Thanksgiving Homeschool Materials and Books
Wow, your space looks great! I love all your built-ins. I can definitely relate about science projects getting done late LOL usually we get to them a week or sometimes even two weeks later. Thanks for sharing.
We are doing a trial period of Oak Meadow for my 4th and 7th graders from their samples, I think it will be a great fit for our family! I wanted to buy it in May but the cost scared me off😂 I ended up piecing together various curriculua and probably spent close to the same as I would have just going with OM. But we aren't happy with most of our curriculums! The trial and error period can be so expensive and frustrating😂
@@elisabeth... it’s so hard to find the right curriculum and sometimes it works great for a while and then seems to not work anymore. We keep Oak Meadow as our spine. Everything we do is tied in somehow to the lessons in there. I will say, it is pricey but I’ve tried to go without it and spent just as much if not more. A lot of the extra books we add in can be borrowed from a library and there are plenty of crafts/hands-on projects one can do with household items! I hope you find the curriculum that fits you and your family!!
@@howweschool I like the idea of using OM as the spine and then adding in extras as needed. I have 3 kiddos so I'll at least get my money's worth out of it😂 I know we want to continue using Curiosity Chronicles(we started with a different history curriculum and quickly realized it wasn't working for us) so it's nice to see you also combine and OM and CC!
@@elisabeth... CC is our favorite history curriculum to pair with OM. It does mean (especially in the older years) that we cut a lot of the meat out of the curriculum but we always do at least the audiobook! We love the audiobook. We find the chapters that coincide with what we’re learning and go from there. With three kids you’ll get your money’s worth with anything you purchase that you like! Sounds like you’re working on having an amazing year!
@@howweschool I was so excited about the audio book! I have a toddler so finding time to read out loud can be difficult😂
@@elisabeth... I only have one and the audiobook helps me out so I’m sure it’s helpful with multiples and a toddler!
Those built-ins are amazing! Love the set up!
@@elisabeth... thank you, these built-ins are a huge positive for this room. It’s just about complete in here and ready for its close-up!
Lucky you winning a dk book. Also a free one and cheap one. Dk is awesome. I love local used book stores
@@BaileyAcademy I felt so lucky winning a DK book and it’s the one I wanted to get for this school year!!! Finding one at the used bookstore was the icing on the cake!
Is the price 60 something for 5 years or for each year or for each month???
@@tc5028 the current price is $67 for 5 years. It’s amazingly reasonable and we still only have good things to say about this program!
@@howweschool yippy! Thanks for your reply :)
@@tc5028 you’re welcome! I hope I’m right on my answer but from what I recall it is for the five years and a great program.
We just got our Oak Meadow curriculum this week, so exciting! The lab supply list is a great idea!
So exciting!! I hope you guys have an amazing year! I’m hoping this supply list and bin is successful
@@howweschool thank you! I hope you guys do too ☺
I love the plastic containers with the cups inside, is it a particular brand or do you have an amazon page?
@@WhimsicalFamilyLife I would definitely wait until these are on sale, I personally don’t feel they’re worth full price. Here’s the link for the containers: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CWLBD295?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
The video didn’t feel too long, it’s always nice to see your process, felt like a good catch up session with a friend 😊
@@porschiahaleywade8467 I’m so glad to hear it didn’t feel too long! It didn’t feel too long making it either for the same reason, it felt like I was catching up with friends!!
What have you all added to your homes for this school year that you love?
Do have an amazon storefront? Trying to find so many of these great choices.
@@lisabarman6020 I’m so happy you find so many of these helpful for you and your family! I do not have an Amazon storefront, maybe I should.
@@lisabarman6020 thanks to your comment I have started an amazing storefront. I’m slowly adding the things we have loved or have purchased. Thanks for the push!
Spellography is a great program
So glad you’re back!
@@missloki8764 thank you so much!
I love your kiddos commentary throughout! He is so excited to dive into all the new things. I know it's 3 years later, but I still watch older haul videos just to see what everyone else is buying. Some things make it on our wish list or in our current cart. Thanks for sharing!
@@melissalee2286 I’m so happy you enjoyed one of our older videos! I can let you know now that the Bumper Car Math was not a favorite for us. I hope you found items you’d love to use in your homeschool! Thanks for watching!
I love your longer videos! Lol thanks for sharing 😊
@@Michelgia523 thank you!
Where did you get the student planner?
