On behalf of parents everywhere, thank you.
We homeschooled our three kids through high school (18 years). I miss those days so much. I used to help homeschoolers with choosing curriculum. Homeschooling in NY State was not easy, but definitely possible. So nice of you to share and bless others with such a wonderful resource. It was the best decision God ever made for us! :-)
I'm getting ready to homeschool my 5 year old and have been so overwhelmed and confused with everything out there. I can barely afford groceries right now nevermind homeschooling material. I just cried watching this. Thank you so much for this! So grateful for you!!! Thank you for all you do! 🧡
Welcome! Please use it
I already starting printing some things 😊💜 thank you!
Our local library allows us to print 10 pages per week for free!
We are finishing up our second year of homeschooling. I ordered the 4th and 6th grade books. Best decision ever! My kids love it. My son (10) has autism and your workbooks have allowed him to work more independently. My daughter (12) has nothing but great things to say about your books and she absolutely loves the cooking videos. You have really been a blessing to our family! Thanks so much....God bless you.
I am speechless - what a wonderful school system and life skills. Thank-you!
Thank you so much! I was worrying about homeschooling my 5 yr old with very mild Autism and refuse to send him to public school to be bullied!
Good on you for taking action! More people need to be willing to educate their children themselves, like they used to.
I dont blame you at all. Schools need to be free of indoctrination and actually teach subjects which include our history
My daughter said when she marries and has kids I can home school them! This will come in handy some day. I had her reading novels at age 5 made sure she could read from a news paper. Her first novel was Robinson Crusoe.
This is so good! My last child just graduated homeschool highschool so I don't need this right now but I'm so happy to share and encourage someone else with it....thank you so very much!
Congrats to you! And thank u
Hi from the UK. Homeschooling is becoming more popular in the UK now. When my children were young it was quite unusual in my small town, I wish there had been more information 20+ years ago! I have worked in childcare all my adult life and know this would have worked for my two. The internet is a wonderful thing for information on everything!
Jennie Martin I live in the UK too but in as much as I wanna do it with my daughter I cannot do it. I am working.
OH MY GOODNESS! You are so life giving and a wonderful human being.
I was trained to be a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher (Home Ec) and I love what I've seen of your courses for Home Ec so far! I'm excited to use these with my kids one day! Thank you!
That makes me smile ☺️
I found your site when my second son was in second grade, and I didn't like the second grade curriculum we were doing. Idk if you even know how much a free curriculum is worth to those who can't afford to buy one, but it has helped our homeschool several times. Thank you for being generous with the work you have put in.
I do actually because i have been in that position for many many years it is why i give it away. I'm glad you could use it
I've used your free printables, they are really good!
Such a generous share. This will help so many families! You rock. *new subbie* ~Niki
Yes!!! We have been homeschooling for 3 years and I have used your resources from plain not so plain!!! 💚💚💚💚 it’s great. Thanks Amy!!!! Your homeschool videos make me feel more confident and capable 💚💚💚
As you should be! You have the MOST influence over your children's lives...😀💜
Blessings for all you do dearest mama!! HUGS!!!
Great job! It is so pleasant to find someone who understands that you want the best for your kids and know what it is like to have limited resources!! Blessings!
Such great advice from a long time homeschool momma!! Thank you for your amazing resources!♥️
Very interesting ... sometimes I wish I had home schooled my daughter, but I was always afraid she’d miss out on socialization. It’s nice that you were able to build a community of home schooled families where the kids could interact with others.
One thing I DID do with her were all the library extras and reading .. reading ... reading .... best place to learn stuff.
Thank you for sharing
My kids are currently in public school but 2 years ago I started looking into homeschooling and while I’m waiting for my spouse to be on-board with it as well I’ve been using your site to fill in where I think they need it, summer work etc. You are amazing 💕
Thank you so much for providing the homeschool resources! Such a big blessing!
you are such a marvellous person ...you truly are ...kind hearted for sure n definitely a great mum 🧡
THANK YOU!!! I was just searching online yesterday wondering what I can do for my daughter next year.
this is new to my wife and I. we have been looking around for good cirric. thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you so much for all this information, i will be doing homeschooling this year for the first time with my five year old and you have made it so easy for me with your book thank you, thank you
Thank you so much for doing this. My homeschool curriculum for my 5 kids is about $600 this year. I think I may talk to my husband about your books. Love watching your videos.
It is amazing that you do this!
That's wonderful that you do that for your southpaws. I'm left handed and my teacher forced me to use my right in kindergarten. I'm thankful now, because I'm "other" handed and use both easily, but it was horrible during that time. Thankfully, my dad realized what was happening and put a stop to it.
