    Are all of your educational materials on sale for black Friday? I just got very excited! I'm through shopping for Christmas, but his education is most important and I love a good bargain.

    The Christmas Carol outschool class sounds fun, but my son is super shy. Do the kids have to participate or can they just watch and learn? Thanks!

      They do not have to have their cameras on. Mary is super understanding and respectful of that in all of her book clubs.

    Do you do mail time with any of your followers? My daughter, also Emily, is 9 yrs old and we’re starting mail time/pen pals too. Right now it’s just family and close friends. I thought it was a great idea. We’re just looking to add other kids to our list & I figured the “Emily’s” would enjoy writing to someone they’ve never met and get a different perspective from letters from kids from different areas of our country. I understand if you don’t just thought I’d ask 😊

    I just ordered A Muppets Christmas Carol picture book. I'm so excited! It's my favorite movie (or one of. There are so many). I also bought new chapter books that are set at Christmas to assign my kids for the season. Everyone reading, quietly, a Christmas book, by the fire with hot cocoa and cookies...❤️❤️❤️

    Always love the show and tell videos for the wide variety of perspectives on the chosen topics. I was hoping I could request a future topic of how to deal with FOMO in a multi-kid or coop homeschool setting. I am in my second year, last year was smooth with only my daughter but this year I added in preschool for my son and my daughter complains that he gets to do so much fun stuff to the point she will pout, cry and refuse to do her work and create constant struggle between her and me. It is very frustrating. We do some family subjects as a compromise, but she still needs to do wirk alone at her level. I am hoping that others have faced this and can offer advice!

    This sounds amazing! When do you start the holiday home schooling? Like, now or after Thanksgiving? We have lots of Christmas traditions, but not really homeschool specific. My favorite is probably going to cut down our Christmas tree. You've given me lots of new ideas here! ❤️ 🎄

    After finding your channel a few months ago, I got inspired to do “Christmas school” with my 5 & 7 year old. I am so excited!! I found a spot it Christmas game on Etsy to print and grabbed a few new books and games. Our morning basket will have How Winston delivered Christmas (so cute)! We will also be studying the Nutcracker, and have a gingerbread cookie and house day! I got your polar express unit for us to do also, and I’m super excited for that day!! 🎄 Thanks so much for all your great ideas! Can’t wait to check out your Black Friday sale! 💞

We're doing Christmas around the world this year, too -- I wasn't as detailed in my video as I should have been....I wish I had explained more of what we're doing....but in reality we ARE very laid back in December as we're doing Year Round Homeschooling this year for the first time.
