Yay! I love that you're Canadian! :) Most of the youtube homeschooling moms that I follow are from the US so it's nice to see what you do for Canadian Social Studies.
I love how she's touching on all of the negative ways the Canadian government has affected native people. Its very easy to see Canada through a "better than thou" lens when in reality we have our issues too.
Could you start referring your children by age or grade levels rather than 'youngest/oldest' etc. It would be super helpful as a way to have a sense of whether the material you are holding is appropriate for older or younger age groups. love your videos!
What I love most about you- your honesty. A lot of other homeschooling channels I have watched just talk about the curriculum and what their days look like/ break down. Yes, most of them say they teach their children at their own pace, but most aren’t honest enough to say that one or more of their children are behind. I’m summer schooling my children to test this out. My youngest daughter has Optic Nerve Hypoplasia and is behind. She just turned 4. Our local schools don’t really help the children with special needs. They lump them all in one classroom. I feel a more one on one with her will be best, because I know she will not learn the same as others. My other daughter will be starting first grade. She goes to public school this year, but I didn’t want to only home school one child. So I’m seeing how well they both do this summer. Thank you for your honesty!
Really curious if you’ll be doing a year end review touching back on these curriculums and how they went :) would love to know as I hunt for our fall choices!
I'm thrilled to find this! Just what I need to watch as I plan for our school year. I'm Canadian as well, so your history resources are extra valuable! First found you because of your decision to quit TGATB. Makes perfect sense what you are doing. You were very clear about your decision and I'm not sure why people are taking so much offense to it! I was thinking about starting that curriculum, but the time commitment scares me more than anything.
Hi. I had to pause half way through, your kids are not behind !!!! You are doing a great job using the best resources you have found to address your kids needs. They are all different, learn at different pace. You are a great mama !!!
I just love your videos, especially this one. I've been having such a hard time finding Canadian content. I do like the fact that they can access some US history through their curricula as they are dual Canadian/US citizens. I loved world history too and my sons do as well (ages 4 and almost 3). Thank you for posting, videos like this are extremely helpful for me. My son will be starting kindergarten this fall.
I just subscribed to your channel and I'm really excited about it! I just ordered TGTB for history and science. We have done about 6 lessons of each over the course of 3 weeks. I am undecided about the curriculum and really appreciated your blog explaining whey you moved away from the program. I am always on the lookout for christian curriculums that are easy and quick and my children will enjoy. I love that you are using Visualizing & verbalizing! It is a great program that does not get the attention it deserves. I worked for LMB until 2012 when I had my middle child and now I homeschool and incorporate VV, Seeing Stars, and occasionally Lips. I love the decoding workbooks and the VV workbooks. It's surprising how many kids don't image while they are reading. My 6 year old is struggling to image so we have been taking more time to stop and build pictures and summarize while we move through reading. Did you attend a workshop to receive training?
I really appreciate your videos. We will be implementing a basket and looping, such a great idea I honestly hadn't even though of. Our reading will be in the evening right after dinner. There is so much I want to teach my kids its overwhelming at times. I also love that you do it in 20 minutes, We can do that!
Love your curriculum picks!!!! I've been looking into master books, they look so beautiful & well done. Your approach to homeschooling is very much my style, I've never heard of the term looping before but LOVE it!!!! Thanks so much for sharing in depth and thank you for sharing your times per subject etc. It sounds like a well planned day for sure. I end up trying to do too much then we get stressed out😉 So working on staying consistent & a little goes a long way. The idea of reading through one book this week then another in your morning basket is a fab idea!!!!! I can't wait to incorporate these ideas into our schooling this year. Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found you:). I'm newer to you tube and just starting my channel, it's a little intimidating but I absolutely am thankful for you and other mamas sharing tips on homeschooling. Many Blessings to you and your family!!!
I wanted to say, I really appreciate the information you shared. You have given me some great ideas. I am/was getting overwhelmed with homeschool and how to include everything. This next year, I will have 5 in school from K-6th. Whew!
