I don’t, sorry! I found them on the church’s website probably 5 years ago, but I can’t find them again.

Oh ya, I feel ya. For whatever reason the writing portion is always tricky! Good luck!

You’re welcome! I don’t have any good printer recommendations, my current one is not very reliable, sorry!

I am pretty sure I first saw those Kumon books on your channel a few years ago 😆. They’ve been a hit with all my little ones so far!

Oh that’s rad! The wood letter pieces are $38 on their own I believe. I’ll have to check for a used one, cuz that’s a great idea!

It sounds like a good one though right?! So far the ones we have read have been a hit!

That is so good to hear!! Thank you for letting me know that you loved it!

You’re welcome! 😊

I wish, but no. We decided to not use an online charter school this year, so we are flying solo with the purchases.

@@karifacer oh okay! Do the tuttle twins have religious content?

The book series does not, with the exception of the first book - which mentions God in a part, but more like, “the founding fathers believed this…” As for the history books, I am unsure.

@@karifacer okay, thank you for responding!

We aren’t doing charter this year… Mostly because I knew I wanted to use religious materials and our charter wasn’t allowing us to even turn in stuff if it wasn’t approved curriculum and I already owned some of the curriculum. So we are on our own this year! Good luck though! Some charter schools are more relaxed than others so hopefully you can figure something out!

I say it depends how much of it you plan to use. If you plan to use a majority of it, I would just buy the printed version! But I also laminated it when I printed it myself too…so maybe that’s why I feel that way 🤪. But if you just want to use the guide without the cards, and add in a few things, the pdf version is so nice for that!

@@karifacer thanks! Do the printing guides suggest what paper to print it on?

Yes! For the cards and storyboard pack they suggest using around 90lb cardstock. And they give suggestions for the other things as well. Mostly cardstock and laminating though.

I hope it works out for you guys!

That’s totally ok if it can’t be replaced! I love Paper Pie (and used to work for them too:) I’m sure I will buy more from them in the future because they have such great books!

Yes I do! I'll put it in the description box as well: amzn.to/4dM6sUL

Yes, I’ve looked at that one too! We are Christian, which is one reason I thought it would be cool, but have never actually used it. But I didn’t know they had manipulatives that went along with it too! Now I’ll have to look into it more:)

Thanks! Hoping it’s a great year!

You’re welcome! 🫶🏼

I’m glad it was helpful! That’s so awesome that you got some passed down to you!

A little too adventurous 🫠. For AAR I went on their website and printed out the free downloadable games and have them all laminated and we cycle through those when doing flash cards and fluency sheets and that seems to make it way more fun because it can get a little dry! Good luck with BFB! I hope it works out 🤞🏼

I’m so glad you found the unboxing helpful! Thanks for your comment 🫶🏼

Thank you🫶🏼

Yes! I’m getting excited for this next year, but also enjoying summer. PS, I love your cute little goats! My kids watched with me!

How fun you get to teach twins! I’m sure it comes with its challenges, but also, how fun! Thanks for watching! I hope it’s a great year for you guys!

The books are all picture books, so they take 10 minutes or less to read and so you just read the whole thing in one sitting. You end up reading the book twice during the week, but the second time is optional I believe.

Oh good, I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

It really is! Visually too 🤗

I was hoping someone would! I’ll make sure to do one:) it may just take me a while to get to it 🫣

This probably isn't the answer you want, but I found the paper cutter at a garage sale years ago and can't find the same one online. The white folder with the page protectors is from a store called "Daiso" which is a Japanese store near us. I will try and put some things in the description box, but let me know if there is a specific item you need!

I actually haven't looked into Horizons or Apologia much, so I'm not sure.

I don't have any organization tips, but they are pretty open in the way that you can use them. If you wanted to go through one issue every month you could or you could go over one issue for a few months. They come with PDF files as well that include flashcards and coloring pages. You could totally use it as a whole history or geography curriculum. It may be slightly advanced for kindergarten depending on your child. Because we haven't used it much yet I don't feel like I am very helpful! But I am sure there are other videos out there that dive deeper into it.

@@karifacer thank you so much

I do plan to do a review of the Good and the Beautiful, but not til we are done with it, or almost done. The videos of people that work with TGTB that I know of, were using them before and partnered with them later because they loved them. So I am not wary of their reviews and trust what they say. You can also go to TGTB website and download both the Math and LA curriculum for free and comb through it to see what you think!

