We are currently using math u see. It has similar blocks but has a structured curriculum. It doesn’t have “cute little pictures” it’s straight forward but it has been amazing 🎉

Love all your updates. I would love to hear about your spirituality unit! We are not religious but definitely spiritual and I would love to invite something like that with my kids.❤

I bought the All About Me lapbook after seeing it in your previous video and my 2nd grader loved it. She didn't add the giant head to it because we both thought that was weird, but it was the first thing she wanted to do each day. If you are looking for an easy to follow language arts curriculum, I recommend CLE. Yes, it's a Mennonite curriculum so there is the occasional reference to God or going to church, but I'm not Christian and I think it works very well.

I would say the beauty of play curriculum is wonderful starting at 7 years old since thats when formal lessons start in a traditional Waldorf school. Maybe hang onto it for later. Even if by then he passes that level of learning its really good to go back over all that. Thank you for your video! I absolutely love the idea of a snack shack 😊

Something that has worked great with my child (who has dyslexia) is to do some of the writing for him. Like you, I pull from various sources and it seems like there’s writing components in ALL of them haha. Don’t be afraid to use their words and write down their thoughts when they’ve physically done a ton of writing for the day. 😊

Been thinking of doing Treehouse School House. Do they send you the actual book? I don’t have a way to print right now. Thanks

We love Math with Confidence for my twin Kindergarteners

Math w Confidence K might be a good fit for your boy. There are a ton of UA-cam reviews/flip throughs. The only all in one LA program I know of for 2nd or 3rd grade is Logic of English.

An all in one language arts does sound interesting, can’t wait to see where you go with that. I’m doing aar1 and it seems very similar to the treasure hunt. Math with confidence K is really hands on, fun, and scripted.

totally interested in your spiritual info!!!

Are the paper junkie books 8.5 x 11 or larger?

This looks like it's going to be so fun! Your daughter might also like Full of Life: Exploring Earth's Biodiversity by Isabel Thomas and Sara Gillingham.

I can't believe you pieced this all together yourself! I struggle to do this - hahaha! Some cool books and fun finds to go with the unit for sure! I love the big DK books like this!

Have you ever seen the dk book anthology of intriguing animals

My 7 year old son enjoyed using Discovery Decks by the Waldock Way along with some of our animals studies! Fun details to learn and research on UA-cam Also the “Who would win” books

This whole video just made me fall in love with your content even more!

10/10 on the amount of time you spend on the floor 🤌🤌🤌

Loved this peek into your homeschool day! Looking forward to more of your videos🙂

Thank you 😊

Can you link the magnetic powder and magnets?

My Grandson loved the Beautiful Feet geography, but he's a little older. Around the world is a better unit for younger children

If you are allergic to mold- do the owl pellet outside!

LOVED this peak into your daily Homeschool routine! 🥰 also loved the voice you put on with the zebra puppet! I do the same thing when I use our puppet Alberto for our Homeschool Languages Spanish lessons! You can tell your son thoroughly enjoys it 🥰

I’d highly suggest using only one formal phonics/reading program. Especially if your child is starting to show signs that she may be struggling. I have a 10 year old son that has never been formally schooled with the exception of pre-school and one year of a public Waldorf school. I took him out and de-schooled our family (three kiddos) a few years ago. I was super concerned that he’d never learn to read/write. I did a “reading test” earlier this year with him and he is far beyond 5th grade level. Trust the process. What I didn’t want was for him to give up and hate learning. When I pulled him out he never wanted to do any formal schooling. I just allowed him to learn through play. He also enjoys playing ROBLOX. I was shocked to hear him read at the level he was. This is the first year that we joined a public charter here in SoCal. He approached me and asked if he could start to “learn” more. A good friend (that started this charter), unschooled her children all throughout their school years. They are both in college and getting ready to transfer to cal-states. It’s pretty amazing what kids learn when they want to ❤ sorry for the novel 😂

My kiddos attended a Waldorf in person school for a couple years here in California. The notebooks that they used were near identical to the planners you bought. They absolutely loved them and we still look at them to this day. They’re homeschooling now but we plan on using the notebooking method this year. I really liked the ones the school used vs the spiral bound ones. It was more like a book for them to refer to, like for history…it became more of a story. Just for future reference ❤

"Glitter!!!" LOL! Was that Growing with Grammar 1 or 2??

