but I don't worry too much about that. Just whatever they are read for. I'm currently doing book 2 with my first grader but not a full lesson each day. Probably half. I love these books!
@@landofkakiakahomeschool thank you so much 😊
I've heard a lot of good things about the Berean Builders science series.
Where did you get number stories book 3? I've looked for it but I couldn't find it. It might've been only for sale, not online like 1 and 2.
@@alishaberrey4479 I stalked the internet until one popped up. I think it was eBay. Try looking for Study Arithmetics 3. I believe it’s the same book published under a different name.
Have you heard of “Math Mammoth?” Or looked into it. If so what were your thoughts.?
@@kcalhoun0580 I’ve heard of it but I haven’t looked into it myself. It’s hard when you don’t have a physical copy to look through.
@@landofkakiakahomeschool it sure is and samples aren’t much to really go off of. Thanks again for all your videos and time you take to help moms out like me. Blessings to all!
0:09 😌 I haven’t watched homeschooling videos in a loooong time. Your video popped up & I immediately smiled when you held up the science book. There’s something very satisfying about a pretty, sturdy, hard cover textbook.
@@thriftyminia yes! Isn’t that funny?
Would love to see a Berean Lesson live!
Oh good idea!
If you have Hoopla, they have a couple of the Berean Builders books to rent as audiobooks.
I hope you enjoy your new books! Our children enjoy reading the Apologia books during quiet reading times...they tend to read them over and over and I think they remember more of them used that way. For group I definitely believe more variety is fun for everyone.
@@berrypatch5583 Thank you! I love that about homeschool, that the kids get to keep their books and revisit them. You’re right, good for retention.
We absolutely love Berean Builders curriculum! (Berean as in the Bible… dig-in and research like the Bereans) 😊 On their website they have online class options, but they can be a bit pricey depending on what “pricey “ is for you
@@nwilson942 I had no idea there was a Bible connection with the name! So neat! I can’t wait to look that up.

Hi, is there a book or something that teaches "diacritical marks"?
@@kcalhoun0580 the McGuffey readers include them. You may find them in a dictionary. I’ll look around and see if I can come up with a better answer and share in a video.
@@landofkakiakahomeschool 😊 I did notice them in there, I guess I need to teach them to me first😅 Thanks again.
I am not great at language arts. Do you have a PDF copy of the answer key? I am not sure that I have the capacity to create my own at this moment in time. I have three neurodivergent learners and not a lot of time.
@@praylovehomeschool3997 I understand but unfortunately I don’t.
Have you heard of Homeschool Hall? Its a really great way to record your stuff online. Its once a year payment, but its really worth it and easy.
Praise the Lord for that provision- a big reimbursement! Good job saving it- that would be awesome if you can pay in full because they should give you a discount!
Gosh, I hope so!
I love all the things you do and share! Where can I find the free bookmarks? Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I can't remember if the bookmarks were a freebie back when I made this video but they are available now in my Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/listing/1433494165/language-arts-bookmarks?click_key=62c90feff0c40c214634c3ee193c5da2f13d1308%3A1433494165&click_sum=4f4be049&ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1&sts=1
@@landofkakiakahomeschool thank you!!
Your videos are so helpful. I’m on a tight budget this year . I was wondering if there is a freebie for the rule cards. Thanks in advance
Hi friend. Message me through Etsy and I'll get you sorted. www.etsy.com/shop/LandOfKakiak?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
My 8 year old (9 now) loooved his crunchlabs subscription! He wants to be an engineer too 😄
@@Busy.and.Blessed oh good endorsement!
Hello, did you end up using these? Do you think this specific book would be good for a 5th grader without any past grammar instruction? If not, what would you recommend? Thanks for any help?
Hi! Thanks for the question. We did not end up using it, just because things were going so well with the plan I already had in place (McGuffey's, Gentle Grammar, & later Writing and Rhetoric, BUT I do think it's a good choice. If I had not already found the McGuffey's and made my plans around them this may have been what we did. I think fifth grade is a great time to start this. They'll just learn what they need for grammar as they go through it. I hope that helps!
Hello are the LA and Math Sequences available for purchase?
They are available for free! drive.google.com/file/d/1w39nOu1gW9W0_2ZW7L3ULoNu3Fbnfmx1/view?usp=sharing
@@landofkakiakahomeschoolThank you🥰
2:40 how does your child know that the letter A has three sounds? Thanks
So before I started the Primer, when we were just learning the abc's, I taught him all the sounds of each letter. I did this starting in preschool with flashcards and letter tracing. Here's a link to the resources I used. www.etsy.com/shop/LandOfKakiak?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=42001072
What kind of printer do you have? And what are your thoughts on it?!
Here it is. I like it better than my old Eco Tank. Prints much nicer and more reliably. I haven't ran into any issues so far. amzn.to/3Z0oP4f
What brand of pens are those you use to check their work with?

Paragraph! And always such a great content ❤
@@josselleW thank you so much!
MCP Math focuses on making tens and this is how I teach mathematics. In the worksheets it shows base ten rods over and over. It is an underrated program.
The best first year is A First Year in Number. It sets such a solid base. We do R and S Counting with nunbers, CLE K2 which teaches counting and recognition, Number Stories (mainly for fun, but teaches a good base for K), and then we use A First Year in Number...it is the best.
I love watching your content. We are currently using the originals (although I do have the revised editions, also 😬). For spelling, what are your thoughts on using your spelling program while doing reading lessons with originals?
@@brookepitts302 Thank you so much! I think my spelling program can be added to any language arts base. It’s very straightforward.
@@landofkakiakahomeschool Thank you!!!
@@landofkakiakahomeschoolalso, in case anyone doesn’t know.. Mott Media sells a Parent-Teacher guide for the originals. There are “Lesson Ideas” in the book for each lesson. Most point out the new phonograms for the lessons, as well as some Vocabulary.
Yes, please for paragraph writing. I really love your stuff. I had a stroke six months ago and I lost all my reading, writing and arithmetic. So I’ve used your inspiration in learning how to relearn my reading and writing. By the way, I’m in first grade reading level now.
@@sallymiller6173Wow! I didn’t know that could happen with a stroke. I’ve got you. Paragraphs coming up!
Hi! Thank you for this product and help in how to use it. Are you an RC purist?
@@kcalhoun0580 No, not pure but I bridge them pretty close by middle school. I created my Unofficial RC Notebooks for that.
Paragraph writing please!
@@JMU2512 yes ma’am
I have the same binding machine. I make my own planners and design/sell them to friends. I love my machine. I use laminated cardstock for the front and back covers which works great too.
