Homeschool READ ALOUDS | Help Your Kids LOVE Them
Very helpful. Can you olease show us a picture or pdf of a schedule youve put together?
So glad I found your review video! Came from the flip-through book 3 video and I loved how detailed the video is but I was curious to know how it actually had worked for your kids. Thank you for such a detailed review!
Glad you found this video! I saw your comment on the other one and was about to send you here.
This video was right on time for me! I have felt the Lord telling me to slow down and go steady with our homeschooling, to listen to Him and His plan instead of trying to rush with mine. There's a stillness and peace that comes with it, making it a refuge from how hectic daily life can be. This is also our second year using SCM for math and reading. I'm really looking forward to your videos and seeing how you incorporate SCM!
Thank you for sharing such a detailed video of the book! I am about to order it and had a few doubts about what it covered and this video helped clear that for me. I'd love to hear your actual review of it, like how well did it work for your kids and will you continue with this curriculum?
Where can I find these beautiful books with the fabrics and or leather covers?? By luck at the used book store?? Anywhere else? 😍
Yepp! We always get them at used book stores. Sometimes you can find them online (like eBay), but depending on what they are, they can be expensive. At the used book store, they’re usually very budget-friendly. Another good place to try are church sales, estate sales, etc.
Is this considered 4th grade?
Yes! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I named my daughter Éowyn!
Love it!
So so so relatable 💕💕💕 I feel all of this!
That’s the issue I find myself having with my math minded child. He’s amazing it’s numbers. But this year we started in TGTB math4 and he’s not enjoying it nor grasping it.
Loved hearing about your experience with BSF! And your reflections on how this year has shifted. We are also LOTR nerds over here, so I loved your mug!
Thank you so much! I'm new to your channel as my algorithm suggested this video, and it was spot on! We also used to use AO but switched over to SCM once I had three students. We've found family subjects not only simpler but richer for us all. We also are BSFers and deeply appreciate studying God's Word as a Church and not only as a denomination. Unity in Jesus is beautiful. I look forward to watching your other videos!
Welcome ❤️ so nice to hear from you!
Thank you for the encouragement to move foward, make the necessary adjudtments to enjoy learning all together in the right environment
I think I needed this video today. Thanks. 😊
This was a much needed video for me, thank you! I have really missed your videos and can’t wait to see the next one!
Thank you for this ❤️
I’m not even married but I’m so excited to be a homeschool mum
It is amazing how God works. I was telling my husband yesterday that next year I want to look into BSF. Then this morning I see this video!
Amazing ❤️
Different seasons definitely require shifting. What you love some years doesn’t necessarily last forever. Nice job listening to the Holy Spirit to know what direction your family needed. 😊 Glad to see you on here. ❤
Wow wow wow. This week I started so many changes including Ambleside with my 4 kids and I just broke down….. it was SO overwhelming. So I decided to just pray and rest in him today and you posted this video! It’s the reaffirmation I needed that it will be ok and sometimes we have to have a change so we can end up where we need to be! I’m very very new to charlotte mason and I’m still unsure as to what I need to be doing with them honestly.. I started the truth and beauty curriculum! It is very different from what I am used to. I would say it’s a lot like elementary arithmetic from Simply Charlotte Mason.. and I’m not really used to that slowed down approach.. I have been doing the good and the beautiful for four years and I sort of just have started to feel like it’s not for us. I think it was a great starter when I needed to find something fast. But now that I’m sort of seasoned, I am on the hunt. ❤ looking forward to more of your updates and seeing what works for you! I just want to read all day and find good books! So let me know if you hear of anything.
So exciting for you ❤️ sounds like you’re in a time of transition with homeschooling but the good, fun kind. Learning the ropes with Charlotte Mason is a bit of a learning curve, but you’ll find your groove over time. As for book recommendations, do you want them for you or your kids? My favorites so far for me have been classic romances. Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, etc with my top 2 favorite novels of theirs being Jane Eyre and Persuasion. Another gem that I hadn’t heard of and is a pretty cozy read is The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery (the author of Anne of Green Gables). Ughh I loved that one! But really my reading interests tend to be all over the place so then I also enjoy dystopian stuff, mysteries, fantasy, sci-fi… just give me all the books 😂
So glad you’re back! We, too, stopped using Ambleside this year because it was just SO MUCH. And we feel so much freedom now.
Thank you for this video. We are currently still using ambleside with my three but I continue to get reminders from God that I don’t need to check all the boxes. Glad to hear how you’ve been led this year!
I have prayed for my son to find friends for so long. He is 17. I hope he finds some. I'm so glad your child found friends.
