I just found your channel and have been sort of kinda binging on it! Holy smokes! you said she is "ALMOST 3"! And she has curriculum, actually sits still enough to do some work and listen and sounds out spells and knows the days of the week and months! WHOA!!! My 2 going on 3 yr old will barely stay still for me and just now took a liking to the alphabet song, while I homeschool my 7 year old.
haha I'm so happy you like my channel that much! You rock!! yeah she is just over 3 now. This was back when she first started her curriculum. We had taken the whole year before to work on her attention span and do some "tot schooling" basics. But she still struggles to sit still for very long. 3 year olds are known to just want to go go go lol
Nice to see another nesian sister on a homechool channel. Just about to start our pre k with my soon to be 5 year old girl next month😍. Please share your homeschool journey🙏🏼.
My youngest loved watching your lesson with me! He followed right along with the lesson and was answering your questions as Samara was, lol! He loved his "dog book!" ( What he called His prek book!)
She’s so cute and love her energy! You’re doing great! I’m loving the Level K Primer with my daughter. Just like you said, the curriculum is so easy to follow and keeps my daughter engaged throughout the lessons. I found out about the Good and The Beautiful curriculum through you ;) so thank you again! ❤️
Brittany Lynn It is!!...I really love it! the best part is to see my daughter looking forward to her lesson each day and at the end she likes to screen through the next lesson to get an idea of what’s next 😊😍.
Thank you! I really don't do anything specific. When I see that she's holding it wrong, I help her adjust it. Eventually, all I have to do is ask her to hold it properly, and she will fix it on her own.
I totally know what you mean! It’s a lot to do both. Someday I can get Samaras lessons done while Leilah does handwriting practice and independent reading. Other times I’ll have my husband help out by playing with the one child while I work with the other. Since he’s working from home, he can help out on breaks.
Absolutely loving your very helpful videos! How many hours of homeschool do you dedicate to each child per day? And is there a reason why you seem to school them separately? Xx
I love this video because it was sooo helpful! I have been working from home due to the pandemic so these are things I can do with my 3yese old. Typically how long do you spend on school work each day?
Wow how do u get her to listen to you while you are teaching....that's the most difficult part for me...I could see her grow from what she was in the previous vlogs...kudos to you..👏
Thanks so much! It’s definitely difficult. As you can see she’s a little bit all over the place. But I try to have as much patience as possible while also letting her know she has to listen and sit with me.
Thanks again Brittany for sharing this class with us! :) your little ones are soo cute! and sooo smart. Also, thank you for recommending the curriculum "The Good and the Beautiful", I finally ordered it and I'm using this for my eldest, (we're a bit behind) but she seems to be really enjoying it! specially the exercises for how to use scissors I thought it was great! I can't believe how they're not taking the time to exercise this in public kindergarten (???) Not sure why. Anyway, my daughter has been practicing! :) Great work! and be proud of what you do, your daughters seem to love their classes. Big hugs! x
Love your videos. I just recently found your channel and I have been so inspired to work with my now 3 year old. Like you said in one of your comments I’m working on his attention span through tot schooling. I plan to start the good and the beautiful when he turns 4. My main worry is him holding his pencil/dry erase marker. How did you get the girls to master this? Did you do any specific activities with them?
Hi! I bought this curriculum because of you! ☺️can I ask, do you do math or science or this on it’s own? Would love to know how to piece it all together! Thank you x
I’m doing pre-K TGTB with my daughter and she keeps saying no! I’m also doing k with my son which takes longer so it’s a challenge to keep them both positive because they feed off of each other.
I totally know how you feel. My daughters get like that too. I am blessed that my husband is working from home and able to help occasionally. I try to have one child do this independently in a separate area if I really need to focus with the other too.
Hi, I just found your channel, & it’s so helpful. I have almost 3 yr old and 1 yr old girl ☺️ Do you mind telling me what size white board and bulletin boards do you have up there ? I am just starting to homeschool them ! & I love your girls names
Hi,I love your videos. I have a quick question about TG&TB curriculum. I am not a Christian or religious at all so I'll be doing secular homeschooling. But I really like TG&TB. My question is how Christian/religious is it? Are we talking whole chapters about Bible or ocasional mention as an example? Also is Math section Christian too?
There are not entire sections related to the Bible or God. There are certain mentions of God, creation, and it uses examples to teach morals. There are certain phrases in math that relate patterns in nature back to God's creation. I hope this helps!
I couldn’t help but notice your WINDY CITY t-shirt - are you from CHICAGO?? I’m so lost on having my 4 year old listen to me while I’m trying to teach her. She also has a really short attention span, so I usually spend no more than like 30 mins with her before she’s over it lol
I’m actually from Michigan! But I love visiting Chicago! I know what you mean. My girls have super short attention spans too. Especially Samara. We’ve been working a lot on her patience. But I give them a lot of breaks to keep it from feeling like work.
Brittany Lynn Oh! I got excited and thought maybe I’d have some home town help lol Whatever you’re doing is amazing!! I just came across your video and I subscribed right away. I’m going to show my little one and maybe motivate her to keep learning. Thank you!!
I do some things together with them, and other things I like to do separately if I can. My husband works from home and is able to help out occasionally by playing with whichever child I'm not working with. If he is working though, I try to have one child work on an activity they can do independently while I focus with the other.
My 2 (almost 3) year old son is doing pre k language and k math but it is a FIGHT to get him to sit still. He can do everything but write letters/numbers but it takes ALL DAY. 2 minutes of work, 20 min of play. I wish he’d sit for a whole lesson 😂
I have a little one almost the same age your daughter whom I have been thinking of trying the pre-K program on...but my child does not yet know the letter sounds. How did you teach the letter sounds to your daughter?
Thanks so much for responding! I have been nervous to start the program because of the lack of previous letter sound knowledge. Is it a new letter each day or do you go into further study before moving on?
There is no requirement for knowing letter sounds before starting the prek course! It isn't a new letter each day. It is more gradual. Usually a couple of lessons will include the same letter, practicing uppercase and lowercase.
Sometimes finding a different way to get them started to have interest in writing is good. Like if they like painting than have them practice with that. Or dry erase markers on their own little board. My boys were like that. Or just started with simple shapes circles and lines first to.boost their confidence first than they were willing to try harder things. Even sand or rice On a 0late or tray write with fingers in that or shape letters with playdoh
Just re-watching to get a refresher to make sure Im doing it alright
I really like how you have this room setup for preschool . You do a wonderful job homeschooling your girls.
Thank you!
Oh how I miss preschool! Such a precious, precious time! 🤗❤
It is so fun!! But it goes by so fast!