@@karifacer thank you so much. And I did and tbh I don’t think I will go with them only bc my opinion it’s started to get to fluffy and not enough in detail. Like art work is great and the idea so nice but just to “ fluffy “ so w will pass on it! Thank you again

I'm glad it was helpful! Everything comes in order and all organized. You can unwrap it and immediately put it into a binder as is! Most people leave the worksheets in the teacher's guide, but if you do decide to separate them they are all labeled. So if they were to fall on the ground and get all mixed up you could easily put them back in order because they are labeled. The worksheets are just behind each week overview page, so they are in the week you are currently on if you leave them where they are. And yes, if you want the Christian part, go with Sonlight.

@@karifacer thank you so much for the reply and thank you for the clarification!! Super helpful :)

I always enjoy watching other people's curriculum choices videos for their next year, because it's a fun reveal! If you have watched any of my other videos I give away everything except for what we are using for science, so I thought I would keep that as a surprise for when I make my curriculum choices video :) so it wasn't meant to be frustrating, but fun! The books are either for Gentle and Classical Primer, Around the World with Picture Books or Science.

@@karifacer ohh I see now! I watched a couple of other videos you made (I believe one was your very first video talking about math curriculum), I didn’t know you usually do that sorry! Haha! I have been doing lots of research to start HS for the first time and I am looking for curriculum choice videos. Sorry about the misunderstanding! I love your videos!

@@karenthelen7492 No worries! I can see how that would be annoying if someone was talking about their curriculum choices without explaining what stuff was for!

Full disclosure: we have not begun this yet, but we will in a few weeks (we are currently finishing the preschool bundle). I did however use it a couple years ago with another child and absolutely loved it! At that time I didn't purchase the whole bundle, I had the teacher's guide, and the storyboard pack and purchased all the wonder tales as well as some of the core books. All the book recommendations that we used were fantastic! This time around we will be doing it all, including the art and music stuff. But my kids are now used to the flashcards because we have been doing the preschool bundle and I love having those! This is something that I recommend to my friends though because we have loved everything we have done thus far. Rachel from "seven in all" does a lot of flip throughs and reviews with them as well if you want another opinion as well.

@@karifacer thanks so much, I really appreciate your response. It truly looks phenomenal. When I do purchase, I’ll use your $5 off code (in case you get credit for it). Thanks!

@@amycanon9919 Thanks Amy!

Thanks for watching!

Is this gentle feast? What curriculum, if you don’t mind sharing

@@sandramontanez7767 ill shoot you a message. I don't want to spoil her videos.

That's so good to hear! It will be new to us but it just seems like a sweet and fun science! And you can say the curriculum on here, I definitely appreciate the consideration though! 🥰

@@sandramontanez7767 I believe it is Beautiful Feet's Afield Guide.

Me too! Thanks for watching!

That one I can tell you! It's for The Gentle and Classical Primer:) I have an unboxing video of it too

Thank you!

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Ahh! Thank you! 🫶🏼

Thanks! A lot of them were new to me too!

My son is attending an in person charter school this year, but if I were homeschooling him I would have continued it and done the second half of the curriculum. I don't know about later levels though.

Haha! You have to remember that's including the table of contents, the title pages for each book, optional workbook pages, and dictionary pages in the back (also optional). Each week has about 4 pages to do, so it's really very doable. But yes, it does look daunting if you just look at the workbook! The read alouds were all enjoyable though!

You're welcome! I want to say it took anywhere from 15-35 mins. Sometimes we split the days if he wanted to talk more about the book or was taking a long time to do the writing portion.

That's a good question! As of right now my two older kids (10 and 7) are attending an in person charter school, so I'm not doing homeschool with them this year. I will likely do homeschool with them for middle school, so I don't know what I will pick at that time. We only did the first half of grade 1, so I would have stuck with it and done the second half this year if I homeschooled that child.

Oh! That would be fun to do it with a group! And thank you, you too!

Thank you! You too!

I’m so glad it was helpful! 😊

I’m so glad the videos were helpful! And oh my goodness they are pricey! Haha. I know some moms have had success with finding it second hand. Good luck though!

@@karifacer that’s a good idea! I’ll have to start searching now lol. Thanks
