Thanks for watching!

Sorry I just had my answer in the video 😊

Wintertime , nice for stew, potato soup and corn muffins! Early Dinner about 6, younger three bedtime around 7pm, older 2 around 8pm and let them read themselves to sleep. Mom and Dad time, after 8pm!

No worries! They are close to yours in age - 5 and 3!

Thank you for watching! I am glad you enjoy them!

That sounds like a great evening routine.

Yes, it is so great for those with a Montessori background!

@ thanks for making the video, wishing you a happy new year 🤍

@@Lamamalou happy new year to you as well!

Yes, we celebrate both! We also light a Menorah for Hannukah (and talk about the meaning behind Hannukah) as we have close family who are Jewish.

That sounds lovely. Happy Solstice!

I don't use a put-together Montessori curriculum, but I use the Montessori math lessons in the early years, and incorporate the materials as a supplement to the Math Mammoth curriculum they start using in 1st or 2nd grade.

Yes! Great minds think alike! 😁

That's too bad that you had a bad experience with latin. I think curriculum and teachers can make a big difference, so I tried to find one that is clear and fun. I am choosing to have my children study latin for a couple of reasons. (1) The first is grammar - learning the grammar for latin helps to learn it for English and I am not making her do a separate grammar curriculum while she is doing latin. (2) Secondly is for vocabulary. There are many English words that derive from latin, and many of the tests required to get into universities here test students on vocabulary, so hopefully that will help them do better on those tests (and just have a better vocabulary). (3) Third is to give them a foundation to learn a modern foreign language. Even if they do not chose a language derived from latin, learning about conjugations and other aspects of grammar should make it a little easier. Of course, learning latin is not necessary to have a great education, so I am not judging anyone who does not chose to or does not have the opportunity to study it. But I do feel like it is a benefit to my children's education, so I chose to teach it to them. I hope that answers your question!

@@juliaathome Thank you for your answer, I see it from the other side, ​ I'm a native bilingual Spanish/Portuguese and also speak French, all the vocabulary and verb forms and all that were already in my DNA, but the declensions weren't, and I found them a pain in the **.

I think they are pretty too! They are fairy tale anthologies from Barnes & Noble. They have a line of collectible classic books that I like to pick up for gifts (for the kids and myself!).

Thank you so much! She is 5 years old, so just a bit older than your son.

Love to hear about another Montessori homeschooler! I got my plastic needles at Michaels - you can probably find them at Joanne or Hobby Lobby or other places like that. You could probably also find them online from those stores as well.

That is a great question and the short answer is I don't do it all well! I do have to feed us, so grocery shopping happens on the weekends (with some food prep if I can manage, but not often), meals are usually simple and easy right now, and may not have as many veggies as I would like. And the house is much messier than I would like it to be. And if things get too out of control, I will actually pause on school for a day or two so that we can get the house in order. I spend quite a bit of time on the weekend preparing for the week ahead, which makes it doable, but is not ideal as I don't get as much rest time. It is a struggle, and I certainly don't want to look like I do it all. It's especially difficult with little ones - best of luck on weaning the toddler!! 🤗

Thank you! I am glad my videos have been helpful!

Thank you! He actually just started reading dragon masters (his sister had a bunch) and he has been enjoying them. I will definitely look into Beast Quest.

My oldest son preferred nonfiction to fiction at that age. I got him a lot of science books from the library.

That's so good to hear!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! We really like it so far, as well!

Thank you! I intend to do those flip-throughs. Glad to know there is interest. 🙂

Thanks for sharing. I’ve never heard of Exploring the World Through Story, could you explain how it works when you say by recitations? I wasn’t sure what you meant. Would love a detailed flip through please and a review after you have used it for a while.

Oh, I meant 'citations' - when you use a quote or refer to something specific in the text as evidence. Then you make a note as to where the reader can find the quote or evidence that you are using. Sorry that was not clear!

@@juliaathome ah thank you, sure it was me though not listening properly :)

Oooo, I'm going to check that out. Thank you for the suggestion!

Awesome! Thank you!

I will definitely share, but it may take a few weeks since I have a backlog of videos. To get started some of my favorite resources have been 'Who Was Queen Victoria,' 'You Wouldn't Want to Be a Victorian Servant,' and a tv show I found on youtube called 24 hours in the past - victorian britain. We also watched the musical movie of Oliver, but heads up that it is violent and the end is kind of scary.

That sounds like a very helpful resource!

Thank you so much for your kind comment.❤️

Welcome!!

I am so glad you are feeling inspired! I hope you have fun!

I enjoy it! Have fun with chemistry!

Thank you! You as well!

Thank you so much!

That's a great idea!

Well, the housework does not always get done! 😂. I do relearn many of the subjects as I am planning them and with the kids. It is one of the reasons I homeschool - I love learning! Curriculums really walk you through what you need to know. If you think about it, teachers in elementary school and even into middle school often teach many subjects. They are not experts in those subjects; they have training on how to teach and manage a classroom. It is a lot of work, but I love it!

Glad it was helpful! I wasn't sure what to call them! I think I started with my oldest when she was in 3rd grade, and then started implementing it right away with my second as well (who was in 1st grade), because it worked so well!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your kind comment! I hope you are having a wonderful year as well.

I choose 10, no specific curriculum. I look back over the work that she has done, to see what words have given her trouble, and I also give words that are relevant to what we are learning (such as names of countries) and works that are just tricky in general.

You are very welcome!

You are so welcome!

Thank you!

That is a great question. I have, but very rarely. It is just to give them practice with test taking. I didn't show them here, but the digital file also comes with tests for the end of each chapter, along with an answer key, so you can use those. I am actually thinking of using them more this coming school year.

The beauty is that you can choose a musician you enjoy!

It is from epidemic sound. I usually include the music info in the description box, but it seems I didn't this time - sorry! If I figure out what it is I will try to reply here again.

Sorry for my delay in response. It is not a real business. They are given fake orders each month as well as an amount of money that they made in "additional sales." I hope that helps!

That sounds great!
