Do you know if there is any way to make Notion cheaper to homeschool families? I have a middle schooler and a high schooler, and $30/month seems awfully high. Thank you.

I have a binding machine and it really helps..I have MUS divided by unit which helps for many reasons.

Your planner is so cute!!! Please update about what you think of the Well Trained Mind classes thanks 😊

Thank you for this video. Were the instructor manuals for MCT worthwhile?

This was extremely helpful 😊

Thanks for the video. My daughter will be in 3rd grade, and I have been on the fence about LL. The sample unit on their website only shows poetry, which I thought looked pretty good, but I wanted to know more about the literature units. My other idea was to find novel studies on Teachers Pay Teachers individually. I was also excited about the integrated writing with LL, but from your description, I think I'll look for something else.

Great video. Do you know of any science or history curriculum set up like think well?

Has anyone tried both MCT and AOPS Language Arts? Which did you like better and why?

Wow ! Thanks. I like adding educational games , puzzles etc . They learn so much easier. Just not always easy to find

Thanks for this video! It was very well-done and answered most of my question. Plus the bonus was getting the discount code for the curriculum. However, I have a few questions: (1) How "about" long did it take you r daughter to complete a lesson? (2) Is it possible to just use the teacher's notes to teacher the lessons? My kids dislike video lessons but I love the option of having a back up teacher for days when I can't teach math.

👋👋👋👋Hello back!! I love how you left in all the interruptions!! LOL. The struggle is real! I must have said "Me too!" like 15 times while watching this! 🤣 I'm going to be using Homeschool Planet next year! I have a video coming out soon on it! I'm really excited to share about it. Thanks for joining today. It was nice to catch up with you!

My son sounds similar to yours! What really helps him is setting reminders/Routines on the Alexa dot. We have it remind us to do our morning responsibilities, school times, and even meals. He even sometimes tries to get those things complete before it even goes off. Really enjoy the feature

lol…wouldn’t be a true homeschool mom chat without multiple interruptions 😂

My 5 year old son was just diagnosed with AuDHD level 2 in Feb. We have been working with therapists and his healthcare team to help with the explosive and aggressive behavior. My favorite thing to have him do is go out to the yard and run tree to tree 10 times. He loves it, gets energy out, and it helps my mental health. During the winter I have him take a scoter up and down the hallway.

I feel the big bang😅😅😅 Thanks for sharing

We have had to limit audiobooks to after school for the same reason. Both of my sons have DX of ADHD, which is definitely a contributing factor. I really relate to this as my children are highly challenging.

I have planned a video on neurodiverse learning tips. I myself am neurodiverse and so are 4 of my children. This definitely sounds familiar to our household ❤❤

I love build your library too! Emily is so great and all of her curriculum is amazing. I do have a friend in Florida who does homeschool evaluations. She’s on UA-cam too ❤

I love build your library too! Emily is so great and all of her curriculum is amazing

Oh my goodness! Moving is huge! Especially to a different state ❤

Yay!! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

Oh my goodness this is awesome!!! Thank you for posting this. This is what I was curious about. This makes a ton of sense

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

I'm with you regarding social media. Other than UA-cam, I don't use any other. Glad you are back -- you were one of the few secular homeschool moms I found/watched before I started homeschooling.

Looks like a great year ahead! Funny coincidence, my oldest is learning French and my middle daughter is learning Japanese. I have no idea why they choose them either. LOL Thanks for sharing!

I'm trying to keep things simpler this year as well! The same thing happens to us with taking too much time off. Looks like you guys have a great year lined up. Thanks for sharing!

My son has been doing Japanese on Duolingo for a few months and is also wanting more for his 8th grade year. I plan to get him Japanese from Zero. It has a book, youtube videos and there is an optional online subscription you can purchase. I have been eyeing them for a few years and they seem to be what most people recommend for homeschool Japanese lessons.

How did you do the template part at 10:36?? where the list is hidden until you click on it? I love this. I wouldn't want you to give us the template just explain how you did it so we can use the pieces that we want.

I had no idea about the online Getty Dubay worksheet resource! Thank you so much for sharing that!

I love that you have your kids cook! It's such an important skill, and it often gets overlooked, imo.

Thanks for explaining the Lit Log so simply! Do you have a video on Thinkwell Math? If not could you make one, please and thank you?

Ive thought about trying her lit logs too, its a great idea.

Well Trained Mind Academy online classes. We are doing French 1A with them this year.

All the cool kids are using BYL 7 this year 😂 For real though, I think there are like at least 4 of us Homeschool UA-camrs!!

Great video as always! Busuu and Ouino are our go toos for French! Neither is really a "class" style with video lessons though. Ouino doesn't really have videos per-se but the audio is really well done. Busuu has some videos of native speakers but what sold us on it is every few lessons there is a writing/speaking kind of review. It gives you a prompt and you either write or speak your response in French or whichever language you're learning. Once complete you submit it and real people who also use the Busuu app/website that are native speakers for that language comment and correct your text or speech. Granted you don't always get super in depth corrections but we've been using it for over a year and have found we get helpful responses much more often than non-helpful responses. It's very similar to Duolingo with daily streaks, leaderboards, etc. if your kiddo likes those aspects but it just has a lot more features that really help promote learning/retention in comparison to Duolingo.

That really sounds like it would flow very well after IEW SSS!!! What a fantastic way to group everyone together

Ohh we just finished iew sss 1A and have 2A ready to roll

Yay we have an incoming 6th grader roo

I’d love to hear how this curriculum worked for you this year. I’m currently debating RSO vs Science Mom for biology for my 5th and 6th grader.

Great lineup! Thanks for sharing! Heather @Townsendhouse recommends a Japanese curriculum. Her son has loved it and are continuing to use I believe

Ha! This is our plan too! We did BYL levels 5/6 combined with Blossom and Root over the last three years as well. We’re looking forward to a change and excited to move on to Level 7 for 8th grade! I really enjoy your channel since we use the same curriculum. 😊

We really enjoyed level 7 from BYL when we completed it too. I hope you have a great year🩵

OH my gosh your in FL. New sub here. I am very excited to learn from you. What area did you move to?

New viewer here! I am really interested in what you use as a working mom for curriculum. I have not found many other homeschool UA-cam moms. Please talk about the independent things you do with your children. I have an upper elementary school child (3-5) and work full time so please send help.

Happy to have you back! Can't wait to hear more about how you are getting your students to be more independent learners.

Congrats on your new house! So glad that you are back. I would love to keep seeing homeschool related topics especially for middle and high school years.

Welcome back! Definitely looking forward to hearing about History Compass and all things middle school.

Welcome back my friend. Happy to see you again 🩵

Lovely seeing your beautiful face :) Thanks for rhe update. We're in similar circumstances this year. I've been too nervous to do an update because I'm not sure what I can commit to. Happy to hear your job and everything is going well.

Glad to see you back as well! I have an upcoming 5th grader and appreciate all the middle school videos (curriculum choices/planning). I would also like to hear more about how you get your kids to work independently.