I’m praying right now for your son
@smithpartyof6 thank you.
This is wonderful and so timely for our family. I had grand plans at the start of the year and we have cut most of it down to the basics with very few extras in the past few weeks. In this season of our lives, prioritizing with the power of prayer is key! Thank you for your words of wisdom and support. I always enjoy your videos and draw so much inspiration from them. Blessings! ❤
I’m so glad it was timely for you ❤️ and it’s nice to know we’re not the only ones in this season of paring down!
I feel like you’re speaking directly to me about going down the rabbit hole of research and videos in the beginning 😅😂
New subscriber here! Because I am thinking of switching from Waldorf to Charlotte Mason using Amble side I love how well and clear you explain things. I know you are switching but my main question is, did you feel you had to supplement for history? Or did you just follow it through as it is? I am really looking into introducing history with a few of all cultures, keeping it diverse and true. Did you find anything that you didn’t align with at all? My second question and important as well. I have a 10 year old and an 8 year and I’m still not sure what year to start. I don’t mind combining while adding in anything for my oldest. Thank you
Hi! So as far as supplementation, that didn’t feel necessary. There was a lot to cover between their history and biography readings. As for aligning with different cultural perspectives, something that I always remind my children is that most history sources are going to be biased one way or another. One of the things that I liked about AO was that sometimes, between different sources being read, you could get different perspectives on the same historical event or time period. That wasn’t always the case, but there were times when that happened. Of course, Ambleside follows Charlotte Mason’s way of learning history. She suggested starting with your own history before branching off and learning about the rest of the globe. So we learned British history up to the revolutionary period at which time the focus shifted to America. And as for which year, I would probably do sometime between years 2-4, just depending on what your kids have already learned and which readings you think would benefit them the most. They should be challenging but not too lofty. So you kind of have to find that sweet spot. I’d look at some of the selections online and see what you think they’d be able to handle! I hope this helps!
@ this helps sooo much thank you . I am thinking of doing both at year 2 history.
@benaturalbefree630 grouping makes things so much easier! So if you can do both in the same year, that’s awesome. Enjoy!
This is exciting! I just got into SCM and bought a bunch of things. I’m all about homeschooling my three kids together and leveling up or down according to my kids and where they are. That’s a huge reason why I am going in the SCM direction. Excited to see your upcoming videos ❤
So excited to hear more about SCM. We were in our second year of AO (Years 3 and 4) and we love love love it, but it is a lot and there are many a day I question if a family style, more pared down curriculum would be better for peace and harmony. 😅
Any video coming out soon?
Yes! Glad you asked. I actually have two on my heart to film this week to give an update on life and how things are going in our homeschool. So they’ll be out soon
@@smithpartyof6I’ve been waiting for an update as well ❤
Queria agradecer você por fazer esse vídeo, apesar de achar que não vá ver esse comentário, porque eu comecei com uma matemática clássica e minha filha que amava matematica, ao chegar no primeiro ano ela passou a odiar. Paguei tão caro no material e ela nem o terminou. Para o segundo ano eu corri em TGTB por ser mais simples, e voltei para o curriculo do primeiro ano, já que senti que ela havia desperdiçado o tempo com o outro material. Foi tão bom! Ela terminou o nivel 1 e já começou o nível 2 antes de acabar seu ano letivo. Estamos em quase 50 % do livro 2 e vamos terminar no ano que vem ( aqui no Brasil o ano letivo começa em fevereiro e termina em Dezembro). Sei que ela vai começar o volume 3 antes do segundo semestre, de tanto que ama. Eu tenho TDAH e para mim a apostila TGTB tem sido ótima, porque também lembro coisas que havia esquecido ou não aprendido tão bem e consigo explicar de forma simplificada para minha filha. Que seus filhos amem a matematica novamente com o Singapura e viva o Homeschooling que é tão flexivel!
This is soooo helpful! I have 3 kiddos who I will be doing a book with and AO has sort of overwhelmed me time wise between all of my kids. You have done such an amazing job with your kids in all your videos using it! So I’m really really excited to know what your updates on what has been working for you because I also had a really hard time with the reduced family readaloud time. I can use all the help I can get once you figured out your own groove!! 🥰🥰
I know this is an older video but im curious what you do the when your time slot is up but you havent finished the lesson? Do you continue with the rest of your schedule and pick back up the next day? struggling with this part of it but this would be so helpful.