Thanks for sharing your curriculum for homeschooling. I homeschool my girls and I'm always looking for programs or supplemental things to do with them. Look forward to learning from you.
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you! I currently use only Abeka Academy and keep feeling a nudge that this isn't how I envisioned our homeschooling life to be. You have really helped me to start thinking about what we can do for next year(and try out throughout the rest of this school year). I really appreciate you posting this. God bless!
Amy Hinkle I just returned our abeka academy stuff because it wasn’t what I was wanting as our homeschool life either. I’m still trying to piece together what will work for us but I felt a huge relief quitting that curriculum.
Lisa, so happy to hear that!! I bought some Masterbooks things and love it in conjunction with the Abeka. It's too late for me to return the Abeka and I do like it for certain subjects. But doing social studies and science and reading more with my kids has been great! So happy for you
I've been so curious of master books!! I can't decide which direction to go. I did like the videos for arithmetic and language arts and I feel that maybe I should have kept the program just for those. I'm trying to figure out which curriculum will work best for us.
You are using Spelling you See for all and Language Lessons for a Living Education with spelling inside. Just curious, are you doing that for extra practice or do you feel that Language Lessons for a Living Ed doesnt cover spelling well enough? BTW, I LOVE your videos! They are extremely helpful! ;-)
Thank you for your videos! Teaching from a worldview that is BIBLICAL is super important to me - people can say what they want. Its hard to read the negative comments - I agree so much with the positive feed back you are getting. THANK YOU for helping me go with my convictions too.
Such a fantastic video.. I very much enjoy all of yours, I'm going to look into the music course and also I had a question non related to curriculum, but I love your basket... where did you get it it looks so sturdy and inviting! Thank you
That’s the best Canadian SS plan! Going to check out the blog for your SS book basket list. Going back to basket times for my littles, and still do read aloud time for all. We just love that time spent together and being able to chat together about the story. I am looking forward to your Language Lessons 2 & 3 reviews later on . That was one of my finals, but went with Cottage Press LL. So very interested in how it goes for you! Looks like a fantastic year! ❤️
I need that leather insertable in my life!!! Where can I get it?😍😍 by the way… I just watched your video on the reasons why you are no longer using the good anand the beautiful. I plan on using it starting next month but I’m super proud of you for doing what was best for your family regardless of anything else!!!
I just loved this video! thanks for sharing the resource ideas! I love the idea of your afternoon loop basket. could you do a video spanning a week with snippets of how you guys work through it?
LOVE your creative choices! Your creativity has totally inspired me Rebecca! How/where did you get the cute boxes, pretty fonts for the date, etc to make your portfolio so pretty?
We just started doing a morning basket and are really enjoying it! Very interesting to see how you incorporate Canadian geography into your morning basket...we went through one of Donna Ward’s books last year, and it was great! 😊
That's awesome! I'll be doing a full post on which books I use for Canadian socials as well as a free reading plan if anyone wants to follow along. Coming next week :)
Nice video! It is so interesting to see what people use for homeschool curriculum. I'd love to eventually get to the point of doing some type of homeschooling maybe.
Do you school year round? Loved seeing your choices. Thank you for the other video on the Math books from Masterbooks. We are going to use it this year for our 4th and 6th graders.
The Science Shepherd curriculum sounds interesting. After I watched you video I did a little research and just wondering, how did you find the quality of the workbook portion? Would you use it again?
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love the things you are incorporating into the afternoon basket. I didn't know that master books had a language arts curriculum. We have one of their math books we will be using over the summer so will definitely be interested in your review.
Love all these 'new to me' ideas of yours. I am definitely going to try some of them this year. Question-- do you have a set time where your kids read to you in your day? I apologize if I may have missed you mentioning this. Thanks!
I feel like my daughter would love Grammar Galaxy. Is this a stand alone curriculum? Or what else would I need to add in? My friend is also going to show me her copy Language Lessons for a Living Education. Do you feel you would need to supplement with anythng else?
