@BonnieWhite-lk8um Yes! It's so helpful when student pages are right there in the manual.

@Cam3rons_art Usborne sells through individuals and is now re-named Paper Pie. I would reach out to locals/ friends/family if you don't already know someone who sells their stuff. Also, there was a booth set up at the Homeschool Conference I went to, so you could check vendor lists at local events. Or perhaps your local library would have a contact that sells.

@franhp8907 Thank You!! 😂 it was great to laugh and film that!

@Cyriousmama 😂 I will have to keep my eyes out for good re-enactment material!

@seasonsofwonder Thank you so much! 🥰

@seasonsofwonder Glad you enjoyed it 😊

@BonnieWhite-lk8um Thank you! You've set a great example of that and following through on making plans to keep friendships going ❤️ Love you!!!

@franhp8907 awww.... thanks for the encouragement ❤️ I'm blessed to have you in my life, one of my favorite friends! Love you!!!

@franhp8907 Glad you're enjoying them. Time for us to get going on using them! Time is flying by!!

@BonnieWhite-lk8um 🤣 you're probably right!

@reclaimingwonder there's another big one, from the abyss!

@reclaimingwonder have fun! We did a whole ocean unit study, so I'll be videoing some of our favorite books soon 😁 may be some other gems in there for you.

@stravaganza7616 Happy to share! 😊

@lahainke Aww... that's so sad... a blessing that her legacy lives on in her videos ❤️ Thank you for the encouragement!

@patrickt6642 A sign of a great book is when it stays relevant through generations! I'm so glad they had a good impact in your life and love of reading!

@rhondabryant6873 What a great testimony for Rod & Staff!! So glad it gave your son such a great foundation that is clearly serving him to this day. I love all that I'm learning alongside my kids (a bonus blessing of homeschooling for sure)!

@karladouglas861 I agree! 😊

@franhp8907 Thanks! Glad it was helpful. I definitely got on a roll 🤣

@AngelMcMillan16 that's great! I know I'm glad we found them.

@reclaimingwonder I don't... sorry! It's something I've just had (how do these things appear?! Lol). There are some acrylic and woden options online. But you could also use a photo frame.

@@aRealPageTurnerWithEcho haha in totally get that!! But that’s a good idea to use a picture frame! Thanks 😊

@reclaimingwonder Ooh I'll have to check that out! I'm definitely excited to incorporate the new resources I got for this year. Actually, finding living books has been the hardest part (easy for history but not so easy for geography).

@@aRealPageTurnerWithEcho agreed!! Have you read the books by Holling C Holling? There’s wonderful living geography books! There’s Minn of the Mississippi, Seabird, Tree in the Trail, and Paddle to the Sea 🤗

@reclaimingwonder We do have some of those! My dream series would go to various countries, visit some of the landmarks, maybe even go back in time as well to meet a historical figure. The closest I've found are Magic Tree House and Greetings From Somewhere (but both don't go quite as deep as I'd want and tend to have themes of kids lying to adults, which gets old). So far I've had to piece-meal from various random lists (ex: a book on Germans escaping Berlin by hot air balloon). I'm excited for the Beautiful Feet geography books this year but will still be looking for traveling chapter book adventures!

😘 hi back to you! Love the little mini passports! I’ve seen more cartoon-ish versions but absolutely love how those look like the real ones!

@Cyriousmama glad you watched all the way to the end! 😂 I was feeling like an infomercial for my life and had to reset 😘 I love the Passports! And the ones I got this year have weathered yellow pages which makes them look old and the boys thought was cool!

@jesswhite7347 So many options can be a blessing... and a curse! Thankfully there are lots of great options though and it's just seeing what might be the best fit for your family in this season. Chasing toddlers is it's own season for sure!

@homeschoollifemom She does have spine recommendations and will give corresponding page numbers or chapters when they relate to a given topic. But she says they are not required or necessary. I am only using the other books listed and it has been plenty.

@marisadaniela6 We also live in a rural area but the ILL has been amazing! There have only been a couple they couldn't get and there are so many listed in the curriculum that there are more than enough options. When I requested the books I put my 1st choice down and then listed the alternates. Almost always the 1st choice has come in.

@Joy-filledHomemaking Oh I'm so glad! Extra grace for you as you start something new 😊

Aww thanks! Glad this was helpful and not annoying 🤣

@BonnieWhite-lk8um You've piqued my curiosity! Maybe I should interview you on your process! 😁

@@aRealPageTurnerWithEchoPlease do!!

@@aRealPageTurnerWithEcho I did enjoy it and often changed out curriculum that wasn't working for us. Studied all the ways to homeschooling and used a blend of methods

@@BonnieWhite-lk8um I also enjoy blending curriculums and ideology! Wonder where I got that from... 🤔🥰

I enjoyed it this year but we will see what the future holds 😅

@Joy-filledHomemaking one day at a time! Celebrating your success in enjoying this year's planning! 🙌

@Dreblueskies You're welcome! I've been impressed by many aspects of what they offer. 😊

@reclaimingwonder that's great! I'm pretty sure we have matching bookcases 🤣🤩

@@aRealPageTurnerWithEcho it seems like it haha 😂

@Joy-filledHomemaking I'm very impressed with the quality and love the learning style! Hope it's a great fit for your family.

@reclaimingwonder I love having this up! Had to take it down for construction and I kept pointing at the blank wall when we were reading 😂 now we can see the dates I'm pointing at!

@@aRealPageTurnerWithEcho haha that’s awesome!

@KikiP-rb8no That's another great thing about homeschooling! We get to try different styles and if something isn't the best fit for us or our kids it's ok to reassess. I hope this is a great fit for your family, and if it's not, that you give yourself grace to adjust it.

@aRealPageTurnerWithEcho exactly! I'm planning on adjusting and making it work but if not, I have another math curriculum in mind lol 😂

I noticed the same thing when I was looking into it! It helped a lot that there was a booth at the homeschool conference so I could thumb through it. Glad this was helpful.

I have some other games I got for this upcoming school year... hopefully they're more of a hit! Glad this helped you.

Awesome! Glad it was helpful for you 😊 I love that the game is played in teams so it's good for any amount of kiddos and everyone can be involved.

@franhp8907 Great question! I read throughout the day. I bring whatever book we're reading with us wherever we go! Sometimes we're waiting between activities, waiting for my husband to get out of a building store, or randomly we'll set up a blanket under a tree. I'll read during meals, or when I feel like the kids need a break from each other or playing outside. I'll read at the table, snuggled on the couch, in the car, sitting on the edge of the bed before they fall asleep. Sometimes they'll do something with their hands (clay, legos, drawing) but a lot of the time they just sit and listen, laugh, ask questions, etc... Because they are living books they capture their attention. If you need to build attention I would focus on really interesting topics/books, and stop at a cliff hanger! And also read shorter books and in small doses to start. When my boys are distracted or antsy I ask if they're having trouble paying attention (and if they are I let them do something else). My answer kinda sounds like Dr Suess! 😂 We read in the car We read near and far We read before bed We read when we're fed... Hope you find a good rhythm! Happy reading!

@franhp8907 We've been using it as an add-on and because each state has its own chapters it's great for that. We've also jumped around, like reading Alaska when our friends from there were visiting!

We haven't... with our house under construction and now our oven dying; cooking is taking a backseat. But I kept it so hopefully when things settle down we'll get to!
