We are starting homeschool this year and I have loved seeing your advice in Facebook groups and TikTok!. I am also using a lot of CLE and my daughter would have been entering 2nd grade. I did the diagnostic math and she did not know all of the concepts covered either. What I did was I have the teacher guides for level 1 math and have figured out what light units/lessons she needs and we will just be hitting on those before going to 2nd grade!
This is exactly what we are doing!! We are supposed to be moving into second technically, but I feel like doing some of the level 1 will help fill in gaps before we move on. CLE is just SO good!!!
Yes!! I switched from MUS to CLE. The diagnostic test was key! Both of my older kids placed lower. I trusted them and am so glad I did. There were so many gaps to fill.
We love CLE math! I used 1st grade, 2nd grade and 4th. They have all done so well. It’s the best math we’ve ever used. We have tried Horizons, Math U See and ACE. None of those worked for us.
Have you watched numberblocks? Our 4 year old can already count by 5's and 10's and multiply, subtract, add, all from playing with numberblocks and building that characters from the show!
Hi there! New to homeschooling! Really appreciate this video! Couple questions: do you feel like the Christian Light LA is comprehensive enough that we DONT need any stand along programs for spelling, grammar, or handwriting? Do you include any writing composition curriculum?
My older kids are in lower levels but we just tell them levels don’t equal grades. My kids love video games so the easiest way to explain it to them. You work hard you can level up with time.
I’m really trying to find an engaging Bible curriculum. I’ve heard good things about Christian light education, and almost nothing about abeka, despite their popularity. I would love to see what works for your kids (songs, worksheets, videos, memory verses?) and maybe an example of you teaching a lesson! Thanks for sharing!
Abeka is honestly the best. If we could afford it we would stay with them. I have a video showing the Bible lessons online on my TikTok! Search “Abeka Bible” and it should be one of the first to pop up! I can definitely show more examples too
I’m really struggling to find a reading program for my 6 year old. We were doing the good and the beautiful, then we stopped cause I feel like he wasn’t really learning anything. I was looking into Christian light but I’m scared to fail him on reading. English isn’t my first language, some words I pronounce them wrong lol do you recommend to do bju for reading since is online?
BJU or Abeka both have very strong phonics and reading programs that also have online options. Perfect for parents who aren’t strong in English!! Christian light is amazing for reading but the parent is doing all of the teaching with online options

We have completed 6 grades of CLE math. First grade is super advanced. It’s an excellent program and easy to teach.
We love CLE math! I have used them for 3 years straight. I have no regrets!❤😊
I had never heard of Schoolhouse Discoveries! They look amazing! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your videos. I switched to Horizons math after watching one of them.
So glad I found your channel

Totally agree!!

Coming soon!
Looking forward to the deep dives! Great video!
I have been blown away by CLE math 1 🎉

I want Horizons preschool for my 4 year old 😚
Love your choices 🎉
Thank you for sharing ☺️
It’s so good!! There’s a coupon for horizons in the video description too 😊
I love homeschool hauls. Our curriculum will be arriving late July to August
So exciting!!!

Yesssss!!!! Brilliant show
New sub here. Thank you for sharing. I would like to see a flip through of the AOP Bible curriculum when you have a chance. TIA 😊
Campfire curriculums is much better than gather round too I think!
I’ve heard this!!
Schoolhouse discoveries looks sooo good
They’re so cool!!!
We love CLE I feel like it’s so advanced so it’s ok that any child is a level below. It honestly doesn’t matter.
Exactly!! Working with your child at the level they are at - I wish everyone would do this

Would love a Bible life pack flip through! :)
Coming soon! ❤
Very interested in the AOP Bible and BJU science!!
Both are so great!! There’s a coupon for AOP in the video description too

Love that analogy!!!

Are you still doing classical conversations as well?
Yes we are!!! We do 10 min of memory work a day
We did not like CLE. Jumps around too much and too repetitive. My daughter didn't retain much.
