    I’m starting my third year homeschooling twin 4th graders. We’ve used sonlight curriculum the last 2 years and we’re looking for something different. Trying to learn more about masterbooks to see if it would be a good fit for us. I wish there were a way to talk with other parents that have used this curriculum and see what they think about it.

    I would love a video on your insights on CRT. I raised my children at the kitchen table and with 8 children it was more of a small schoolhouse environment. 😊 Still, my answer to some of their inquiries was often "Think it through" in the hopes of developing their critical thinking skills. My older set of children are engineers and data analytics folks now, but teaching them to think "out of the box" is one of the many beauties of homeschooling. Also, I love that you are traveling with your children and exploring other cultures with them. We did this with our children over the years and it was extremely insightful. In fact, for a few years we hosted 4 Chinese students for the summers to introduce our children to the Asian culture. Then they were able to visit China on a mission trip and visited with two of the exchange students that had stayed in our home. Thank you for your service to the homeschool community. Homeschooling is close to my heart. It has been a joy watching your videos. Blessings🌺

      I personally think that CRT is good and think we should be teaching it. I spent time with a sociology professor to learn more about it and what "some" people are presenting it as, and the fact that it is being taught even at elementary level is wrong.....but I think that we should teach it. There are differences in how people are treated based on the color of their skin. It is historical and it is present. We need to learn, to know and to act. I think that it is great you have introduced cultures with your children. I have been to China twice and look forward to taking my girls. Thank you so much for your comments and encouragement. blessings to you!

    I love your reviews. So balanced. We did Mia for a year and half (1/2 of 2nd grade, all of 3rd), it really saved me from crisis mode of "WHAT AM I DOING?! AM I DOING A HORRIBLE JOB!?" and brought back my LOVE of the opportunity of home education. It was great to be able to pull up from grades below things that we missed or needed more reinforcement or pull down from the grade above for subjects she was excelling in. I will note that If you don't do the accompanying printables to reinforce each lesson it can be VERY LIGHT material, with the focus being highly on incredibly repetitive quizzes (for 2nd it felt appropriate, by 3rd it felt far too light). We are switching to Moving Beyond the Page for 4th and after seeing your review on that I'm SO excited to do so, but it feels great to have Mia in my back pocket if we need it to rescue us again!

But our Kindergarten is a 7hour day, so the year before we are sending our oldest to a two day a week pre-k program so Kindergarten wont be such a shock to her system. And at this age she seems to crave lots of interaction with kids her age…. And I could use a little break. 🤞it all works well for us.

    I used some of the BookShark Language Arts with one of my kids. Due to dyslexia he was taking a while to get to that fluent reading stage. He had the foundational knowledge but needed more practice reading and less drill. He knew the rules. The Book Shark Language Arts program turned out to be the perfect bridge he needed to build that fluency and confidence. I still have the program in case my youngest needs it for the same reason. If she doesn’t, the books are still fantastic to just read on her own.

      Hi there. I think that any curriculum that can read the information to your child or have videos (so online) can be good. Time4Learning is one of those. I also like Teaching Textbooks for math. The videos can be watched again to help understand. It is also worthwhile to do the placement tests, and also to go as slow as they need so they aren't frustrated. Do they like doing things with their hands? Do they prefer to listen to audiobooks? Using tools that utilize this can be helpful.

    I came across montessori philosophy a month ago and I am fascinated by it! Thank you so much for making a pros and cons video! I have a question related to montessori school. In my area, I only find 2-3 montesorri schools that accept children under 2, and there are almost 3x as much that accept older kids, for example 2.5 - 4 yo and on. Would you recommend that I send my daughter to non-montessori pre-school until she reaches 3 years old? Or is it crucial to get her exposed as early as possible? My original plan wast to send her to one at 18 months of age. In other words, what age group is crucial fora child to attend a montessori school to get the maximum benefits and a strong foundation? Thank you!

    • @LearningLifeMB
      @LearningLifeMB 8 днів тому

      I honestly don't think you need to get your child into a Montessori school environment early. There are things you can do at home if you like the whole philosophy and use it at home. I have seen children enter a Montessori school at 4 and do extremely well. They had had no previous foundation with it at home. If you feel comfortable waiting until she is 3 then that is great. If you wanted to hold off longer I don't see any harm in that either.

      HI there. To me, I define Montessori has an educational approach. It emphasizes and encourages independence, freedom (within limits) and respect for where the child is in their development. Each child has a unique journey and we can nurture that with using Montessori methods. In the classroom the children can take the lead in their and can grow at their own pace.

    I 100% agree with curriculum not being the first step. I have so many people ask me for homeschool advice and they want me to just tell them what curriculum to use. I can't do that! I start asking them questions, like - what are your goals? What do you want your days to look like? Do you need your kids to be pretty independent, or do you want to be more involved in their daily learning? You'd be surprised how many people tell me - they just want to know what curriculum to use or never answer any questions. I really feel like people could save SO MUCH hassle by answering some other questions and looking at their bigger picture and understanding their why BEFORE choosing a curriculum. Curriculum is a TOOL, not a rule book.

      Unschooling comes down to personalities - yours and your children. They are going to learn in different ways. Reading at 7 or 8 on their own is great. If your children aren't progressing in their reading or you don't feel like they are learning, then it is always good to reevaluate. Are any of us really doing it right? That is a good question. You just keep trying and moving forward.
