hey so how did your 5 year old do with the Level b, my daughter turns 5 in 3 weeks, and I have been looking at A BUT she is very advanced for her age, she is already reading, and doing simple addition and substraction, I know I can do tweaking of the packages but I was wondering if we should skip A and go to B
Perfect timing for me to see this. I'm on the border about homeschooling my almost 5yr old son. Let's just say it is the hardest job in the entire world being a homeschool/SAHM. I was drowning in information on curriculum. Definitely looking into this.
I taught adults the science of radiology and have never taught kids but wow that system looks awesome! It practically creates the curriculum for you. And I like that it has a corresponding computer component as well as room to adjust the courses and assignments! The Moore kids are going to have a lot of fun this school year! 🧑🎓👨🎓👩🎓💕
I love hearing from experienced teachers! Yes, it helps so much that they do all the work for you to make homeschooling easy for us busy parents!👍 Thank you Maggie!💛💛💛
I’m still exploring what works best for us. So this year we started with ACE. So far it’s going amazing. Even my 2 year old is picking up on how to read.
Wow! We have been using The Good and Beautiful, but this year I wanted to just use TGAB for Math, and look around for something else for reading, science, LA! This looks like an awesome curriculum! Thanks for sharing.
I just looked up TGAB for Math, I like trying out different math and I love that this one incorporates God's creation. I'm glad this curriculum review was helpful!👍 I like to share what I do for homeschooling in hopes that it will help another parents who are looking to homeschool or try a new curriculum!💛
I grew up loving books and now I can teach my kids History, Language Arts, and Science through fun story books with a well planned out curriculum!💛 Glad you enjoyed it Kelly!
Looks like so much fun, thanks for sharing! I'll be going the college life soon, so no more homeschool for me. I really love how the courses lay it all out for the year, so much easier. Have a great week! ☺️
Yeah absolutely, I'm glad you enjoyed the review! Congrats!!!🎉 College is pretty exciting! Yes, BookShark did it right and made a curriculum perfect for homeschooling! Thank you Faith, have a wonderful week yourself!💛
OMG! I didn't know you had a RUclips channel. My children (ages 4, 2, and 17 months) and I enjoy watching you on Yippee! They're loving the Bible Camp series right now. I'm ready for a new Face Your Fears with the Moores. Thank you for sharing your Book Shark haul.
Awee thank you Ka’Lon!!! That’s awesome you and your kids are enjoying the shows on Yippee! 👏 I’m glad you found us here on YT as well! 😊 have a blessed day!
I saw the price and thought wow what's crazy! But as I listen to you going through everything I was amazed! Very good! My daughter is a very auditory learner so she loves books and I think this would be excellent for her going into kindergarten
This is definitely a great schooling curriculum for someone who needs help with organizing. Are you going to do an updated photo for all of the kids? Looks like Sophia has sun highlighted hair, pretty. Jirah's bun hair is cute.
Yes, I'm definitely someone that organization doesn’t come easy too!😂 Yeah, the kids photos are a little old and we should update them!💛 Awe, thank you! Sophia's hair defiantly had a golden glow about it! Jirah loves tying different hairstyles💛💛💛
We are homeschooling this year for the first time EVER!! 🤯 We are using Easy Peasy for LA and Math, Mystery of History, and God’s Design for Life. I’m so excited!!
After watching this I looked up Book Shark since it looks great!! I’m glad you got it free since most people can’t afford it!!! It’s VERY expensive. Good luck.
Our family adores you all!! We homeschool as well (twins 3rd grade, 1st grade, and prek), and are gearing up for a new school year to start in a couple weeks. I’m curious, about how many hours a day do you dedicate to school for your crew?
I watched this video. My questions are as follows.1 Do you do the ordering curriculum and the online? 2. If you do the online do you really need a cover school? We have usually done Sonlight (which reminds me a lot of this) and a cover church school which was rather expensive. This year we are still doing the cover school but are doing spectrum because it's less expensive. I am the nana (teacher) and his mother works out of the home. I was trying to find prices for 6th grade but am still searching their website
So book shark and sonlight are the exact same thing but book shark is secular while sonlight is Christian based. From my understanding at least if anyone has more knowledge of this and is willing to correct me if I'm wrong?
Hi Karinna, that's a very good question! For the girls they do their devotions in the mornings by themselves. It involves reading a chapter from the Bible, any chapter they choose, then in their journal write what they’ve learned and then give me a verbal account of the chapter. I will also give the girls the verse for the week and have them recite it each day. I am using "Long Story Short" for all the kids, it's a ten-minute devotional we do at the beginning of our school day. www.christianbook.com/story-short-minute-devotions-your-family/marty-machowski/9781935273813/pd/273813 The boys also have a memory verse for the week. I like this book to help with verses to pick from: www.christianbook.com/awesome-bible-verses-every-should-mean/rebecca-lutzer/9780736939386/pd/939386?event=ESRCG
Are you still doing book shark? I am a Christian homeschool mom and I would love to see what you are doing with history and Bible. Sonlight has an old earth view which we do not align with, I'm curious if you supplement with anything for science if you see evolution concepts being taught
Hi💛 Yes I’m still using Book Shark curriculum. History is throughout the curriculum, so we are in World History ll this year. If something pops up in science we don’t agree with we just skip that section for the day. For Bible we do memory verses and Bible reading in the morning.
Am 13 years old and now i like more homeschool than that we go on school and is not stressful like we have it and want know if the kids have exams cause we have
Hi👋 Yes the kids do have exams. We are with a Charter School, they work with homeschoolers and provide exams and state testing throughout the year. We do everything public schools do but in the home though online classes apart from the curriculum we are going through.
We usually use Abeka, we love that it’s Bible based but this year we are moving to another state so we decided on a slower curriculum for 2 of my kids (mostly Abeka, also using Math U See and Wordly Wise) and still using Abeka for my youngest. I love watching your videos on Book Shark and looked into it but the price was kind of steep, I do love all the reading and hands on stuff, wish it was faith based. We are pretty careful what we let the kids watch and read, have you found the books to be good in that aspect? Hope y’all have an awesome school year!
I am wanting to snag bookshark for the curriculum this year. What Level would you do for a 10 & 13 year old. I know you can purchase additional workbooks and stuff. I’m still fairly new to this so any advice would help
Isn’t it harder for Sophia/Jeremiah to make the same things as Jirah/Micah since they are younger and therefore has had less school years? And I’ve always wondered if Savannah has a job or is she always home with the kids?
Thank you for the question Nathalie!👍 I'm going to give you some links that I hope will help answer your questions: www.bookshark.com/blog/bookshark-multiple-children/ For the younger kids like Micah and Jeremiah, there is a larger gap between where they are at in learning. BookShark provides three levels of Language Arts in the Level B History. So I can get worksheets that are best suited for Jer and Micah but still keep them learning together in Reading with History B package. Here's a ling for more info on that: www.bookshark.com/about/company-methodology Here is a link that explains more on BookShark Levels: www.bookshark.com/blog/bookshark-misconceptions/ For Math they are doing Math-U-See in their own grade. Yes, I work full-time at home💛
We are starting homeschool for the first time with my first grader. We are doing Accelerated Christian Education. (A.C.E.) Have you heard of it? I would love to hear your feedback on it if you have! Your kiddos always seem like they are loving school!
That's so exciting, first grade is a great age to start homeschooling!😍 I recognize A.C.E but haven't done much research on it. I love that the girls are so interested school, BookShark curriculum makes learning enjoyable for all ages💛
With the boys, they are in school till noon!💛 The time varies depending on their mood, so it’s different each day. One thing I find helps when a child is struggling to focus, I let them go play outside or go ride their bike. After a little time away from school, they come back more focused and we get more done with those little brakes.
I use sonlight and think this is the exact same ciriculum. Do they give you weekly lesson plans? What do you do with books after the yea once all your kids have gone through itr? Also what do you do with all their workbooks? Also is it religion based, I think I might switch to this ciriculum next year!
Yes, they have a lesson plan laid out for you in 4-day 36 weeks schedule. I will probably donate the books or given them to someone looking to do the same curriculum. BookShark curriculum is secular.
Is Level B working out okay for your Kindergartener considering that it is designed fo grades 1-3? I am doing Level A with my 1st grader this year, but next year I'll have a 2nd grader and Kindergartener, and don't really wish to repeat level A if it isn't necessary. Thanks!
My boyfriend & I re set on homeschooling basically I don't want my feature kids go through I went through the school system. The last 3 years was really bad. Someone asked me while ago on Instagram asked me in a comment section why I was looking into the STELLA. I basically said toxic environment,. Abuse neglect, in the school system. PTSD anxiety disorder. That's one of the reasons I basically want to avoid exculisucions from field trips events. I have been labeld crazy lazy speller,. U need to go back to school to learn pro spell I responded back I have seen worse I have seen a lot spelling mistakes. That's why I did back in the spring 🌸 constantly checking spell checking making sure there were no spelling mistakes I was readjusting them yes 👍 I was up late even up till 5-6:00 a.m. At times. Yes 👍 I feel asleep one time. On my desk, this was an essay I was doing it turned out I did a 3-5 page essay. This was for GED test I ll be doing eventually hopefully before Thanksgiving. I have no issues with spelling it's just reading. My nervous ticks. Yes 👍 they re like ants ready to crawl all over my skin. It's a literal device.
Not sure I agree with homeschooling. First off, it’s extra work for you as a mum. Secondly, there is no interaction with other kids like there is at school!
I think Homeschool moms really enjoy relearning and discovering along with their kids... not to say it is not a lot of invesyment, but it is so rewarding! My mom loved homeschooling the 3 kids she had, and I am enjoing the three I have so far. :) As far as interacting with others, I would say homeschoolers habe lits of opportunities for interaction. :)
I hope this video was helpful to those of you who are curious about BookShark!