Will you do another video like this for what you’re using this year?? I’m using the good and the beautiful right now and you’ve really helped me to look in my heart and seek God about my choice in curriculum. Looking more into MasterBooks but wondering if their curriculum is enough or if I need Spelling You See and Grammar stuff for my kids. I have a 7 year old and 5 year old who are ready for school. The other is a baby 😀 haha
I know there's a lot on your plate right now with launching curriculum and whatnot but we're almost half way through the school year. With GRH are you still using any of these to supplement? Do you still loop your morning books?
I think you're amazing. I'm just about to pull my son from school. However, I think I just got overwhelmed watching you! How do you come up with all of these? Where do you find these books and how do you decide? Oh my word...
I recently found your blog and youtube channel. Thank you for sharing! In this video, you shared about 10 Min Bible Stories and 44 Animals. I am ordering them, right now! I was looking for a simplified way to do Morning Time and your explanation was just what I needed! Thank you, so much!
Yay!!! LOVES!! Always, always love to see what y'all are up to.. TY so much for sharing.. TY for being here.. such a great encouragement.. Happy Homeschooling.. (=
I was curious as to the visual verbalizing program. Do they have one for parents or are you using one for teachers? and a classroom. I looked at Gander Publishing and it was really expensive but geared towards a classroom. Thanks.
We tried math u see and right start. We hated both! Since we tried Masterbooks last year we have found our math love. We’ve used Singapore and Abeka and they are great too, but Masterbooks is just a better fit for us. Good luck with right start... but even seeing that book on this video makes me cringe haha. It was so MUCH... We are using language lessons for a living education this year and I’m excited about it! We’re doing My story 2 and Americas Story 1 from Masterbooks as well and I am so excited about that! It looks wonderful. For any other Americans reading this, Knowledge Box Central has a handwriting copy work called Famous Quotes from the Heavy Hitters from WW1 and WW2 for $5 and I’m having my fourth grader copy those quotes throughout the year and then doing a book report on one of his choice at the end of the year.
I NEED to have that Visualizing and Verbalizing program. Can you please tell me where you got this? I see it costs around $500... my son is 9 and his struggles sound so much like your child's. That's why I subscribe to your channel!!
we love SUS as well! And I also am waiting for my books to arrive...that's all I need to receive before we can start! foundations phonics looks good. my kids love explode the code so much though that I could never switch. they look forward to that every day and they are in 1st,3rd this year. After books 7,8 this year for my 3rd grader though there are no more with ETC so I'll see about this foundations. It could be that they dont need phonics anymore after 3rd, in which she will be crushed. LOL That Language for living education looks amazing. Does it give too much spelling where you find you dont need Spelling you see? That's why I struggle to find a new LA program when I love SUS already.
Can you recommend a book for what Americans should know about Canada? I always think that we should do something about Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean countries, but I don't know where to start or what would be a good resource.
Wish I would have found this video two weeks ago! I want many things! I will get some eventually but too bad I already ordered my curriculum, so I have to wait! Even though I’m doing grade seven, I want to try the level 6 math and the science and so forth for fun extras.
I love how do you integrate Canadian History in your morning routine. We are in California and I definitely will do the same with American history. Thank you for the great idea. Do you homeschool year around? If so, how do you do it?
It looks great.. i have to admit i am at a bit of a loss what to do. I ordered TGATB because i was hearing so many great things about it. Now hearing your thoughts i'm not sure i want to follow through with it for the next year.
How do you keep record for all your kids to be able to have them graduate and move on to college. I feel stuck to paying online curriculums just to not have to deal with keeping record and losing something please help
I need help desperately!! I have 10 yr old triplet boys and 8 year year old twin girls. All have adhd. One triplet boy has dyslexia and learning disabilities. Starting in sept.
Also, how do you even decide on curriculum? I'm browsing, trying to see what's out there for the future and am completely overwhelmed by the options. Also our province isn't the most homeschool friendly so hoping that will change.