@@danahall1282 hello. I got the planner off of Amazon. Here’s the link: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09N6SZJNY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I lean on IEW spelling Phonetic Zoo. I like the rules and lists.
@@EricaLucasLoves this seems to be the popular opinion for a spelling program. I’m going to look into it and see if we can implement it into our year! Thank you.
Always love watching your haul videos! Will you be using lightning lit this year? We're trying out Phonetic Zoo for my 6th and 7th graders spelling, hoping for more independence in middle school ☺
@@middleearthmom thank you. Phonetic Zoo seems to be the popular option so I think we will try to see if this will work for us. We do love IEW so I have a feeling we’ll love this too.
@@middleearthmom we didn’t get to lightning lit last year so we’re hoping to get to it this year.
Looking forward to hearing how the spanish curriculum works out. Sounds like a dun summer😊
@@WhimsicalFamilyLife thank you. I can’t wait to see how this Spanish works out. Not sure if it’s much of a curriculum or more of a workbook but being fluent I think I should be able to handle it, we’ll see.
We’re going to try IEW Phonetic Zoo for spelling…just the booklet, not the zoo cards or the audio files. I think the jingles/rhymes will be a fun way to review spelling rules.
@@dariusmannino6235 I’ll definitely look into Phonetic Zoo. Thank you!
phonetic zoo is great, if you just search 500 top misspelled words and print the list to use that would be plenty for the year too
Thank you for sharing this. I hope We can use it this year 🙂
@@ivelissebouet9563 if you do get around to it I hope you love it!
So simplified!! I love it ❤
@@greencreekheart thank you!
I also like longer videos. They’re worth it to get the details and thought processes for why different decisions are made.
@@tracylynn8101 I guess I’ll have to make a combination of long and short videos! It seems people do enjoy the long chatty ones as well.
Glad to see you back! We really enjoy your videos
@@tracylynn8101 thank you so much!
I've heard great things about Denison Pre-Algebra. Alternately, maybe Math Mammoth 7? Also, I love chatty videos. I just put them on while I'm folding laundry or doing dishes!
I’ve seen Denison math shared around quite a bit. I’m going to look into it, from what I remember seeing it wasn’t that budget friendly but I could be mistaken. Thanks for the recommendations. I will also put up some chatty videos as you’re not the only to say they enjoy chatty videos!
So glad you're finishing up. We also finish this week. May you have a lovely summer! 🙏☺️💗💕
Thank you! I hope you all have a wonderful summer as well 💕
Wish there was an option to triple Like!!! Renovation is so hard. I’ve been there. Congrats for making it through!
Thank you! Sometimes I really feel uncomfortable saying how difficult it was for us to school during home renovations, as I know it’s such a small problem in comparison to really problems, lol.
So happy when I see a notification for a video from you! I don’t mind the chattier ones! It helps me be super productive! I can fork laundry or make dinner while listening/watching! So chat away! Love hearing how your year went. Your trips sound incredible! Will you please share what people suggest for pre-algebra? I’m having a hard time wanting to continue with OM level 7 math with no solutions manual.
Thank you so much! You’re the best 😊 I love chatting away but I know I can go overboard, lol. I also often watch other RUclipsrs while I do housework and do look for longer videos when doing housework. I’ll need to find a balance. I’m hoping we get some pre-algebra suggestions! All the solutions for the OM level 7 are in the back of the student workbook. You can leave them there or rip them out so that you have them. Hope that helps!
We had the solutions to Om 6 (super old version) but it doesn’t show HOW the problems are solved. So I had to spend time reading the lesson, and working problems if she got stuck. I think that will get harder and harder 🤪
@@kellydugan7553 correct, it doesn’t show how to solve the problems. I usually read up a week ahead because of not he’s going to learn that I don’t remember half of this stuff, lol. It would be great if they showed the how.
How did your school year go?
We had a great year! We switched math programs (to Math with Confidence) for my younger two a few months into the year, so didn’t finish their current level, but it was such a great fit for all. I was thrilled with how independent my oldest could be with assignments!
@@kellydugan7553 I’m so glad to hear it was a great year in your home 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 How did you like Math with Confidence?
Love love love Math with Confidence. So sad it doesn’t go high enough for my oldest. Wish I was taught math the way it approaches it.
@@kellydugan7553 I’ve only tried OM, beast academy, CTC, TGTB, and Evan Moor. Now I wish I would tried Math with Confidence. Jam just liked OM math so we stuck with it and didn’t try very many others as to not overwhelm ourselves, ON worked and we stuck with it. I’m glad this worked so well for you guys!!
