@@wvfarmersdaughter thank you! I’m so glad you found this video helpful!

@@user-ss1jf1df4u oh, that’s wonderful to hear! I’m so excited to get started with it! ☺️

@@jennifersnarr5353 that is so exciting to hear! Yes, the Before Five in a Row sounded so great, too! Thanks for taking the time to comment! I’m really excited to see what we think about FIAR this year! ☺️

@@Berserk_Alize3 Hi! Yes, you can absolutely jump in with the book for whatever age/level your child is at! I have just loved starting at the book for age 3, but I wouldn’t say you need to have done that book first. If you have a 4 year old, I would recommend starting with the book for age 4! They are so great. I think you’ll enjoy them, whatever level you decide to jump in at!

@@hannahbeeolson wonderful! Thank you🙂

Hi! Thanks for watching and for the comment! I think that is a great idea! I was considering doing some flip-through videos in the future but didn't know which ones people would specifically be interested in! I'm thinking CLE, Five in a Row, and All About Reading - now I just need to make the time to film them! Thanks for suggesting flip-throughs!

Hi! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! I'm so glad it worked out well for you to begin schooling early, too! As mamas, we know our children best and we know when they are ready to begin dipping their toes in the water of school time! :)

Thank you so much! And that is a good idea!! I would love to share what Svea does in the future! :)

Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! How fun that you're a former teacher, too! And that is wonderful to hear that you've used AAR and you liked it - that makes me really excited to dive in. Thanks for watching! :)

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you liked them!

@@amandamendoza4181 that is so wonderful to hear!! Thanks for taking the time to comment! It’s reassuring to hear you’ve loved CLE!

@@Grace_Filled_Homeschool thank you for sharing that!! I’m excited to get started on the 1st grade level!

Hi! Thanks so much for watching - and for taking the time to comment! :)

That is such a good question! The Critical Thinking Co. designs their math workbooks to be used either way: as a stand alone curriculum or as a supplement to another curriculum you’re doing. (Here is their list of what they’ve recommend for each grade level if you only used their company: www.criticalthinking.com/full-curriculum) For my son (age 4.5, just finished 2nd year of preschool), I’ve used his Mathematical Reasoning workbooks as his math curriculum for all of his homeschool experience. For my daughter (age 6.5, just finished kindergarten), I used it as a supplement alongside The Good & The Beautiful’s Level K Math, but it then became more of a stand alone curriculum for her towards the end of the year here, because she finished TGTB Math a while ago and I’ve been thinking I’ll pivot away from TGTB Math for her next year so I didn’t want to buy the next TGTB Math level for her. I hope that helps some! The Mathematical Reasoning workbooks are my favorites, I think. They are just so sound and I love how they progress through (and review) important math skills. And, my kids love those workbooks! They’re well done!

@@hannahbeeolson that’s very helpful! I will check the link out. We just finished kindergarten also. We used Math with Confidence and I loved it but I got the The Critical Thinking Co math for the summer. So far it looks like he will enjoy it more (he’s very math savvy and didn’t love all of the games in MWC). What do you plan to do next school year for your daughter? I got the lower grade math one for my 4yo and plan to use that with her also. I really enjoy your videos! I believe our kids are the same age 🙂 6.5yo and 4.5yo ( I don’t have a baby though).

​@@JessicaJosie It's so fun to hear that we have kids who are the same ages! :) I haven't fully solidified what I'll be doing with my daughter (my 6.5 year old) just yet, but I've been heavily researching options for the past couple of weeks! I'm planning to start ordering curriculum soon and then I'll begin sharing videos highlighting our curriculum choices! It's exciting but it definitely can be overwhelming as a mama, right?! We all want to make the best choices (including academic choices) for our children that we can!! I want to go in a different direction from The Good & The Beautiful for math, as well as probably for reading/language arts...I do plan to keep incorporating The Critical Thinking Co. though!