A lot of it has to do with how my child learns best, what grade levels they are working on, and what I need to make sure they know by the end of the year. Yes, there are a lot of options out there, and not all of them work as well as we hope... there really is a little bit of luck that goes with making the final decision after all of the research. Feel free to send me an email and I can help you out more if you need it! rebecca@homeschoolon.com
Homeschool On thank you so much! Will keep you in mind, might email you to get your thoughts on a few things, even though my kids are nowhere near school age; 2 mo and 19 mo. Figure it's never too early to do research! 😉
You've got some time, but email me at any time!! I will say at there age, reading! Just read to them as much as you can, keep books down where they can get to them, and of course, play. Play is super important to learning especially in the early years.
Homeschool On my toddler loves books, although she is a bit rough on them. 😅 I've plasticized the outside of them to try and minimize damage and wear to the spine.
My son is 9 and going into 4 grade, but math is a struggle and f is very behind like 1st or second grade level this is our first yr homeschooling. He has learning disabilities would rightstart be a great math curriculum
Would love to know where you get your resources and books from? Interested homeschooling later on when kids are older, but finding that most homeschool curriculum is u.s. Based. Also, how can you afford all those lovely books?! Books ain't cheap girl! 😂
Books and resources come from various sources honestly and it really depends on the curriculum. And yes, homeschool books aren't cheap at all! I do have a ton of resources on the blog to help you in deciding which curriculum might work best for you, including some quizzes to determine your children's preferred learning styles. Knowing how the learn best can help you figure out if a curriculum is going to work - it's not perfect, but a great way to start! ;)

Yay! I love that you're Canadian! :) Most of the youtube homeschooling moms that I follow are from the US so it's nice to see what you do for Canadian Social Studies.
Me too. I was so curious.
Love that you’re incorporating history of First Nation people! 💕
I love how she's touching on all of the negative ways the Canadian government has affected native people. Its very easy to see Canada through a "better than thou" lens when in reality we have our issues too.

Awww! Happy tears!! Grateful to have seen this! I would be really interested to see a recap on how this year went for you using/ doing what you did.
Hi.
I had to pause half way through, your kids are not behind !!!! You are doing a great job using the best resources you have found to address your kids needs.
They are all different, learn at different pace.
You are a great mama !!!
Please please do an in-depth video on your end-of-the-day homeschool portfolio journal!!! Looks amazing!!!
Also where did you get it?
YES YES what she said!!
I will keep that in mind Louise!

Oh HA! I see the LL review is coming up in your line up 😂, will watch soon!
Could u do a video on great read aloud books for young families? I would love suggestions. My kids are nearly 7, 5, & 3.
Ericca, That could be so much fun! I will totally keep that in mind! ❤
I was just coming here to comment about the same thing!
I need that leather insertable in my life!!! Where can I get it?😍😍 by the way… I just watched your video on the reasons why you are no longer using the good anand the beautiful. I plan on using it starting next month but I’m super proud of you for doing what was best for your family regardless of anything else!!!
You have totally inspired me!!! Love your homeschool story journal.
I just loved this video! thanks for sharing the resource ideas! I love the idea of your afternoon loop basket. could you do a video spanning a week with snippets of how you guys work through it?
LOVE your creative choices! Your creativity has totally inspired me Rebecca! How/where did you get the cute boxes, pretty fonts for the date, etc to make your portfolio so pretty?
I love your traveler’s notebook! It’s beautiful!! 😍
We just started doing a morning basket and are really enjoying it!
Very interesting to see how you incorporate Canadian geography into your morning basket...we went through one of Donna Ward’s books last year, and it was great! 😊
That's awesome! I'll be doing a full post on which books I use for Canadian socials as well as a free reading plan if anyone wants to follow along. Coming next week :)

OMG where did you get the Visualizing and verbalizing books? My child NEEDS that.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I love the things you are incorporating into the afternoon basket. I didn't know that master books had a language arts curriculum. We have one of their math books we will be using over the summer so will definitely be interested in your review.

This video has been very helpful in helping me set up my daily routine. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Do you have a more in depth look at your afternoon loop schedule?
We have been doing a morning basket for the past year and really enjoy it.
I feel like my daughter would love Grammar Galaxy. Is this a stand alone curriculum? Or what else would I need to add in? My friend is also going to show me her copy Language Lessons for a Living Education. Do you feel you would need to supplement with anythng else?
