    Here are some random history and prehistory facts: The mayans raised a rare species of bee that didn’t sting called maya bee. Cleopatra(an ancient Egyptian pharaoh) is closer to us than she is to the construction of the pyramids of Giza. Stonehenge is considered prehistoric because writing didn’t arrive at England at the time, even though it was built only 2000 years ago, this is because prehistory is any event or time before writing records of it. The dinosaurs have existed on this earth for 80 times longer than we have. The time from 252 to 66 million years ago is called the Mesozoic era, also called the age of the dinosaurs. The Cenozoic era is all the time from 66 million years ago to modern day, it’s considered the age of mammals. The oldest mammal was probably megazostrodon which lived in the late Triassic period about 200 million years ago. It took 20,000-30,000 workers and 20 years to build the great pyramid of Giza. You might’ve noticed that the pyramids looked like staircases-why? Well, its because it wasn’t originally like that, it originally had a layer of limestone layered over it making it white in the red sky but the limestone has since eroded.

    Hello, im new to HS but i had started the application process during term 2 holidays, not realising how long it could take and so my yr 1 & yr 5 boys started 3 weeks into term 3. This has been a bit stressful as we couldn't take full holiday breaks at the same time as school otherwise they would've fallen further behind than 3 weeks. Im trying to stick as closely to it as possible so they can have a nice long break at Xmas before starting next yr. My question is, do you have any videos with tips on work samples/reporting? I think I am unnecessarily stressing about this as I'm with Euka & they do help out a little, i just feel like I need to hear it from another HS parent. Thank you so much for taking the time to help other's.

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake Місяць тому

      Hi there 😊collecting work samples with Euka is fairly easy. Your children will be completing some worksheet type tasks and will even sometimes create projects that is not on the online platform. You can use these as samples of your children's work to show your moderator when they come. Just collect some work sample from the beginning, middle and end of the school year and that should show progress over the year. i do have some video's on how to show progress and do reporting for your moderator that I can link for you. You are probably over thinking it, it is a fairly easy process once you wrap your head around what to do. Hope you find these videos helpful 💜 ua-cam.com/video/EJk1q_0gTKs/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/WUFxx3-w17s/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/usLvcrAB-7M/v-deo.html

    My child is 5yr 10 months and struggles with handwriting (getting very tired after writing a few words). I like the idea of using a record of learning/notebooking after learning about a topic (we are covering space too at the moment). How would you typically scaffold learning (in addition to orally) with writing? Would you write for him and encourage drawing instead, or perhaps start with one word and a drawing and then build from there to simple sentences? Just fleshing this idea out! Thanks!

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 місяці тому

      Writing is a tricky one and most children will struggle with writing at that age and physically it will hurt their little hands. You can do things to strengthen their fingers and pencil grip, buy thicker pencils which are easier to write with. But you have answered your own question 😊 I would do exactly what you said. They tell you what they would like you to write and they draw a picture. Then move on to you write still and they can trace over your writing. Then on to writing a few words and adding more as they gain strength and confidence

    Hi Marieka! Thank you for your wonderful videos-they’ve been a great source of inspiration for us. I wanted to share our experience to hopefully help other families navigating curriculum options. Like you, we enrolled our child in Euka earlier this year. At first, as new homeschooling parents, we found it useful to pay extra for the report creator to assist with our registration application to the State’s Home Education Unit. However, we’ve been quite disappointed with the curriculum itself. Since Euka only offers refunds within a 7-day cooling-off period, we’re now locked into a 12-month registration. In hindsight, I think that’s too short a window for families to assess if the program is right for them. Now, we’re stuck paying over $600 for a curriculum we no longer use. Additionally, in a recent UA-cam episode, the founder and CEO shared some extreme and polarizing views on certain topics, which was concerning for us and solidified our decision to move away from the program. How are you and your son finding it? Do you think you’ll continue with Euka?

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 місяці тому

      My son has enjoyed using an online program, he is not too fussed over what the curriculum is like he just wants to get his work done🙃 He wont be using it next year as he is moving on to other things. My daughter enters high school next year but she does not want to use an online program and I do not think she will like it any way. It is a shame the pricing of the curriculum, I feel it is much too high. We were able to get a discount this year so that is why we went with it. I feel like they should offer a free trial too so people can see what it is like before they have to pay for it

      You are welcome, so glad you are enjoying them😊 As a boy mum myself I have had lots of experience with wiggly boys! My advice is to go slow, you do not have to do all the things at once. Pick a literacy and math program and then add in fun stuff for all the other subjects. Just do short sharp lessons, just work for 20 minutes on something and then take a short break or switch to something else. At that age you only need to do 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours of school a day. Good luck!

    Thanks for this video :) I'm using SOTW vol.1 for my first grader and was planning on using it until the end of the year. However, I would like to add some Australian history too and am wondering how to fit it in. Did you do Australian history after finishing SOTW?

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 3 місяці тому

      I have done Australian History along side using SOTW. I usually just do one term of Aus history each year

    Hello! We are a CM in Australia. I have a hard time finding living books relevant to Australia. Any recommendations?? My son is grade 1! We were doing Ambleside online but he just isn’t engaged with a lot of their books

    Really enjoying your content! I’m going back and forth between G&B language arts and gather round for next year. How would you use both and do you still use gather round or have you replaced it with G&B?

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 4 місяці тому

      You can totally do the two together in fact I would recommend it! I would use a unit study from GR and complete the lessons and then add in math and language arts from G&B. It would be easy enough to add in one days lessons on to the end of the GR notebooks each day
