@@shawnwells926 I have not tried it.

@@seasonsofwonder hello and welcome. I’m glad you’re here, even if your child is younger it truly helps you prepare for the future. I wish I had thought to look in UA-cam when my son was younger!

@@antlersandgills wow! Sounds like we’re living parallel lives this year! I’m glad to know we weren’t the only ones who just couldn’t get through Catherine, Called Birdy. I’ll have my notetaking video up very soon!

@@elisabeth... hello! I’m so glad to hear Oak Meadow is working out for you and your family. I’ll definitely be sharing how we’ve done notetaking this year. It’s our first year focusing on note taking and I think it’s been a great help!

Hi! Such a nice video! I love your voice. You sound so calm and positive. My son is also 7th grade, 12 years old. Your son sounds a lot like mine - hard to start school in the morning, gets distracted a lot. What we figured out is to do math first thing in the morning, before breakfast. He does math much faster in the morning. Then he has an hour on the computer. I know it is not going to work for every family but this is what works for us. Computer motivates him to not procrastinate with math. After that we do read aloud/reading and walk, or walk and read aloud/reading. Then, the rest of schoolwork, usually after lunch. I’m very interested to hear more on note taking. Would you also share how much work your son does independently. Good luck!

@ hello! Thanks for watching! I love that he is motivated to do math in the morning with help of computer time after. The only time I feel my son is motivated and doesn’t get as distracted is if he will be meeting up with friends after his work is done, then he is able to focus and get it done. I wonder if a little computer time would help motivate him too! As far as independent work, he does spelling, grammar, and all assignments independently. I help him with learning the material before the assignments. He used to read the lessons himself first and then I would come in, read, and discuss it with him before he did the assignments but that was taking too much time, so now we just read it together. The note taking video should be up very soon.

@@Bob-d7r1v 😅🤣

@@ivelissebouet9563 hello. It has been a long time but if I’m remembering correctly we used a dictionary. We had a Webster children’s dictionary at that time and I truly believe that’s what we used. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

@@howweschool Thanks for your response. Blessings🌟

@@elisabeth... 🤣 it’s a reflection of his personality 😅 we love having these balloon dogs in there, they bring a sense of fun

@@howweschool I have 9 and 13 year old boys, and their personalities are very similar😂 gotta keep things fun and entertaining!

@@elisabeth... we definitely need to keep it fun!

@@Hot_Springs_Homeschool thank you so much!

@@ml7363 hello. We do still use this program. His typing has come a long way since. We have a hard time being dedicated to things on our computer and if we were more consistent in doing the program I believe he would have mastered it by now. I will say, he does know where all the letters are and is pretty proficient but I wouldn’t say he’s mastered it yet!

@@BaileyAcademy thank you for spending some time watching my video!

@@elisabeth... I’m so excited to hear your middle schooler enjoys Phonetic Zoo. My job is to figure it all out this weekend and start next week. Thanks for sharing how you’re using it!

@@middleearthmom yay. I can’t wait to share it!

@@WhimsicalFamilyLife I will definitely report back after we’ve used it enough to know if it works for us. I hope you guys have a wonderful homeschool year! I miss your videos.

@@howweschool thank you. I keep thinking ill.get back to them and then life gets even busier

@@WhimsicalFamilyLife I completely under this!

@@kellydugan7553 I will show you the ways 🤣🤣 In all honesty, every year we all get a little better and a little wiser. If I had only known the things I know now when I started! But this binder is this year’s new thing to keep me on track. Hopefully it’ll work!

@@WhimsicalFamilyLife thank you! I love that she’s doing a graphic novel book club, so much fun. I hope they both enjoy the Monkey King!

@@PlannerHomeschoolingMom thank you! Yes, not having the materials for science labs in our house means they’ll definitely get pushed back and we’ll do it when we’re well done studying that unit 😅

@@howweschool LOL sometimes I have all the things we need and still don't do them.

@@PlannerHomeschoolingMom lol. Yes, this also happens here 🤣 But if I has all the items there’s a better chance that I’ll do it and on time lol.

@@elisabeth... it’s so hard to find the right curriculum and sometimes it works great for a while and then seems to not work anymore. We keep Oak Meadow as our spine. Everything we do is tied in somehow to the lessons in there. I will say, it is pricey but I’ve tried to go without it and spent just as much if not more. A lot of the extra books we add in can be borrowed from a library and there are plenty of crafts/hands-on projects one can do with household items! I hope you find the curriculum that fits you and your family!!

@@howweschool I like the idea of using OM as the spine and then adding in extras as needed. I have 3 kiddos so I'll at least get my money's worth out of it😂 I know we want to continue using Curiosity Chronicles(we started with a different history curriculum and quickly realized it wasn't working for us) so it's nice to see you also combine and OM and CC!

@@elisabeth... CC is our favorite history curriculum to pair with OM. It does mean (especially in the older years) that we cut a lot of the meat out of the curriculum but we always do at least the audiobook! We love the audiobook. We find the chapters that coincide with what we’re learning and go from there. With three kids you’ll get your money’s worth with anything you purchase that you like! Sounds like you’re working on having an amazing year!

@@howweschool I was so excited about the audio book! I have a toddler so finding time to read out loud can be difficult😂

@@elisabeth... I only have one and the audiobook helps me out so I’m sure it’s helpful with multiples and a toddler!