@@hannahbeeolsondoing this home school stuff how are you setting your child up for college? They can't home school college Will they be able to get a college degree and get a high paying job its very competitive out there now for ppl with college degrees

Aww! I am so happy to hear that!! My son is now 4 and a half, so it's been a while since his first birthday party, but I'm so glad that that video helped you! Happy birthday to your little guy!

Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so glad to hear it was a helpful video!! Yes, I highly recommend quiet time - even starting at 20 minutes and working your way up, depending on the age of your child! It is such a nice breather (for everyone involved!) during the day. 💗

Aww, thank you! I’m so glad you found this video helpful!!

Thank you!! So glad you liked it! 😊

I haven’t done the ebook version personally, but I love that they have that option! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Glad you liked it!! ❤

That’s so fun! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! Yes, those Mathematical Reasoning workbooks are wonderful!! They are what really got me interested in this company!

Hi, fellow Minnesotan!! Isn’t it crazy how winter is ending this year?! We were supposed to do a farm activity this morning and that got cancelled. Brr! Can’t wait for warmer weather again - though this winter has been nicer for sure! Thank you for watching! ☺️

Thank you! I’ve found that kids really enjoy those birds! The key is to find one with a birdsong that won’t bother you as the parent! 😁👍🏻 But they’re mostly all nice sounds!

So fun! Yes, we really have enjoyed those birds around here! I only wish they had my favorite bird - a mourning dove!!

Haha, thank you! :) I love how capable kids are of great imaginative, independent play!

Aww, thank you so much!! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy my content! Hope you found some fun new books for your family's collection! :)

Hi! Welcome! And thanks for taking the time to comment! :) That sounds like a great plan - getting that schooling done when there's the least amount of distractions! Wishing you the best in your homeschooling journey!

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment! It’s fun to hear your family enjoys morning basket time, too! I love how it can include many different subjects - plus it’s a nice time of ‘togetherness’ ☺️

Aww, thank you, Megan!! Haha - I know how dangerous it can be to hear book recommendations from others! I hope you find some valuable, great new books to add to your family's collection!

Thank you! I'm so glad they were helpful to you! Cheering you on as you conquer solo bedtime with your littles!!

Yes!! We have been really into Arnold Lobel books this year! We especially have loved his "Fables" book, and "Owl At Home" and "Mouse Tales!"

It's ZIHNIC brand from Amazon. They're actually Bluetooth headphones but we just leave that switch shut off, and we use the cords that come with them. amzn.to/48qJFer

That's wonderful to hear!! I hope they love it! Yes, those sticker by letter books are amazing. I love how they're less complicated than some of the sticker by number books, too! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

Thank you for taking the time to comment! I'm so glad these ideas were helpful to you!!

🙂 I only got this idea because my son and daughter were actually begging to help me sweep and mop! I know Melissa & Doug (a popular toy brand) sells a cleaning kit for kids with a broom and mop, but I've really loved this little set instead. The standing dust pan makes it easier for kids to help. I'm all about having the kids see Mama do daily chores and they are often either welcome to pitch in or asked to do various age-appropriate jobs. It's wonderful what kids can learn even from a young age, that'll make them a productive member of a family (or society) later on!

Hi Bobbie! You can always skip ahead to the 'meat' of the video if you don’t want the helpful tips at the beginning!

@@hannahbeeolson with me I like watching from beginning to end but usually they'll talk about 1 minute and then get into the recipe. I know the information is valuable but the recipe is a lot more important cause you kept saying I can't wait to get started I can't wait to get started that's why I said start the recipe!

Too much talking I agree

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to comment! I'm glad this video was helpful for you! Yes, from my understanding, Yoto uses mp3 files. You can use a "Make Your Own Card" quite easily with Yoto. Here is a link for a guide Yoto has made! tinyurl.com/mr36ct7f Good luck!!

Thank you!! I'm' so glad you enjoyed the video!! 😀

Hi! Thank you so much!! And thanks for taking the time to comment! I'm glad you liked the video - and how fun that you also are a former elementary teacher!! 😀