That’s awesome! I’m so happy it’s working so well for you!

I’m so excited! I ordered the Pre-K course for my 3yo! It should be here tomorrow and we’re both so excited to get started!
That is awesome! I'm excited for you too!
She's so smart!!! 😍 I love how simple but what great quality TGTB is! ❤ You're doing such a great job with her! 😁❤
Thank you so much! You are so encouraging! TGTB has done such a great job with this course!
I love how proud she was of her painting, and wanting to display it right away! 👍

Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for bringing it here my son has the same problem. He is not yet three but the same like your daughter. Anyway they are doing well so far.
Love your videos! She holds a pencil so well! Can you share tips on how to teach a toddler to hold a pencil properly?
Thank you! I really don't do anything specific. When I see that she's holding it wrong, I help her adjust it. Eventually, all I have to do is ask her to hold it properly, and she will fix it on her own.
My favorite channel,so informative and resourceful....

Hi Brittany, thank you so much for this video. Do you have separate time slots for your girls. If so how do you manage it?
I do some things together with them, and other things I like to do separately if I can.

If he is working though, I try to have one child work on an activity they can do independently while I focus with the other.

Do you still use the binder with her?

my boy is almost 4...exactly the same way
I think it really is tough for some kids to sit for a long time. It's in their nature to want to run around.
Oh god such cutie she is my son is the same falling here and there hv to tell him to focus like 20 times in a min 😂😂can u go and play 😜
haha its such a silly age!
✨ Rocks ✨
lol she really thought that girl was feeding the horse rocks

Check the link for it in my description box, you can see the sample pages of the course!
How do I register my child in Utah? I dont think I have to do testing either & I don't think I have to show my child's work?

Hi

Yes! I definitely plan to make a video all about my 1st grader's work.

how can u teach a child if he/she doesn't want to follow instructions? mu kid doesn't have interest on holding pen or crayon?