I've been to your site many times and your homeschool material is wonderful!
Thank you so much for sharing. It took me a couple of years to figure out you actually do not need the expensive books but just to teach the basics. The printer and computer became our lifeline. We have two now in college and 1 at home still in elementary. It has been worth it so much. No testing in Arkansas anymore here either. God bless you !
Amy thank you dear. I'm currently using Abek and boy it is rigorous! You're a blessing from God to us.
Something that I don't think you have hit on is the secret blessing in keeping your homeschool simple by using a basics program with classic books...as that is what your program looks like to me, and that is that it keeps mothers from piling on unnecessarily subjects to their plates ( making them less available to the family and making them less efficient in running their home which is a priority as well) and it keeps the children free to pursue what they naturally are inclined to without being overwhelmed...each child needs a basic education, to be widely read, and to have opportunity to pursue the Lord's callings in their life.
This also allows you to invest that money into something else if you do have money for fancy curriculum....for a family trip somewhere or regular short local trips. The longer I homeschool the more I see that memories are made at your weekly outings more than with a certain special curriculum. Reading aloud on the couch is so special...especially with your littles.
I think it is hilarious that after I mentioned the best benefit isn't necessarily financial...at the end of the video you brought up how keeping it simple and then adding is the best way to go. The more children you add to your home the more important it is to simplify everything...so you can spend time with them and accomplishing what really matters.
Thank u. Yes said so perfect!
This vlog was terrific esp for those who Home school or are thinking of home schooling. Thanks Amy for a very creative vlog. Nd it being a surprise topic compared to your other vlogs. Great idea. 👍👍👍🤗🤗
This is awesome...must have been a lot of work in the beginning...
Thank you so much for helping families! I also believe in focusing on the basics. Our home has always been lower income, so when my grandmother left me a small inheritance I invested it into things I knew worked for our family: Apologia Science books, Rod and Staff English/Spelling/Math books, and Readers. It has been such a blessing through the years...
I plan to add the Robinson curriculum booklist/Vocabulary for our children...and slowly add the books 1 or 2 a paycheck.
We are not using Rod and Staff Spelling this year...as we did it as a monthly focus last month with Spelling Power-which I got free😉. I love the nonconsumable textbooks, but I definitely have tonassign work...as it provides more than enough.
For us Rod and Staff was a great choice as it is easy to find the books under 20 for math and English...thus 50 a year including the spelling workbook and pass down to the next younger kiddo....so even a large family can homeschool super inexpensively this way to and pass stuff down...because for us it cost us 10 cents a page of bw printing and 25 cents color printing at our library...so printing actually costs us more. You also have super affordable preprinted your curriculum for those like us that printing is an issue. There are so many options to be able to do a great job homeschooling inexpensively.
If you have the internet on a computer...not just a phone like me😉...Khan Academy is great for upper maths and Xtramath is free math fact drill focused on where your kiddos are...so much is out there nowadays. Money isn't an issue unless you cannot afford 10 bucks for paper and pencils-then I would hit your areas back to school parties for great freebies! What God calls you to do He will equip you to do...and will often rearrange your priorities while doing it! The fancy curriculums tend to be for history and science...and those are great, but basics should be first.
My kids do go to public school but I use resources like this at home to help. My son struggles in spelling and worksheet during the summer helps him out alot!!
I cannot wait to order your book from Amazon!! Hopefully itll be in my budget in the coming weeks! Definitely a great price! Wish I had known sooner! My life is going to go so smooth this coming school year!!
Thank you Amy, all my children are grown up, but great information.
I have been going back and forth about homeschooling my youngest three for awhile,cost is always the biggest factor that stops me. But these resources are also awesome for keeping your kiddos minds fresh over summer break too so they don’t slide back too far. Thanks Amy!
With the whole Corona virus situation, and my discuss for public school system, I'm looking to homeschool my 11-year-old son. He has autism spectrum disorder and I feel better if I'm able to teach him because I understand how to do so and he understands me very well. It is August 10th and I'm looking to get him connected as soon as possible
Amy you are so inspiring!
Ok Amy, been counting the minutes for your vidios, You never disappoint me, Have a blessed day.💜 What us this wanting to be first. 💜
Gd morning Amy, WOW thus is awesome you are so resourceful. Have a blessed day 💗🤶
Thank u
This is such a blessing. Thank you. You described it perfectly when looking for online homeschool resources. Click, join, trial period, $$$. So upsetting. You have been such a blessing and inspiration to me. God bless you for all you do.