@@elisabeth... thank you, these built-ins are a huge positive for this room. It’s just about complete in here and ready for its close-up!

@@BaileyAcademy I felt so lucky winning a DK book and it’s the one I wanted to get for this school year!!! Finding one at the used bookstore was the icing on the cake!

@@tc5028 the current price is $67 for 5 years. It’s amazingly reasonable and we still only have good things to say about this program!

@@howweschool yippy! Thanks for your reply :)

@@tc5028 you’re welcome! I hope I’m right on my answer but from what I recall it is for the five years and a great program.

So exciting!! I hope you guys have an amazing year! I’m hoping this supply list and bin is successful

@@howweschool thank you! I hope you guys do too ☺

@@WhimsicalFamilyLife I would definitely wait until these are on sale, I personally don’t feel they’re worth full price. Here’s the link for the containers: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CWLBD295?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

@@porschiahaleywade8467 I’m so glad to hear it didn’t feel too long! It didn’t feel too long making it either for the same reason, it felt like I was catching up with friends!!

@@lisabarman6020 I’m so happy you find so many of these helpful for you and your family! I do not have an Amazon storefront, maybe I should.

@@lisabarman6020 thanks to your comment I have started an amazing storefront. I’m slowly adding the things we have loved or have purchased. Thanks for the push!

@@missloki8764 thank you so much!

@@melissalee2286 I’m so happy you enjoyed one of our older videos! I can let you know now that the Bumper Car Math was not a favorite for us. I hope you found items you’d love to use in your homeschool! Thanks for watching!

@@Michelgia523 thank you!

@@danahall1282 hello. I got the planner off of Amazon. Here’s the link: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09N6SZJNY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

@@EricaLucasLoves this seems to be the popular opinion for a spelling program. I’m going to look into it and see if we can implement it into our year! Thank you.

@@middleearthmom thank you. Phonetic Zoo seems to be the popular option so I think we will try to see if this will work for us. We do love IEW so I have a feeling we’ll love this too.

@@middleearthmom we didn’t get to lightning lit last year so we’re hoping to get to it this year.

@@WhimsicalFamilyLife thank you. I can’t wait to see how this Spanish works out. Not sure if it’s much of a curriculum or more of a workbook but being fluent I think I should be able to handle it, we’ll see.

@@dariusmannino6235 I’ll definitely look into Phonetic Zoo. Thank you!

phonetic zoo is great, if you just search 500 top misspelled words and print the list to use that would be plenty for the year too

@@ivelissebouet9563 if you do get around to it I hope you love it!

@@greencreekheart thank you!

@@tracylynn8101 I guess I’ll have to make a combination of long and short videos! It seems people do enjoy the long chatty ones as well.

@@tracylynn8101 thank you so much!

I’ve seen Denison math shared around quite a bit. I’m going to look into it, from what I remember seeing it wasn’t that budget friendly but I could be mistaken. Thanks for the recommendations. I will also put up some chatty videos as you’re not the only to say they enjoy chatty videos!

Thank you! I hope you all have a wonderful summer as well 💕

Thank you! Sometimes I really feel uncomfortable saying how difficult it was for us to school during home renovations, as I know it’s such a small problem in comparison to really problems, lol.

Thank you so much! You’re the best 😊 I love chatting away but I know I can go overboard, lol. I also often watch other UA-camrs while I do housework and do look for longer videos when doing housework. I’ll need to find a balance. I’m hoping we get some pre-algebra suggestions! All the solutions for the OM level 7 are in the back of the student workbook. You can leave them there or rip them out so that you have them. Hope that helps!

We had the solutions to Om 6 (super old version) but it doesn’t show HOW the problems are solved. So I had to spend time reading the lesson, and working problems if she got stuck. I think that will get harder and harder 🤪

@@kellydugan7553 correct, it doesn’t show how to solve the problems. I usually read up a week ahead because of not he’s going to learn that I don’t remember half of this stuff, lol. It would be great if they showed the how.

We had a great year! We switched math programs (to Math with Confidence) for my younger two a few months into the year, so didn’t finish their current level, but it was such a great fit for all. I was thrilled with how independent my oldest could be with assignments!

@@kellydugan7553 I’m so glad to hear it was a great year in your home 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 How did you like Math with Confidence?

Love love love Math with Confidence. So sad it doesn’t go high enough for my oldest. Wish I was taught math the way it approaches it.

@@kellydugan7553 I’ve only tried OM, beast academy, CTC, TGTB, and Evan Moor. Now I wish I would tried Math with Confidence. Jam just liked OM math so we stuck with it and didn’t try very many others as to not overwhelm ourselves, ON worked and we stuck with it. I’m glad this worked so well for you guys!!

So glad you saw our video pop up!! Yay! We will definitely share the supplements we used for history this year!

Hello. My son’s favorites were the Pharoah Box, Alexander the Great Box, Ancient China, Pompeii, Olmecs, and Australia. I think it really depends on what activities your child enjoys. Jam loves painting and things he can reuse (boomerang, kite, etc.).

Thank you, I missed being here so much! I hope you guys had a wonderful school year! I don’t know how resilient we were this year, lol. We just got up and left often, hence why we won’t be done with the curriculum until sometime in July. I kept reminding myself I chose these renovations. I’ll try to make a video or post with all the places we went to in Greece!!

💕 thank you!

Thank you so much!! 💕

Thank you!