It really takes a lot of getting used to! If we’re going over time, there are usually 3 possibilities. 1) It shows me I need to break the lessons down more. Maybe I had scheduled an entire chapter when I should have broken it down further and only done half a chapter. 2) It could mean that we spent too much dawdling time during a lesson instead of our keeping focus. I tend to do this and get sucked into rabbit trails when the kids ask certain questions. Before I know it, it’s been 10 minutes, and we’re completely off topic. 3) It was just a fluke or a bad day. If it happens consistently, that’s usually when I realize I’ve tried to schedule too much into one sitting. I re-evaluate and see if we need more time slots for that subject each week to keep the lessons short. Hope that helps some!
Thank you for the wonderful informations. My daughter was 1st grade in highly capable program last year but they learned 3rd grade Math, now we moved and have a hard time with her current online school, even though she completely moved up one grade to 3rd grade class and attending 4th grade class in math still didn’t work out. I prefer the mastery approach as well so I think the Singapore Math would works best for us. Do you happen to have any advice about The Beast Academy? I have heard it works great for the gifted kids but the comic style is kinda something really hold me back. Thanks again for your video.
No problem! And no, I don’t have any experience with Beast Academy. Sorry!
Thanks for sharing. I was introduced to CM through SCM and while our oldest is only 5 and we haven’t really done formal lesson yet, but I have been looking through SCM, AO, as well as Under the Home and I always lean towards SCM on what we will follow once we get to formal lesson. So I’m excited to see any new content you put out on SCM.
Thanks for sharing your Bible teaching. I thought the Bible drill is a great idea to add to our homeschool & great Bible resources! May all we do, be done unto the Lord ❤
Thank you for this review! ❤
How many activities do you use from the teacher’s guide and how often?
How are things going with the switch? So curious on how your year is going:)
It’s going well! It’s amazing how God lays something on your heart before you even fully realize why you need it. With some unforeseen family stuff that we’ve had going on, it would have been nearly impossible to try to keep up with what we were doing before. The switch ended up being exactly what we needed. Thanks for asking!
Such a thorough review! So helpful, thank you!
What did/do you use for ASL? I know you said you are kind of breaking from it for a bit but I have struggled to find a good resource for it
It can be tricky with ASL. It’s really best to learn from someone in the deaf community if possible. Or someone who’s nationally certified. We have a great local program that has fall and spring ASL classes in person. Our group of friends also includes several deaf individuals so the kids get some practice that way. So if you’re interested, I’d say try to find a local program if possible. The one in our community is free, so hopefully there’ll be something similar near you!
Thank you so much for this detailed review! I appreciated your disclaimer in the beginning regarding religion, that offered a lot of clarity!
How long does it take to do daily?
Don't know if you'd like them, but you could checkout my books. Just look for author Stacy James Meadows to see my work. Hope you have a great week. 😅
This reminds me of the Wentworth Primary Arithmetic that we use (1890s math). It's public domain, includes slate work, very straight forward, written more for the teacher.
this was so helpful! Thank you! I've been looking for a CM math curriculum for a few weeks. I think I'm gonna buy this for my first grader!
Incredibly helpful! I think adding this with either build your library or torchlight for more literature/reading might work perfectly for us! It doesn’t seem to have much literature.
How old are your kids
My children are now in grades 1, 3, 5, and 6.
I found you today because I am just starting AO Year 1 this year. so I have been watching your previous videos. So, when I saw this, I was like, "Oh man!" But your perspective is so wise and you've removed your ego for homeschooling-- which is not so easy in the homeschooling world! I'm excited to follow your SCM journey despite being on AO myself.
Thank you for this!
What did you use to make the pictures
Hi! We created their designs in Canva: www.canva.com
How you evaluate?? Where get the assessment??
Each country or state differs in their homeschool laws. Are you in the US?
@@smithpartyof6 yes moved to Florida was homeschooling in California
Okay perfect! You can read more about homeschooling laws for Florida here: hslda.org/legal/florida
What you have to bring for homeschool evaluation of your kids?? Is it mandatory??
Each country or state differs in its laws, so it really depends on where you live. Our state requires yearly assessment, so that’s why we do it. If you’re in the US, you can find out more about your state homeschooling laws here: hslda.org/legal?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADv9Ad429v-1THn-SLXrGyGdAy-ht&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-ai0BhDPARIsAB6hmP72o0CaWeM1Qyu5gmiOsjez8DM1A2nAl3QPgoxxEHzSSnwBR9NLb_caAnTUEALw_wcB
That’s a really cool idea but I feel like if the kids couldn’t get enough points they would feel upset and left out
I totally understand that concern. But the way I’ve set it up, they all have the same opportunity to get points. And I want them to be motivated to meet goals.
@@smithpartyof6 that’s good ☺️