So wonderful of you to share these resources! Thank you!
Doing household management now…love it! Thanks so much!
Hi Amy from Australia 🇦🇺
Went to your website. Great job!
Thank you
Oh my goodness! God send! You are amazing! I cant wait to go look at this all!!
I’d love to hear more about your homeschooling journey, and how you homeschooled while also taking care of little ones/babies. I’m considering homeschooling, but am intimidated at the thought of teaching him while keeping my toddler occupied. And if we have more babies I’m curious about how that would all work. Thanks for sharing this video today! ❤️
I have a bunch of informational videos about these such things. Look in playlist :)
amy maryon thank you!! ❤️
This would have come in so handy. My kids are 29, 27. Back then it was tough. My eldest did not want to live in a christian home so he was taken by family at 15 long sad story. Any ways, What I did love and was able do pass down and share was Math U See. Could not have survived without it. I remember people back then home schooled in fear as many were being reported and threaten with having their kids taken away. My son graduated at 15 at a collage level. I'm sharing this to help others out there thank you so much, Amy you accomplish so much.
Awesome! I homeschool almost free too... right now we’re only at the pre-k level right now so I’m sure as he gets older I’ll have to dig harder to find what I need... but for now, at his age, there’s a ton of free resources available! I don’t like to be printing off a bunch or sheets though. We try to be environmentally friendly and use slates and chalk for written work... it works for now anyway... I’ll defiantly be checking out your blog... thanks for offering it for free!
Ooooo I had to add: just looked at the home economic stuff and that’s an awesome guide!!!! You ROCK!
Thank u
Hi Mrs. Maryon! You are one of my favorite homeschool resources on the net. First of all, your voice is soothing and I’m a mom of 9 soooo YAY!😂 Your channel is so informative and well rounded and I really appreciate all the help you provide! I have 3 southpaws so I’m excited that you have curriculum that caters to that! So cool. Anyway thank you again for all your help and have a blessed new year!🤗❤️
You are welcome. Have a wonderful day 💕
Amy, you are such a resourceful person and talented. Did you get all this knowledge from your Mom? If so, she did a great job. I love watching your videos and get inspired to cook more and organize my cleaning time. Great job! 🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻
Jesus:). Thank u
As a single mom of 3, one school aged with intellectual disability whom I just pulled out, THANK YOU!!!!!
Welcome
I want to do the Home Ec with all of my olders this year😎.
Thus was so full of useful information and resources I am blown away. This is amazing and I am so glad I came across your video today. Thank you!
Welcome. I am doing another one Tuesday this week ☺️
You are so amazing! Thank you for all your hard work
I am so grateful for your free curriculum! My first grader is thriving with it and my 3rd grader is doing your english. I love the concept of doing the 3 R's and then plugging in whatever afterwards. It makes homeschooling doable and more enjoyable! My only question is how did you write all of this with 10 kids?! I have a store on TPT and I can only produce maybe 1 product a month with only 4 kids.
It took me years...way before vlogging :). Actually did it when we moved here..I had a lot more time on my hands :)
This is amazing 🤩 thank you!
Our library has an online language learning program. Forget what it was called. I will call them and find out for you. I need to read my Nook. You can jack the font size up (I'm farsighted), And then there is Libby for downloading books on to your e-reader. My brother was left handed. I always notice lefties. :) I can't do cross words, always got annoyed when teachers would make us do them. I can do word finds though, and Doduko (spelling), and logic problems in those magazines.
God bless you thank you so much for this .
I have had family tell me that i need to put my oldest back in school hes left handed and was told hes ADHD , & middle one might be left handed . We are a family of 6 pluss I am a caretaker . I wish knew about you sooner but so glad you pop on my youtube search thank you agian :,) 👍❤️😊
I wish you would talk about why you decided to home school ?
I have many times...in question and answer videos :). Look in playlist on my channel
Very interested in homeschooling. Thank you for the information! New subbie and will be checking out your blog!
Thank you so much Amy!!!!!
Wow, this is awesome content!!! Thank you so much! As a single parent homeschooler I'm always searching for low cost and free materials! Great video, new subbie!
💜💜💜 such good basics to build off of !!
Here in Norway, everyone have to go to a public school. Homeschool would be wonderful because there is a lot of problems on most public schools. But you got to send your kids to a public school. I think it's very sad. You do a wonderful job, Amy! Have a wonderful day! Hugs from Norway.
I didn't know that. I thank you for sharing.
In Serbia too!!
Omg thank thank thank you!!! I was freaking out at the cost of everything!!!!!!
