The Evan-Moor Read and Understand Folktales & Fables grades 2-3 is amazing. A variety of skills are covered with each story. We use the poetry one as well.
Oh I need to find that. I've been incorporating more fables into our days here at the end of 2nd grade and would love to add even more. Thank you for that!
All of these workbooks look so fun! I wish my kiddos were pulled towards them more. I've been seeing a lot of Memoria Press spelling and I may have to give it a try, we haven't used a structured spelling curriculum before and my soon to be 4th grader has mentioned it recently. Looks like you guys will have some fun stuff to dive into this year!
Will be watching your progress updates closely this year, specifically for Writing & Rhetoric. Wish more people would create 'Do a Lesson with Me' videos regarding W&R. Also looking forward to the end of year review of it. Great video. ❤️
I will add "do a lesson" for W&R to my list! It will be a little bit as I dont plan to start that one until later this summer. Thank you for watching and commenting ❤
Hello! First time here, great choices! I have a third grader, as well, and we are doing many of the same things. I've got to say, though, this is a lot of curriculum! I'm curious how you fit all of this in... any chance you are making some kind of daily/weekly schedule video?
Hello and welcome! I do videos like that occasionally along with some "day in the life" videos that give a glimpse of how our rhythms go. Not everything is done everyday. Alot of the workbooks are not meant to last an entire year so that helps to be able to finish so many. We love options and having all of this at our disposal let's us chose the best fit for the day while ✅ off the subject. Glad you stopped by!
I’m not sure if you shared somewhere in another video, but can you share why you went from Dimension to Primary 2022, then back to Dimensions? I know you had a semester of using the old primary too. We struggled through Dimensions 1A and it’s quite difficult for my daughter, I’m considering switching to Primary 2022 (not sure if I should do 1A or just start with 1B since they are so different). From your review video it felt like Primary 2022 could be good. Just curious why you switched back? What didn’t work for you? Thanks so much for your comparison videos!
The main reason we are moving out of PM2022 is that it di6dnt not offer the same level of difficulty on the scope and sequence as Dimensions or the original PM For example Dimensions and original PM teaches multiplication and division in 1B/2A/2B but PM 2022 barely touches it in 2B. I also didn't love the teachers guide set up, wasn't not something I personally enjoyed using. One thing I dis love however was the amount of work and the student guide setup! Hope that helps!
Last year we would do Math,Reading, & spelling 4/5 days a week. History and Science would be rotated every other day, each being done 2 times a week. Most anything else would done 3 days a week. I didnt have set days that something was done I just made sure they were done the amount of days I had planned for each subject.
We did AAS in 1st and part of 2nd grade. We LOVE AAR but AAS just wasn't working super great for her. It's possible the timing was just off too. AAS is also very teacher intensive and I needed to narrow down a few of my teacher intensive curriculums. Glad you enjoyed the video ❤
I remember the Turtle 🐢 & the Heir Fable.. I am learning to whistle songs .. one day I might record Me whistling the songs.. yes very old Disney songs I grew up with. Yes my boyfriend & I go back & forth which ones to have playing end up doing our 2ND reunion. When we surprise each other we have made our discussion to homeschool when we have kids down the road. I usually look at special needs & mental illness.. fine motor skills, Handwriting, reading & math issues.. ADHD. The school system no I am not putting my feature kids through what I went through in special Ed in the school system no thanks. Yes I been attacked for my spelling. With my dyslexia I know how to spell it then my dyslexia brain spells it wrong 😑. Dose drive me crazy. I had to explain to people no I don’t need to back to school learn to spell yes it’s take effect to get them all right. Or checking my spelling.
I try to find age appropriate book/movie combos for some. Others I pick based on authors we like. Then others will be recommended from other homeschool families. At the beginning I tried to narrow down genres that I thought she liked and go from there :)
Can you please send all the books by post so I don't have to by them so have you finished your vido so if free
I love the video! Great picks. I'd love to see more about Writing Retoric!
Thank you! I will try to have a review of that coming up soon. Thanks for watching ❤

I sure hope it's good, we are both excited about our picks (as much as a 3rd grader can be anyways lol)

Great video!! We are also going to use rhetoric for writing and I'm so excited 😊
It looks really good, I have high hopes!
Thank you for watching and commenting ❤
Using this curriculum how would u make a daily and weekly schedule?
Last year we would do Math,Reading, & spelling 4/5 days a week.
History and Science would be rotated every other day, each being done 2 times a week.
Most anything else would done 3 days a week.
I didnt have set days that something was done I just made sure they were done the amount of days I had planned for each subject.
Love your choices- gave me a couple ideas! Did you look at AAS? Just curious why you went with Memoria Press spelling vs AAS. Thanks!
We did AAS in 1st and part of 2nd grade. We LOVE AAR but AAS just wasn't working super great for her. It's possible the timing was just off too. AAS is also very teacher intensive and I needed to narrow down a few of my teacher intensive curriculums.

@@knowledgebynature8480 Thanks for the feedback! I enjoy your perspective- so helpful
My pleasure, AAS is really good, if you have the time to commit to it. I might even try it again one of these days 😍
I enjoyed seeing this
Thank you!

How do you pick read alouds?
I try to find age appropriate book/movie combos for some. Others I pick based on authors we like. Then others will be recommended from other homeschool families.