I've also am doing living world for math level one. I'm so happy with it. I love that it is a slower pace and does not so multiplacation.😁
Great video! I love the "Story of our Homeschool" idea. Keep up the great work, mama!
Will you do another video like this for what you’re using this year?? I’m using the good and the beautiful right now and you’ve really helped me to look in my heart and seek God about my choice in curriculum.

You have absolutely inspired me with your record keeping portfolio!
Do you use the brave writer arrows with your read aloud in the morning basket?
I think you're amazing. I'm just about to pull my son from school. However, I think I just got overwhelmed watching you! How do you come up with all of these? Where do you find these books and how do you decide? Oh my word...
I absolutely love the end of the video..what a great idea bullet journaling your year with the kids. I may just do this... :D
I recently found your blog and youtube channel. Thank you for sharing! In this video, you shared about 10 Min Bible Stories and 44 Animals. I am ordering them, right now! I was looking for a simplified way to do Morning Time and your explanation was just what I needed! Thank you, so much!

Yay!!! LOVES!! Always, always love to see what y'all are up to.. TY so much for sharing.. TY for being here.. such a great encouragement.. Happy Homeschooling.. (=
Thankyou for sharing. I really enjoyed learning about our canadian curriculum.
I was curious as to the visual verbalizing program. Do they have one for parents or are you using one for teachers? and a classroom. I looked at Gander Publishing and it was really expensive but geared towards a classroom. Thanks.
Hello. The afternoon loop do you do these items every day? Or just one item each day? I'm sorry I'm confused.
I got so inspired by this video!!! So many ideas 😊. Thank you!
I love your notebook, especially the old world charm of it
We tried math u see and right start. We hated both! Since we tried Masterbooks last year we have found our math love. We’ve used Singapore and Abeka and they are great too, but Masterbooks is just a better fit for us. Good luck with right start... but even seeing that book on this video makes me cringe haha. It was so MUCH...
We are using language lessons for a living education this year and I’m excited about it!
We’re doing My story 2 and Americas Story 1 from Masterbooks as well and I am so excited about that! It looks wonderful. For any other Americans reading this, Knowledge Box Central has a handwriting copy work called Famous Quotes from the Heavy Hitters from WW1 and WW2 for $5 and I’m having my fourth grader copy those quotes throughout the year and then doing a book report on one of his choice at the end of the year.
I NEED to have that Visualizing and Verbalizing program. Can you please tell me where you got this? I see it costs around $500... my son is 9 and his struggles sound so much like your child's. That's why I subscribe to your channel!!
What do you use for teaching reading? Specifically for your 6 and 8yos?
Do you have a list of recommended read alouds?
we love SUS as well! And I also am waiting for my books to arrive...that's all I need to receive before we can start! foundations phonics looks good. my kids love explode the code so much though that I could never switch. they look forward to that every day and they are in 1st,3rd this year. After books 7,8 this year for my 3rd grader though there are no more with ETC so I'll see about this foundations.

Are you still coming out with your bible curriculum elaboration with master books?
Did your 8 year old go from MB to teaching textbooks? My 9 year old wants something different than masterbooks.
Living Lessons for Education sounds great! Is that the same book with a different cover that the well trained mind has?
I love how do you integrate Canadian History in your morning routine. We are in California and I definitely will do the same with American history. Thank you for the great idea. Do you homeschool year around? If so, how do you do it?
It looks great.. i have to admit i am at a bit of a loss what to do. I ordered TGATB because i was hearing so many great things about it. Now hearing your thoughts i'm not sure i want to follow through with it for the next year.
How do you keep record for all your kids to be able to have them graduate and move on to college. I feel stuck to paying online curriculums just to not have to deal with keeping record and losing something please help
Could you please do your morning basket on Facebook live?😀
It sounds like my kids would like your schedule alot better.
When do you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also how do you juggle cooking, cleaning etc.
she has day in the life videos, you should check them out
Great choices. We love masterbooks!