Hi Moore family. Great seeing this. When your kids are homeschooled. All these years ago my mom homeschooled me as well.
That's so cool! I was homeschooled too when I was younger!
First of I’d like to say I have been watching the Moore’s for a long time and no mater what they always make such good videos
Love you Moores

This was the best video I've seen on book shark! Thank you so much for sharing!
Sophia looks extra pretty today; her hair is gorgeous. I hope you all have a great school year.
Awe, thank you for the sweet compliment!💛 This will make her day!
Thank you, we defiantly are excited for this school year!
We love ace paces and teaching textbooks.
We are doing Teaching Textbooks for the girls!😁
How fun was this video?!! Great haul. I have many of these items in our homeschool space. Best wishes on the new school year!
I don’t have kids but this makes homeschool look easier!
I've done a lot of different homeschooling techniques/curriculums, this is by far my favorite!!!

Yes!
Are you guys using a charter school in Idaho? What math curriculum are you using?
How do you manage to do both levels since it requires A LOT of parent involved?

Good question Beverly!👍 Here’s a link to explain how it works: tinyurl.com/VirtualSeat
I really like this. Did they happen to give you a discount code?
Glad it was helpful to you!💛 Unfortunately, I do not get a discount code.
Hi! What do you use for Bible class? Or do you recommend a separate curriculum?
I wonder what they used when Jirah and Sophia were younger and what they use now. I would use it and I'm not a kid, lol. I'm a kid at heart though.
😂

Untrue. Most homeschoolers are in SEVERAL outside activities and extra curricular so they interact with other children often.