Your daughter reminds me of my son.. they are so active and funny. Also, we are doing the same science curriculum and are a week behind you guys so we have that project next week 😄 And lastly, you are a very patient mama! You’re a sweetheart. Thanks for sharing your day.

This was beyond helpful. Thank you. 2nd grader and prek3 - 1st time homeschooling this upcoming September.

What a sweet day 🧡

Can you link the endangered animal workbook and what you’re using along with it. Looks so fun

That is a crap ton of LA for 2nd grade 😂😂😂

that letter station is SO CUTE! I keep mentally telling myself I will do something like that but it's so hard!

More amazing goodies! I feel like homeschooling 2 probably feels like an entirely new ballgame.

I love seeing all these awesome resources!! :)

Beauty and Truth math is more scripted. I like it, but even that isn't enough structure for me in this season. I need more open and go. I like the high quality crayons and paper that The Beauty of Math, or whatever it was called, but I didn't end up using the curriculum. Thanks for your thoughts. We felt the same about a higher level of Beautiful Feet Geography. It wasn't a good fit for us, so I switched and am still using their map.

I tried the Treasure Hunt Reading with my 1st grader last year and after a few weeks she was so over it. We started in Journey 2. She didn't want to illustrate any of the story panels (but I always got her to do a single one) and she hated hunting for words. I didn't find the videos helpful. I'm interested in hearing your review of Elemental Science since I have a couple of Elemental Science Chunks scheduled for later this year.

Try all about reading 1 with your daughter! That’s were we started and it’s a life changer for us.

I’m the same with the Gentle and Classical Preschool. I don’t like the books they suggest. I’ve changed 2 out of 3 so far and replaced with my own. I don’t think I’ll move forward with them past Preschool. I do like their nature study so far but we’ll see by the end. I am loving Heart of Dakota so far.

I love AAR Pre-reading too. My son is obsessed with Ziggy the Zebra.

We just finished all levels of All About Reading and, if you’re open to advice, start your daughter in AAR level 1 right now. That way she won’t have any gaps as AAR is OG based which is systematic.

We experienced the same thing over the first two weeks this year. I felt like we were schooling ALL DAY and weren’t able to get it done before lunch. Part of that was transitioning back into a school routine, but part of it was we needed to weed out some curriculum and now going into the 4th week I feel really good about our schedule! 🥰 you’ll figure out what works best for you and your kiddos! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on Biology for the Grammar Years because we plan to use it next year!

I feel the same way about BFB US Geography and we haven’t even started it yet. It just seems soooo boring. What I like about THSH nature study, we did some fall and some spring this past year, is that you can cycle through it year after year and add more things as your kids age up. We are starting again with fall in the next few weeks, which I feel like is just such a fun season even though we don’t have fall in Arizona lol.

What’s the resource for the lapbook? It looks great!

We are going to start that science curriculum tomorrow. I agree the first week looks underwhelming. Probably the dullest week in the curriculum! But there are many things my children are excited about having looked through their books and lots of things I’m excited about looking through the teacher manual. I think we’re collectively most excited for the animal and human body units.

Cute kitty!! I keep our days to 2 hours max for my second grader. More will come later but now I’m doing my best to make it enjoyable and short and sweet. Cute ideas for gifts.

I'm a brand partner with PaperPie, formerly Usborne Books and More. In the Drawing Dinosaurs book, the large white space is for you to practice and draw as many dinosaurs as you wish, get creative, add color, and designs. Thanks for sharing some great resources!

Good Info

A lot of cool ideas!

In the Draw Write Now book, is the writing filled in on all the pages or does it eventually let them write and color, and those were just examples?

Oh no, you’re going to be expensive to follow 😂❤ but luckily we have funding in our state too so it helps!