Change your mindset from teaching like public school it's completely different
I homeschool in California. We use a free math course online called Zearn. Its K-5 and it is more like a game type curriculum and it my daughter loves it.
Thank you. We recently had a similar situation as you.
Blessings to you. Thank you.
I am wanting to homeschool my children this year but I do not know where to even begin
What do you do for the older ones after 8th or 9th grade that you have?
Thank you sooo much, this was absolutely helpful. Halfway through the video I had to give thanks to The Lord for leading to your video!! 😊
He is so good!!! Praising Him with you
Thank you so much
Thank you for this gift.
Woah you are an amazing women! 🙌🏼
You are a blessing
Thanks Amy we've used it and will use it again this coming year...such a blessing ♡ I'm excited to try the life skills and home economics skills with my kids once they get to high school...what's the title of the girls one with devotionals on amazon?
Home economics becoming a daughter of purpose it is green
@@amymaryon ok I'll check it out :)
How wonderful
Funny you posted this today... Last night, my husband and I just ordered your first grade book. It should be here tomorrow! (Our son is 5) Last year we spent well over $1,000 on School curriculum and we found that the fit just wasn't good for us. Not good at all. 😬 We ditched all that curriculum and started making our own and it has made life so much easier. We are actually seeing results because we simplified! I can't wait for your book to arrive so that I can mix it up a little bit. I love that it is the basic skills because will have to test our son when he enters fifth grade.( Here in TN) I think the testing is nerve-wracking for any parent(s) and I will be so happy to have some reassurance that we are on the right track. Thanks Amy ❤
Oh I am so happy. Yes testing seems so nerve wracking ...do u have to follow a certain test or can u use any standard test?
From what I understand it is to be administered by a educational professional from our school district and I believe it is just a standard state test. Here's what I found on our tennessee.gov for homeschooling. However, when I sign the forms for 'intent to homeschool' this year in August I will be asking the district if I can have examples of what the tests are going to be like when he enters fifth grade. It is a long ways away, but I know that time will come fast.
"In grades 5 and 7, same state board approved secure standardized tests required of public school studentsIn grade 9 same state board approved secure standardized tests required of public school students but NOT the high school proficiency test"
Thank you for your reply, Amy.
I'm sure you can get some sample tests online....they should be pretty standard. No stress you got this. :)
I will certainly be searching many outlets for some test samples. To keep our stress low- we'll just be prepared. I'd be lying if I said it didn't scare me though. I'm really going to appreciate having your books on hand for the next few years! But mostly, I really appreciate your support today! A little bit of affirmation goes a long way for us who are new to the game- but know it's in our heart to tackle this. Thanks again!
You have to cover basics....the rest will natural lly come :). U got this...
Thank you such a blessing
I am curious, what list of standards did you use to write your curriculum? For example, if I buy a work text in the store it will have a list of the national standards that it meets. Did you research to see what each grade needs to come out knowing in the end?
I have looked at a few of your resources to see how they compare with the things I am familiar with.
Yes i did. :). Used a lot of resources on what your child needs to know at each grade level plus knowing the tests and what they ask...i did this
amy maryon, Thanks for your reply. The pieces I looked through looked as if you had done some research but I was curious.
Thanks! I will be purchasing a couple of your books. Does Life skills for Boys cover personal finance?
Yes
U can see the course on my blog...it is free and includes all
@@amymaryon Thanks. I will order a copy. I appreciate your response.
Those books have answer keys? Some subjects that I’m not good at it.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you!
How do you account for technological skills? Typing, evaluating resources/sites, research, creating presentations, spreadsheets etc.? I know they aren't required as you said, but do you teach your kids those skills?
Yes we do..I call them real life skills.. they come with everyday life and what we have to do so we just do them as part of life
Good info, thank you.
Where were you from in Michigan? I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula. In a tiny town call Iron River. Such a simple town.
The thumb area is where i lived:) beautiful up north
Hey Amy! Just wondering whether you have a national or state curriculum you have to follow while homeschooling. In Australia we have an outcomes based curriculum which is mandated across each state.
No each state has its own rules and standards. We have to test every year that is all
I did k12 its online public school but you do it all at home. And its 100% free
Your a God Send!!
What age is your life skills for guys recommended for?
I am homeschooling 3 of my kids for the first time this year. Where do you register for the SAT test? The internet searches are confusing.
You would have to see who administers it in your area....try the local college
Hi could you please give me the details of the schooling books from amazon
Is this only available for purchase in the states? I'm in Canada
It's on Amazon and free on my blog
