      You are welcome, so glad you are enjoying them😊 As a boy mum myself I have had lots of experience with wiggly boys! My advice is to go slow, you do not have to do all the things at once. Pick a literacy and math program and then add in fun stuff for all the other subjects. Just do short sharp lessons, just work for 20 minutes on something and then take a short break or switch to something else. At that age you only need to do 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours of school a day. Good luck!

Also I felt like I wanted a better literacy program for them too then what Gather Round was providing.

    @lunaolivegrove 2 месяца назад

    Hi Marieka, thanks for your content. Do you have a video how you schedule the other resources around a unit study? Eg you do a gather round unit study for the term, how long do you dedicate to the unit study per day and then where do you fit the extras in? I'm getting my head around unit studies! Also i gather that you choose a unit study based on the WA curriculum outcomes so you would at some point cover HASS and Science outcomes in the years unit studies or supplement with read alouds like for Aus history etc? Thanks in advance!

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 месяца назад

      You are welcome, thank you for watching and supporting my channel😊 I no longer use unit studies but when I was using them I would choose one unit study and do it for the whole term. The unit study would cover all the learning areas and I would just add in a few extra things. We would spend an hour to an hour and a half on the unit study and then add in one or two extra things after completing the unit study each day. The two other things would only take 40 mins to complete so we were doing about 2 to 2 and a half hours of work a day. The type of things I would add would be math (as math was no included in the unit study) and any extra work my children needed so if they needed extra writing practice then I would add that in or if I needed to add in extra Australian history stuff then I would add that in. You do not need to make sure they follow along exactly with the Aus curriculum. I hope that answer was helpful!

    Do you have an Amazon store front or a link to what printer that you use? I’ve heard some mixed reviews about the Epsom printer that the quality isn’t good and there’s lines through the pages? Have you had that issue?

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 месяца назад

      I don't have an amazon store sorry. I love the eco tank, every now and then the lines come across the page and that just means the header needs a clean and you just choose the function to clean header on the printer and it will do it for you. It is just a maintenance issue and most printers will have issues like that

    Are you still using Jump In for writing or have you completed writing?

      We are not using Jump in any more as I feel like writing is covered enough in the Good and Beautiful literacy program

    One of the reasons why we're after HS is we want individualised and tailored education at our own pace. I'm curious how Euka actually meets those needs?

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 месяца назад

      When you sign up for a program you are signing up to complete the work that they set. There is flexibility in how much of the work you choose to complete and when you complete it. You can move at your own pace through the curriculum. It is set out into 5 days worth of work for 10 weeks but you can complete them at any rate as there is no time limit on it or no external person waiting for you to hand it in or mark it. Hope that makes sense😊

    Hi from QLD Australia, however I'm originally from the UK and looking into homeschooling. They call it Kindy, Prep and then grade 1 here which is same as WA? I feel a bit stupid..how does this translate for some of the American resources you use. I've got muddled with different countries terms. For instance is Grade 1 Aussie Prep? Thanks for all your videos!

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 месяца назад

      It can be very confusing! Yes here in WA it goes kindy when the children are 4/5 years old, pre primary when they are 5/6 years old and grade one begins when they are 6/7 years old. The American system is similar, their first grade is when children are 6/7 years old. Often they have pre school and kindergarten as well but that is before the children turn 6/7 years old. If you are looking at curriculum and you don't know which level to start at have a look if there is a placement test your child can take and then that should place them are the right level

    Hi Marieka, thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful. I'm using the first volume with my first grader right now. We started using it at the start of term 2 but because she's so interested in reading the stories and doesn't like to stop at one chapter, we're already halfway through the book. I gave her some sheets here and there to answer a few questions on some of the chapters, but for the most part it's just a read aloud, maybe a craft, and discussion questions. I was thinking of giving her some more sheets to add to her history portfolio about ancient Egypt, since she only did very few questions/writing on that topic. Do you think it would be ok to pause and go back and do a bit more on a previous topic (eg ancient Egypt) and then return to where we are currently up to?

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 месяца назад

      It is a great resource, I am glad that she is enjoying it. Personally I think it is totally fine to go back and go over something and then return to where you were at

    I would never allow my child to read the boy and the striped pyjamas. Let alone in yr8. Its way too horrific of a story. This is why going with mainstream things can be challenging and finding age appropriate books that arent forced on us through curriculum.

    • @Mariekalake
      @Mariekalake 2 месяца назад

      Just to clarify this is for year 10, grade 8 would have a different text to read

      If we shy away from history we are doomed to repeat it. My 6yr old knows this story, it’s very appropriate for year 10.