Was excited to see your video pop today! I'd love to hear more about the supplements you used for history.
So glad you saw our video pop up!! Yay! We will definitely share the supplements we used for history this year!
Which were his favorite kits for ancient? Looking at them for my son 🥰
Hello. My son’s favorites were the Pharoah Box, Alexander the Great Box, Ancient China, Pompeii, Olmecs, and Australia. I think it really depends on what activities your child enjoys. Jam loves painting and things he can reuse (boomerang, kite, etc.).
Missed you so much! So glad you are back! Bravo on your resiliency this year. Sounds like a challenge with the move/renovations. I was about to message you to ask if you’d consider sharing your tips on Greece because it’s on our list!
Thank you, I missed being here so much! I hope you guys had a wonderful school year! I don’t know how resilient we were this year, lol. We just got up and left often, hence why we won’t be done with the curriculum until sometime in July. I kept reminding myself I chose these renovations. I’ll try to make a video or post with all the places we went to in Greece!!
So good to see you here on RUclips!
💕 thank you!
Lovely to see! Happy you're back, I always love to see what you and Jam are studying and reading.
Thank you so much!! 💕
Hi!! Welcome back 😊
Thank you!
Glad to see you back! Looking forward to hearing your year wrap up.
Thank you!!
yay! Welcome back!
Thank you!!!
I have this book too.. Have you down the experiement: sanguine energy?
Hello! It’s been a while since we’ve done these. I have to look back and see which ones we did (we flagged them so we’d remember) but this book is currently in a box somewhere. I’ll be sure to get back to you when I find it. 😊
Curious if you can pick the color of the hands that are on the screen?
That’s a great question! I will check. It would be amazing if they do. I’ll get back to you this week with an answer!
@tamabama2004 I’ve put some pictures up on our instastories (our Instagram name is @howweschool as well) today for you. The answer is yes! There is a selection of colors for the hands. There is a lot of personalization that can be done in Typsey. This really is a great program. Or at least I can honestly say my son loves it!
Where is the calendar from?
Hello! The calendar is From Jennifer www.treasuresfromjennifer.com/products/home-calendar?variant=15115944394797 I hope that helps!
Miss you guys ❤
This was a terrific video, love all the supplements! We will be entering OM's 4th grade next Autumn can't wait.
Thank you! We enjoyed all of these supplements and still use some. I hope you all enjoy OM’s 4th grade math as much as we did!
We LOVE the Keep Going first aid kit we got from your recommendation!
Isn’t it the best!?! We love ours! I actually misplaced ours in the move and am considering just getting another one because I truly don’t like being without it. I’m so happy to hear you loved it as much as we do!
Wonderful! Would you consider filming a day in the life (DITL)?
Thank you guys! It is so great to see the reaction of Jam using Typesy. I am a new Technology teacher and thanks to your video I decided to use Typesy with my students.
Thanks for watching! I’m so happy to hear you’re trying out Typsey. We truly love it! I told Jam you’ve purchased it for your students and he said they’re going to enjoy the games! Please let us know how it goes for your students.
@@howweschool I'll definitely do that
What a collection! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any links or info where you got everything?
Thanks for watching. I will see if I can find links for the materials we used. We’re currently away so I will do it when we return.
❤ this! Thank you for the great recommendations and summaries. It’s refreshing to see non African Americans implementing Black History into their studies, especially since history has been so whitewashed and common core requires very little to none. Cuddos to you and your family’s diversity. I saw many recommendations that I’ve never heard of, but will be buying. You just earn a like and a new sub.
Thank you!
Love middle grade! Those sound very interesting! May you have a lovely weekend! 💗☺️
We love middle grade here too! They’re just so nice for quick fun reads. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
Oooh!! Adding The Firefly summer, The Remarkable Rescue and The Woodland Witch to our list!! Thank you for sharing! I feel like our families have similar taste in books so I love your suggestions!
Don’t those books look great! It’s always nice when you find others who enjoy similar books. If you read any let me know what you think of them!
Have you read the Girl and the Witch’s Garden? We recently enjoyed that one!
@@kellydugan7553 I own it but have never read it. I’ll try to get to that one soon. We usually are attracted to witchy books in October and November!
Ooh-so many fun goodies! Added some items to my wishlist! Yay for the blank calendars!