I am liking what you are saying about morning baskets and looping, but I am not understanding the logistics of it all.
I need help desperately!! I have 10 yr old triplet boys and 8 year year old twin girls. All have adhd. One triplet boy has dyslexia and learning disabilities. Starting in sept.
Wow!!! Everything looks fabulous. ❤️ Why did you stop using TG&B?
I'll be talking about it in depth this morning at 10am PST/1pm EST on my Facebook page: facebook.com/homeschoolon
This was what I was wondering too!! Rebecca is why I got into it!
Could you make a video going into foundations phonics? I can’t get much info on it besides the website and I wish I could see it more in depth
I need help with a curriculum that I can teach all 5. And want to supplement using level appropriate for reading and math
Out of curiosity, why are you not using the Good and The Beautiful anymore?
Yay for Canadian homeschoolers 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I LOVE the basket being used for the 2nd looping basket. I can't find a reference anywhere. Anyone know where the basket came from?
Whole Foods?
Can you tell us how to find teaching textbooks for iPad?
Where did you get that travels notebook 🤓
Also, how do you even decide on curriculum? I'm browsing, trying to see what's out there for the future and am completely overwhelmed by the options. Also our province isn't the most homeschool friendly so hoping that will change.
A lot of it has to do with how my child learns best, what grade levels they are working on, and what I need to make sure they know by the end of the year. Yes, there are a lot of options out there, and not all of them work as well as we hope... there really is a little bit of luck that goes with making the final decision after all of the research. Feel free to send me an email and I can help you out more if you need it! rebecca@homeschoolon.com
Homeschool On thank you so much! Will keep you in mind, might email you to get your thoughts on a few things, even though my kids are nowhere near school age; 2 mo and 19 mo. Figure it's never too early to do research! 😉
You've got some time, but email me at any time!! I will say at there age, reading! Just read to them as much as you can, keep books down where they can get to them, and of course, play. Play is super important to learning especially in the early years.
Homeschool On my toddler loves books, although she is a bit rough on them. 😅 I've plasticized the outside of them to try and minimize damage and wear to the spine.
Do you have any homeschool planning videos?
Is there somewhere I can find your 18/19 read aloud list??
Which resources do you use to teach your kids Shakespeare?
I didn't know that it was called looping. I kind of do this but not every week.
I love your planner but where do you get the inserts?
I think she said she makes them.
beautiful portfolio!! thanks so much for sharing!!
i looked on amazon and i am havin trouble finding big travelers journals...all i find on there are small pocket size
Where did you get that basket? I love it!
My son is 9 and going into 4 grade, but math is a struggle and f is very behind like 1st or second grade level this is our first yr homeschooling. He has learning disabilities would rightstart be a great math curriculum
Where did you get the wooden plates in your “afternoon basket”?
Picture Study? what is a picture study? LOVE the video!!!
Will you do a flip through of language lessons for a living education?
Hi how do you choose your read aloud do you follow a list? I'm looking for ideas please
I would LOVE to see your list of books.
Right start Math Edition 1 vs Right Start Math edition 2?
Do you make your own bible curriculum or purchase one?
Would love to know where you get your resources and books from? Interested homeschooling later on when kids are older, but finding that most homeschool curriculum is u.s. Based. Also, how can you afford all those lovely books?! Books ain't cheap girl! 😂
Books and resources come from various sources honestly and it really depends on the curriculum. And yes, homeschool books aren't cheap at all! I do have a ton of resources on the blog to help you in deciding which curriculum might work best for you, including some quizzes to determine your children's preferred learning styles. Knowing how the learn best can help you figure out if a curriculum is going to work - it's not perfect, but a great way to start! ;)
Will you continue to use the Good and the Beautiful?
no. If you're around, come join me live to talk about it. Otherwise you can always catch the replay on my Facebook page :)
Homeschool On what time?
Homeschooling In The Pines 10am PST/1pm EST.
Homeschool On I'm taking time off Facebook, any chance it can be put up on UA-cam? I'm so curious too!
Fallowing!
You do all this in one year?
