    We are heavily leaning toward homeschooling this year because of the state of the world right now. It’s something I have looked into in the past as well but wasn’t really pushed to it. My kids will be 1st grade and 4th grade. It’s overwhelming to start from scratch.

    We enjoy BJU distance learning too. 2020-2021 will be our second year using BJU! We will have students in 5th, 6th, and 10th. We definitely enjoy History, English, and Science the most for all our students. I’m going to try the free lessons from Teacher Text Books. Let see how it will work for us. Thank you Becky!

    Our oldest is going into 5th grade this fall. We've used only A.C.E. curriculum. But I've always been terrible in Math! I feel like she's going to need something different for Math this year. ACE is a good curriculum, but it can be very repetitive and doesn't really keep her interest. I want to start her and our other 2 on Teaching Textbooks. It looks like they'd really like it, and would absorb more of what they're learning. What level would you suggest starting her in as far as TT and BJU? Shes very smart and on her grade level in Math, and probably 6th or 7th grade level in reading. Same for our other 2. Our middle child is on 4th grade level. Our youngest is 6, and seems to struggle with reading, but is comprehending Math quite well.

    • @aplacetonest
      @aplacetonest  3 роки тому

      I guess that depends on how much time you have and if you feel comfortable teaching it. I've done DLO and parent-led and I like both. My oldest prefers DLO but my youngest prefers me to teach her so I try to do a mix of parent-led and online classes to please her but also help me to have some "free time" to get other things done.

    We love BJU grammar, reading, and spelling. BUT the Math 3 weeks in we are changing to teaching Textbooks. My daughter did Saxon in her private school last year for grade 2 and moving to BJU math 3 was a huge jump. She was not getting the concepts and it moved too quickly ahead. Math became a fight not fun for her or me. I don’t suggest new homeschoolers get the math. Very overwhelming.

    Also if you have tried their spelling and Handwriting do you think they are self explanatory and teachers guide is not needed.

    • @aplacetonest

    • @aplacetonest
      @aplacetonest  3 роки тому

      I guess that depends on how motivated you are to sell but typically, I start at about half of what I paid. Before listing anything, I'd look to see if anybody else is selling what you have and the condition of what they're selling. If what you have is newer, or in better condition, you might want to price yours a bit above theirs.
